Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[SunnyHirose]

I do ht first since I don't like delaying my first ht with a leg sweep but I didn't do math on which is better

Leg Sweep: 130 potency
Leg Sweep with HT + D + BfB + IR buffs: 130 * 1.15 * 1.1 * 1.3 * it's gear-dependent and RNG but let's call it 1.05* = 224.47425 potency #nopotion

20s cooldown = 6.5 pps unbuffed

To break even with 94.47425 extra potency from waiting for buffs at 6.5 pps, you'd need a 14.5345 second head start.

* Because that's very roughly what it is at ~500 crit

That's waay too late for me. I had to actually pop Invigorate at around 500 TP so Invigorate could be up for the 2nd set of adds. I always ran out of TP by then... I guess I'll have to get my bard to start using Armys Paeon between the two add sets.

How far are you from getting your zodiac? it helps, a lot. As I said, I have no additional ss either. Its also possible that my team dps is higher than that of the ones you've tried with - imdugud just seems to melt.

Excluding the bard, my static parses 460+ dps each no matter if we're marked for Wild Charge or tethers. I can get to 490-500 if I'm lucky and we hit 5 stacks by the time the first set of adds are dead. I think 9 for the second set, so I'd say my groups overall dps is pretty high for our ilvl.

As for my zodiac, I need 6 more of those atma's. I've been getting so unlucky with drops. That being said, I got 4 of them yesterday lol.

I hate being a casual scrub.

well your static certainly doesn't have any issues with dps lol, your group dps is much higher than the pugs I've been doing it with. Work has been ridiculous the last few months, had to bow out of any statics I might have hoped to join on Leviathan. Just joined a new late night static (late night for them being early morning for me here in London; so I'll get a few hours in before i have to leave for work) so hopefully I can tackle fcob a bit more consistently now.

I'm at a loss to explain it then. I have no issues with tp in that fight. My dps range on kill is 470-490 with a lb3, so maybe I'm not pushing it as hard as I should be. Its either that or the ss.

My opener is:

(LegS)HT > (IR) ID > (BfB) DisemB > (PS) CT > (Jump) Phleb > (DFD) TT > (SSD) VT > (LifeS) FT > (LegS) HT.

This is because I'm always behind the tank and hit as soon as he pulls. I throw in Legsweep first because it's so quick and off GCD that I can use a HT straight after, making it not even slow down my rotation. Also, it's up straight up again at the end just before HT drops off.

I have gotten used to

(PS)HT>(Sweep)>ID>(IR+BFB)>Diss(Pot)>CT(jump)>phleb(DFD)>TT(SSD)>VT(LS)>FT>HT>TT(Sweep)

This has been the only way ive been able to fit all OGCD before FT with a pot, only trick is it can get tricky with lag/ tank doing an awkward pull and which can cause PS to fall off before you jump

Ì have the spear, but i'm missing 3 left side pieces T.T. Totally the opposite.


Hey Dervy! Any news on the new topic? =).


Thanks!

[Dervy]

I've decided remake the topic for the expansion instead, as a guy called Tenshinaito has done an excellent, up-to-date text guide on the Dragoon.

Having said that, I have the template of the next topic already made. Once we get closer to the expansion, or if there are datamined information about the 50-60 job changes in the DX11 Benchmark/beta (YoshiP said there might be one), then I'll post it.

[Shyngo]

oh great! Thanks for sharing that document! Will be put to good use.

Nice, see you are on Behemot! I got the Non-Crafted BiS already, but still need Chest and Feet for Glamour.

Nice to see it on a Highlander. My FC mate got full left side on first or second week, can't remember, but he's Elezen so I saw that I though "Wtf, this set is ridiculous". Guess it was Elezen's fault!

Can't wait to see it on my Midlander. Or in my future Au'ra.
