Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[TheKingSlayer]

As a DRG is there anything I might want to know, like how I should deal with Chariot and stuff like that?

For T9 here are something's to consider:
1) the DPS check starts at the very beginning of the fight. Never stop hitting the boss... Ever.
2) save SSD for the first iron chariot. If you did your rotation right, you'll land an ID drive right as she jumps for iron chariot. You then have time to SSD over to her, throw up the CT, run to middle. Once she turns to face group you can run out to pop HT and phleb as she lands back on tank
3) also watch out for exploding tank. The tank will explode a few seconds after a skill she uses I forget which, if you use jump during explosion it triggers as you being in aoe and will one shot you.

The rest is all preference and how your group decide to do the mechanics. We solo tank it and only get one add on heavens fall and four meteors (very close to pushing three meteors

Anyhow guys, I finally started training T9 yesterday - seems to be a hella fight. As a DRG is there anything I might want to know, like how I should deal with Chariot and stuff like that?

I'm not the drg in my static, but I've noticed that if our drg doesn't have the mark for Thermionic Beam he doesn't rush over to stack in the middle at all, he ssd on him, does the next attack in his combo, dodges chariot and tries to stack, if he makes it, great, if not it's okay too.

The most net potency you can gain from changing the rotation after FT is around 150, assuming we clip Phlebotomize, unless we're counting some coefficient from STR potions or IR I'm unaware of the value of.

364.1 and thats not a wrong number =)

[VladTepes]

Its something that stay within the free company, I can assure you that its fully workin since it have + 364.1 combat potency compared to what most of people use (the classic HT-IR-ID-BFB-Dis-Sweep-CT-PS-Ph-Jump-TT-VT-LS-FT-HT-TT-VT-Sweep one).

Thanks for keeping it a secret on my behalf. +1

It really doesn't do the DRG community any good if you're holding back information on a thread that exists solely for the purpose of improving dragoons out there.
Lest we forget monks are still the kings of single-target dps.

About how much dps should an i96 dragoon with a liberator(110) do in turn 6?

[natyusha]

HT+B4B-ID+IR-Dis+Pot-CT+PS,sweep-PH+jump-TT+Drgfire-VT+LS-FT+spine(if not used on pull) just do that and you will break 600 burst everytime if geared correctly.

This is almost the exact opener that I use (swap B4B and IR) and I'm pretty sure that there is nothing better. I seriously doubt that any changes made to the regular rotation after that point would result in anything but a dps loss.

This opener will regularly burst over 1000 depending on crits.

Wouldn't you keep bfb where it is? Popping IR after is better I'd have thought, because it is up for less time so makes sense not to use it first.

They also mean 600 dps over the burst rotation which is good to get. 1000 dps over the whole burst? Wat. Lol.

[Tilgung]

No, you want IR to drop before the LS+FT so you're not wasting a potential critical hit.

My thoughts exactly. Stay in your FC forum if you want to circlejerk. Posting about some high-DPS opener, and then not saying what it is, is less than useless.

You think you've done 1/100th as much for the advancement of dragoons as EMX? Probably not, and he shared his ass off.

Goobers.
