Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Dervy]

1) Make sure you're hitting your positionals properly. You must hit Chaos Thrust from the Rear and Heavy Thrust from the Flank still to have increased DPS.

2) Use your Jumps, especially "Jump" as soon as it comes off cooldown. You should always have it every other Jump is buffed by BFB. First jump will have BFB, second will be unbuffed, 3rd is buffed, 4th is unbuffed etc. It'll flow much easier. (EDIT: This should only happen if you save your buffs for bursts like I do, not optimal in any way what so ever)

3) Always time Life Surge so it's used with your Full Thrust. Don't wait for buffs. At your Skill Speed you should have no problem achieving this.

522 * 1.06 = 523.32. You've hit your new DPS right on the head of the nail. No need to worry.

hmm my 1st jump is with IR/BFB/PS, 2nd unbuffed, 3rd IR/PS, 4th BFB, 5th unbuffed, 6th IR/PS, 7th BFB etc.. idk if u saving PS for BFB everytime but i dont and u can get so much more buff jumps with new patch. PS always lines up while IR is on and then when BFB ready u still get a buffed jump. Works out great for me

1) ...Heavy Thrust from the Flank still to have increased DPS.

Unless something isn't working as advertised...


Heavy Thrust: Weapon skill direction requirements for the additional effect have been abolished.

Edit:

DERP! Still has the potency boost from flank. My mistake...I missed that.

Is what Heavy Thrust does now.

Yeah...caught that after I took another look at it. Just the bonus 15% to damage lost the positional.
