Dragoon Guide/A Realm Reborn
Rotations
Dragoon, unlike some other classes, does not operate solely on a rotation, instead dragoons operate on a skill priority. This changes vastly over the terms of leveling and this guide assumes the Dragoon is level 50 and in party. The main idea is to keep up your buffs, debuffs and DoTs while still weaving in Jumps and other Cooldowns along with other off the Global Cooldown (GCD) abilities.
Single Target
Initial Rotation: Heavy Thrust -> Internal Release -> Blood for Blood -> Phlebotomize -> Leg Sweep -> Impulse Drive -> Disembowel -> Power Surge -> Chaos Thrust -> Jump -> True Thrust -> Vorpal Thrust -> Leg Sweep -> Full Thrust
Keep Up: Heavy Thrust -> Phlebotomize -> Fracture -> Disembowel -> Chaos Thrust
Combo 1: Impulse Drive (from rear) -> Disembowel -> Chaos Thrust
Combo 2: True Thrust -> Vorpal Thrust -> Full Thrust
Off the GCD: Jump -> Spineshatter Dive -> Dragonfire Dive -> Leg Sweep -> CD's
- After Initial Rotation, your priority follows the block above, keeping up your buffs, debuffs and DoTs. It means that following Combo 1 to reapply Disembowel and Chaos Thrust. Keep your off GCD abilities on CD. Then when everything is not in jeopardy of falling off, spam Combo 2 for filler.
Tips and Tricks
Always Finish Combos. If you start a combo and a buff or Dot falls off. It is more DPS finish the combo then re-apply the DoT. Never break a combo once you have started one.
Multiple Targets (AoE)
Doom Spike -> Dragonfire Dive -> Heavy Thrust -> Ring of Thorns
- This rotation is only effective in groups of 5 or more mobs. Less than that, single targeting a mob will often prove more useful to a group.
