Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Sygmaelle]

So you consistently burst to 1100 huh.

Only with a good chunk of crits, you know the drill

Also Whiskey, crit damage is not really linear, there's that +69% crit damage poppin here and then without any good reason, its just luck. Just open your combat log and you'll see it, be it with or without buffs activated

Not so concerned with figuring crit as a whole, just for how to calculate the impact of Life Surge. 50% boost seems about right based on the damage recorded.

Also, I'm not saying my "rotation" is better than anything else. Someone asked about B4B dropping off before the second full thrust, and I showed them how to fix it without it messing up the rest of the rotation. After further analysis, the +/-100 potency is more or less a wash, as you are losing some potency on the HT afterwards, but it does maximize B4B duration without funky stuff going on. Nothing more, nothing less.

Can we just find a way to do 500 dps on turn 8 already

If you guys haven't figured that out already.. It's probably a lost cause lol

I think it's just a fundamental difference between the jobs. Not exactly fair, but we can hope some adjustments are made. I would say our ST damage is limited due to having pretty good AoE (even if it's never really needed), but that doesn't really make sense now since BLM has the best AoE and damn near the best ST damage after being buffed.

DRGs can pull 500+, but it requires Selene and TP song. I pulled 420-430 dps w/o Selene already.
