Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Ayvar]

That does slightly more DPS than the OP's rotation.

It is the "HP IDC TTT // HP TTT TTT" rotation I listed in my post. We just use 1 letter for the abilities because it sucks to type them all out (and read them).

I feel like we go round and round on this. There are good discussions on pages 9 and 15 over the use of Fracture. Automatically labeling it as a dps loss is incorrect, the rotations without it assume 100% boss uptime. So far I've had 100% uptime on exactly one boss (Caduceus). Fracture is our second best potency ability (after Phlebotomize) that does not require a combo.

You can return to page 9 if you want for the calculations. Here's the rotation mentioned in the last two posts:

HT-PH-ID-Dis-CT-TT-VT-FT-HT-PH-TT-VT-FT-TT-VT-FT

Disembowel falls off by the time the rotation comes around, but Heavy Thrust is up so add an extra move for the buffed HT, and there's no DoT clipping:

170-187/132-198-242-193/220-181-242-363-205-205/132-181-242-363-181-242-363+187 (extra HT) for 17 moves total

4429 over 40.8s (2.4 GCD) = 108.5 potency/s

From page 9 (my original rotation accounting for the single clipped CT): 109.1 potency/s

Again, I do not want to come across as opposing Easy on everything, but don't ignore the last 15 pages of discussion by saying "yeah this does more dps".

Also, Easy, I was wondering if it would be alright if I add a section for your IDC rotation. I've been practicing it since it has much better dps with 100% uptime, and it's easier on tp starvation fights (such as the previously mentioned Caduceus). I think that would be useful information for people to have.
