Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Ayvar]

Anybody want to share their rotations for dreadnoughts in T4?? ^^

Should be basically similar to the primary Dragoon rotation. They live long enough to get all of your buffs and DoTs up and running, then just refresh as needed from there. Just don't DoT them up a bunch if they're about to die.

Marry Me

Can't argue with good taste

Ahh, yeah I'm using pretty much that rotation; reason why I asked is because I am curious where people slot in their HQ potions (if they use it).

This is usually how i do it:

HT>B4B>ID>IR>DE>PS>CT>JUMP>PH>LS>TT>POT>VT>LS>FT

Ahh why so late? My current setup is something more along the lines of:

HT > IR > ID > B4B > DE > Leg Sweep > CT > PS > PH > POT > JUMP > TT > Spine Shatter Dive > VT > Life Surge > FT > Dragonfire Dive

I usually do it that late so i can get in 2 TTT combos into the potion along with both dives, maybe im doing it wrong, I actually dont even use potions anymore, my static is now geared enough kill the dreads far before the end of the phase and in P6 i just LB P5 dread after we blow the rook up.

I have them on my bar, but I never actually use them XD Anyway, woudn't it make sense to buff up your IDC combo, as IDC > TTT is your most potent 2-combo segment?

Yes, but, it would break your combo......OR SO WE THOUGHT

NEW POT ROTATION!
Pots actually DO NOT break your combo, tested 3 times in CT just now. I was able to pot inbetween Disembowel and Chaos Thrust and still debuff atmos, KB, and arch.

HT>B4B>ID>IR>POT>CT>PS>PH>Jump>TT>SSD>VT>LS>FT>DFD

Now, on your bar it shows that the combo is broken, BUT, if you use the spell anyways it still goes off as if it were combo'd. GG

edit: if you notice, in my old pot rotation i was popping pots during my combo, so i have tested it many times before this without breaking my combo and still hitting a 1500 FT, i had just never realized i was doing it in my combo, i just did it lol.

I only use a potion on the P5 Dread (if we don't, for some really strange reason, have enough DPS for the P3 Dread...) since we have the MT tank both P5 and P6.

I use it after CT (using a pot breaks combos) but before Phlem on the initial combo; lasts long enough to buff FT to almost 1500, and not long after that P6 begins and I need to go tank the Rook

Ahh, yeah i've recently started only using it on P5 too, sometimes i need it on P3, sometimes I don't; depends if our BLMs proc'ing heh. But you can see my order below, maybe I should slot it before PH like you; I have pretty high SS so I could probably get that FT and DFD in time.
