Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Ayvar]

So if I'm understanding it correctly, in fights like Garuda, Titan and Cadeucus(sp?;?). My issue will be a non issue because of constant movement? If so, then thank you for this thread.

I would also add Turn 2 due to movement, and almost all of Turn 4 since only two mobs have enough uptime to cause clipping (Dreadnaught #1 and 3). Cadeucus will lead to CT clipping since there is barely any movement away from the boss in that fight (outside of the odd platform dodge).

However, if you are really comfortable with your rotations and the mechanics of whatever fight you're doing I would tend towards the two rotations designed to avoid clipping by default. I just alternate between those two for every fight.

The issue was that while I had 100% uptime of my buffs, I didn't realize the rotation was more built with controller in mind. Plus in actual battles I was pulling very slack DPS. In a group of relic DPS on titan, I was not pulling enough DPS for the heart ( I changed to my bard afterwards and we one shot Titan)

Which rotation is that?

ID - Dis - BfB - CT - HT - TT - VT - IR - FT - Ph - TT - VT - PS - FT - Jump - HT - ID - Dis - CT - Ph - TT - VT - FT - HT - TT - VT - FT - Repeat

I've tried this opening with HT but all it is is a tiny burst at the start but it evens out

The dps should be similar to the others, dunno why it isn't working out for you. There are a couple small things with the oGCD abilities like leg sweep and initial buff timing, but that shouldn't cause the dramatic dps loss that you seem to be experiencing. Must be something else going on.

So, they will be making adjustments to Dragoon's Jump ability, including a reduction on its animation time. Cool.

And boosting melee dps by adjusting the fights. It's like a tasty little snack that I can't stop eating. I just keep coming back to it and it is so delicious.
