Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Crimz]

Got T8 down last week as soon as we switched to 5 DPS instead of being hipsters that we were and doing double tanks (plenty of 1% runs with double tank though... damn dreadnought enrage). So this week I lucked out and got H.A. boots and my i110 Liberator.

Now after practicing T9 for a couple days I'm wondering how other DRGs are keeping up-time during Chariot/Beam combo. At the moment I'm just putting an extra Fracture before Chariot then spamming Piercing Talon during that while being stacked up with the group; we do have our MNK jump in right after chariot to keep his greased lightning but I figure for us DRGs it's better to get in 5-7 Piercing Talons then to run up to the boss to get a True & Vorpal thrust(My Phlem is already on her) on her before she Dalamund Dives.

The way I find works best for our group (I'm the only melee dps) is I don't stack up for Thermionic Beam at all.
I save Spineshatter/Dragonfire dive to jump to the boss as soon as the jump for Iron Chariot occurs.

For the first Iron Chariot it's time for me to reapply my Phlebotomize & Chaos Thrust combo so this is what this phase of the fight looks like to me.

1. Phlebotomize
2. Impulse Drive
3. Boss jumps for Chariot/I follow with Spineshatter or Dragonfire Dive
4. Disembowel while running out of Chariot aoe
5. Run back in after aoe and use Chaos thrust and IMMEDIATELY run threw the group towards the MT.

Step 5 allows me to sometimes help split the dmg from Thermionic Beam(really just depends on where boss is when they do chariot) and it allows me to immediately continue my rotation when the boss is back at the MT as I'm there waiting.

You can still continue your normal rotation during chariot except for heavy thrust. Once he lands hit him once during chariot cast n run out, then chariot goes off run to him abit to hit him again then quickly back to the center to soak beam damage and throw a piercing talon. Assuming you gather in the center for beam.

Edit: missed post above he explains it better lol
