Dragoon subskills..

[Cronno]

I'm not sure which sub class skills that I should be taking as Dragoon. If anyone could tell me, that'd be great. Thanks.

Internal Release, Mercy Stroke, and Fracture are the most recommended. The rest is kind of up to you. I like to take Second Wind/Foresight.

Okay, thanks a bunch good sir.

Internal release and mercy stroke I can understand. Why fracture, though?

220 potency attack. not bad. i think the dragoon rotation thread came up with it is worth it in times when it will tick all the way (given not by much) but it isnt worth the TP cost, so fights long enough to apply a DoT but short enough where TP wont be an issue

Ah thanks. I should've looked at that thread. I had just leveled my marauder up to 26 last night for mercy stroke. I didn't really find much use for fracture during my tanking experiences (too busy with basic combo and over power spam because too many people are AoE happy in the lower dungeons).

Internal Release, Fracture, Bloodbath and Second Wind.

Fracture + Phlebotomize are just too good and fit in our rotation so well that is almost like Fracture was done for Dragoons, not Warriors.
Bloodbath, with our DPS, allow us to keep the engage even against heavy DoT situtations and relief some of the pressure over our healers. (With internal release we become half inmortal)
Second Wind, just too good to miss, can help you survive several burst attacks over you, is just an emergency button.
I dont think i should explain IR.

One little tip for those that don't know, using Life Surge then Second Wind will make give you a critical heal while allowing you to keep your Life Surge buff. It's saved me several times.

This. I know it's hard to hold off mashing Full Thrust as soon as the GCD is available to see it's pretty numbers, but the patience to let that critical heal happen first makes both your life and that of your healer much better.
