Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[rickyguo]

I honestly dont like the positional change.

There really isn't any place in final coil where you can't prepare for boss movement in advance and either adjust your rotation or hit your positional in that 1 second window before like the megaflare stack kills you. I mean I guess it'll be the same still since meeting it will +dps but I really enjoy trying to meet positionals through mechanics and adjusting rotations to get through them.

"Before we added ninja, monk was clearly the better DPS but had a way higher skill ceiling so this difference was ok."

I really don't like that. I don't think skill ceiling should affect dps that much. Does that mean that any "good" player who can hit both skill ceilings should be playing monk?

I didn't switch to monk despite drg shortcomings but if it ends up like a monk that doesn't have to keep up greased lightning then I might switch simply because it's too boring or there's no challenge involved. We have two skills that require positionals. If it's a slight potency loss on both then the difference between a drg who hits all positionals and one who doesn't will be extremely minimal unlike monks who has positionals on every part of their 3 move combo.

HT and disembowel was 50 dps during a 8min avatar fight. Most monk potency drops are like 20% for missing positionals. This means that if the change is similar then you will lose 10 dps over an 8 minute fight if you do not hit any positionals what so ever.

Will see depending on details of the changes.
