Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[mythicrose]

There is that thing about dots not being 100% accurate.. I have both SMN and DRG, and while DRG def feels like I'm doing more damage, things just melt for my SMN. It's a tough call to be honest.

I've not played a summoner yet. I know foe req helps the summoners when it's being played. Would the dots spreading between dreads and the avatar be that extra boost over the monk in my group that's just pounding away at him? I'm just confused how neither summoner is as geared as the monk or myself but parsing nearly 20 dps higher than him, nearly 50 higher than myself. I'm not trying to call foul or anything.


I try to keep phlebotomize up on the avatar while a dreadnaught is up. I have a disembowl ready as well for the dreadnaught and save DFD to hit both. The only time I'm not on on the Avatar is when chasing down mines. Based on other posts on here, I'm doing comparable dps to other dragoons. I've got the accuracy covered, so I know I'm not missing attacks. I just can't think of anything that would improve my overall dps to narrow the gap between myself and the summoners. I'm content lagging behind the monk in my group. For all intents and purposes I'm within that 7-8% threshold that monks have over dragoons (posted some time ago by EasymodeX I think) when they're in situations that greased lightning never falls off.

So if anyone else has any tips, I would appreciate it. It's just me...I just hate losing to ranged dps in this game where fights are melee friendly like this one.
