Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

So still save life surge for blood for blood or pop it on jumps/ft if bfbs cool down is too long?

BfB is a 30% damage boost, so if you wait for more than 30% of life surge CD you should just use it now. So if you are going to have BfB in 10-12 sec (just about to come off CD), then wait for it ; if not just use life surge on the next high potency attack.

I feel we just became god mode, I appreciate the buffs a lot, but we don't even get a penalty for missing positionals? I wanted to be the top DPS, even if they had to increase difficulty, but the class became a lot easier?

I'm not sure if I like this or not, a lot of non dragoons gonna be real mad.

Penalty is the reduced potency for HT and CT, which make sense since you don't since MNK lose their whole damage buff when they failed to land Twin Viper from side.

patch notes saying for chaos thrust potency increased by 50 from behind yet in-game text saying Flank combo potency 250. Which one is the truth lol

The real question here is when are they going to nerf their physical defense down to the other melees defense lol

It's 100% rear. It's a typo in-game. There's a HUGEE difference in using CT from the Rear compared to any other position - Almost 100 Damage difference for me at i105.

After some brief testing, life surge doesn't line up as cleanly with blood for blood as before, 20+ seconds of waiting at 341 skillspeed, so popping it on full thrust seems to make more sense.

Yeah, i116 testing showed about a 120 damage difference, with rear clearly being the correct position to use Chaos Thrust from.
