Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Itseotle]

Nah, you still need to flank for ring of thorns combo and for 170 pot. It's like Monk now, you flank for full damage, but if something screws up and the mob turns or some such, you're not stuck using heavy thrust all over again for the buff. Staying behind the enemy for Chaos Thrust for the extra pot will be weird, but changing the requirement frees us up to use chaos on any target from any angle.

Ah yes, misread the path notes. They took the directional boost from Impulse Drive away, which is fine. I still don't like the extra rear potency from Chaos Thrust, they should have added that to Impulse Drive instead imo that way the play style would remain unchanged. Now in order to maximize dps we should aim for a rear attack on 2 hits instead of one. I'm not saying its the end of the world though, just something I find slightly annoying.

Doesn't Impulse drive buff completely destroy the needs to use TT > FT in earlier leveling? Not that it matters much, of course.

Well, spamming Impulse Drive does cost a bit more TP, so there is that, but really at that level it doesn't matter much either way. What this does mean though is that the rotation for killing low-hp mobs, such as boss adds, might be a little different.
