Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Teletubby23]

I agree. I still don't see these changes really upsetting the current heirarchy of the DPS. even with the nerf to ninjas they still get access to very strong, versatile dps tools every 20s while monks bring more utility with their damage. Yeah a monk losing GL is more punishing then compared to not being able to apply ID on paper, But the natural or static damage buff and increasing Skill Speed actually make it less punishing in most fights and monks would still out dps if they didn't mess up too many times. Dragoons on the other hand still don't have the best of both worlds in the sides of SS vs Crit/Det which is inline with their intended Burst damage nature. Now we can just burst more and more often while not killing the balance of the natural buffs from the other classes.

My goodness. This buff is huge.

I am not weeping, my tear ducts are just thrusting.

So happy with these changes, though not good enough for some people on the general discussion forum >.> *pokes with spear*

If only they would have made Blood For Blood 60 sec, would have benefited every class.

The final DPS rotation numbers are based on how much time in what type of encounter?

Simulated DPS. One full H IDC P TTT H TTT P IDC H TTT P TTT H. The most static environment possible with no other variables involved.

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
