Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Teletubby23]

After some brief testing, life surge doesn't line up as cleanly with blood for blood as before, 20+ seconds of waiting at 341 skillspeed, so popping it on full thrust seems to make more sense.

Leveling my Ninja made me appreciate skill speed again and more and more fights seem to favor skill speed now as the ilvl and natural damage goes up. I'm 449 skill speed and I find that if I pop my B4B during my Chaos Thrust combo, the time I have to wait to pair B4B and LS again is either perfect or maybe 4-5 seconds off before B4B is up again. Haven't really tested this but something I notice while light farming Garuda HM today.

Still at i112 right now and I'm hitting more often at 1700s with a full buff FT. http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...acter/6756180/

I love these buffs, though they come too little too late I am now far too heavily invested in poetics toward my ninja to switch back without putting myself seriously behind. ;[

That said, when y'all start hit up FCoB with your fancy new drgs lets see those parses.

Ha. I feel your pain. I was torn between poetics for my ninja or dragoon but ended up doing my goon since it would make light farming easier and is still my main. I was gonna split the two first by getting both chest and legs for them but ended up investing into my drag once I started noticing the extra damage.
