Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Hakmatic]

Some groups get to that first blighted faster, some get there slower. If i just applied phl right before first blighted im not going reapply it like he stated right after^

You probably should. If you don't, it will likely run out either during or before the next Blight (during the bee), and it has been ticking for probably a good 5+ seconds (unless you happened to apply it as Blighted was being cast).

If you feel your DPS is good enough to let your DoTs on the boss run out as you kill the Bee, by all means do it. But I'm going to maximize my DPS

[Hakmatic]

You learn to Play with your group, my dps is really high my friend ask anyone on Couerl.

Clipping dots is not maximizing btw.

Letting a DoT drop is worse DPS than clipping it in this case, since you're not choosing whether to DoT or, say, use a buffed FT...you're trying to keep as much DoT damage going while dealing with mechanics that cause a forced interrupt of your rotation (in this case, in two ways)

Do you not stop your combo to HT - ID in preparation for Conflags on T5 (pre-echo)? Similar situation in T6.

dude i know how to play my class trust me, but to tell someone new to always do that is wrong, and to clip dots is wrong, i know how to keep substained dps, i do over 350 on t6. I Know whats going on.

[Hakmatic]

thats if im not devoured of course.

-Full Thrust combo has a total potency of 680 and an average potency of 226.67 (680 / 3), not qualifying Heavy Thrust or Disembowel (which hurts my credibility, but go along with it for a minute please.
-Chaos Thrust combo has a total potency of 900, and an average potency of 300 ([600+300dot] / 3). However the total potency exceeds FT at a mere 3 ticks of CT (600+90).

Phlebotomize is 320 total. 170 (0 ticks) > 195 (1) > 220 (2) > 245 (3) > 270 (4) > 295 (5) > 320 (6).

If you clip Phleb as much as 2-3 ticks early or CT as much as 5 ticks early, it is still way over net positive from the "baseline" of TTT. Discounting cases where you applied a buffed DoT and clip it with unbuffed, but even then you'd have to crunch some numbers to back that up.

DoT clipping is not a crime.

Except its NOT wrong to clip DoTs if the situation calls for it. If you happen to have the perfect group DPS where everything lines up perfectly, good for you.

A new person will not have that.

And it is better DPS for them to re-apply everything in preparation for the Blighted Bee than it is to keep plugging away at TTT and having no DoTs or Dis ready for the add. Blighted, especially for people not used to the mechanic, is a stop in the rotation, sometimes such that you have to start over anyway. And if you die because you're not ready, trying to get one more ability in before preparing for the add...well, 0 DPS is worse than clipping DoTs, for sure.

My dots dont run out, just cause I disagree with what he is saying does not in no way mean i dont have dots going
