Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Thug_Johnson]

Just recently I hit Lvl 50 with my Dragoon, and I'm looking for some help or pointers for setting up a hotbar using the ps4 controller. Mostly all I see are PC hotbars, and I'm still new to this game and MMOs in general so any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

i am not a controller user myself but i tend to see ppl assigning high frequency skills to their go to buttons,especially the ones that wont conflict with left analog stick,plus its always good to add an additional hotbar just for monitoring all ur cooldowns

in the end i think it all amounts to how fast u r tapping and switching with ur controller,
hell,theres even a sch who managed to solo heal t9 with controller,and the way hes swtiching between skills and targets just looks insane

I think it depends on what your stats you are willing take away from, for me I am going Crit/Det. Mainly because my accuracy is 526 and my determination is 245, so I have room to get rid of some accuracy and make way for determination and critical hit rate. I want to hit harder lol.

I could list my exact setup (which works well for me) but it would be a wall of text.

The general idea I try to use is keep attack abilities (Heavy thrust, Impulse, Disembowel, the "thrust" attacks, etc) on the face buttons (square, triangle, X, circle) so that you can move + attack at the same time. All of my off-GCD abilites (lone exception is jump on triangle) are on the directional buttons, which makes it easy to tap and weave into the normal combos.

In fact.. I have a live stream from the other week I was doing for our FC so they could watch us fail at t6.. Link here: http://www.twitch.tv/whiskey1bravo/b/535172855

I start out as Paladin - fast-forward to about 1:44:00 and you can see my basic set up on Dragoon
