    Major 7.1 Changes:
    - Nastrond has been reduced to 1 use but giga buffed
    - Starcross has a much longer range
    - Doing Elusive Jump will give you a buff called Enhanced Piercing Talon, which makes your next use of Piercing Talon do increased damage. It's around the damage of Lance Barrage.

    Thanks for the most direct explanation of DRG as yet. I've been muddling through after a long layoff, and now I get what to do; most of the others assume raiding and make it even more complex than it already is...Much appreciated, especially the weaving!

    Haven't played Dragoon since Shadowbringers so this is such a huge help.

      VPR is good to play when my brains on vacation. The biggest reason I like VPR is because my glam for it is immaculate. 3/4 of the scouting glam looks like it was already made for VPR, barely any NIN aesthetics.
      NIN is a good challenge on controller lol.

    Hm. Glad to see this. Main for DRG since I started (though initially my goal was to get to SAM because Cyan Garamonde is one of my favorite characters in the franchise) and I got so worried when Right Eye/Blood of the Dragon was removed... because I didn't realize the Life of the Dragon *damage buff* was a thing.

  • @Simmons101
    @Simmons101 23 дні тому

    I always viewed the rotation for DRG as a figure 8 past around level 80. You do the loop for buff and DOT and then you do damage combo. By the time you hit the top of the combo again it's ready to reapply your buff and DOT.

  • @Clavitz1
    @Clavitz1 5 місяців тому +16

    Been playing DRG since HW and I gotta say, I do like a lot of changes they made with the class BUT....
    I hate the choice for general gap closer they gave. It's not very dragoony. Honestly I dont like what they did with everyone's gap closers that had damage tied to them. the animations are sad.
    anyways, great guides dood. Way better then most guides out there.

    • @stanktatiousd7732
      @stanktatiousd7732 4 місяці тому

      My guess is that they had trouble animating a front flip for DRG. That’s my guess. I doubt very seriously when they were considering DRG gap closer that front flip wasn’t one of, if not the, first idea they had.
      Tbh, I would have rather just got another elusive jump. If I recall, NIN has two free moves (in any direction) so I don’t see why DRG can’t either. Those free moves are life saving

    • @KhajiitMoon
      @KhajiitMoon Місяць тому

      I'm so mad they took away spineshatter dive. Like I'm a dragoon. My function is to jump, not glide. If they wanted to nerf the gap closer damages, they could have left spineshatter and just removed the damage? Would that have been so hard? 😅

    • @adamrussell9573
      @adamrussell9573 2 місяці тому

      Late reply, but dots since endwalker can't crit anymore, so chaos thrust is largely unaffected by battle litany. Depending on team composition and fight, the 3rd gcd is the usual spot for raid buffs. Lance charge (Blood for Blood) DOES affect the dot's damage though, which is probably why it's applied on 2nd gcd

    I will add a disclaimer: Tinctures are not necessary unless you are doing EX/SAV content. If you are new I doubt you have millions to shell away at those things.
    In lieu of that tincture, use True North. You don’t have to use it during your opener but by the time you hit your two-min burst, there are usually mechanics in play that can make positionals either impossible or challenging to meet. Everything else is pretty on point

    I just came back to the game after months away due to not having the extra money. And... I... am not getting this. The old DRG rotation was so smooth with its perfect figure 8 of abilities, and I am tripping all over this new one. After I trigger geirskogul I fumble it up so bad that I don't even get off my last cast of nostrand before the bar empties. And why is mirage dive so late in the rotation? I'm really thinking of retiring DRG over this. I know rotations change with updates, but normally they get a little simpler or more streamlined. Really kinda bummed out by this.
