hi
Really nice and straightforward guide, well done
Some small notes to add:
Life Surge can be used on a 5th hit during your 2mn buffs when you either do not have a Heavens' Thrust fall within that buff window, or if a second charge becomes available in the middle of it to let you catch both, it's a slight gain over using it on an unbuffed Heavens' Thrust (More important depending on the number of raid buffs).
When nearing the end of a fight immediately after a burst window, it can be beneficial to wait for your High Jump + Mirage Dive and use your Geirskogul after which can allow you to enter a second life window if the fight will end before you reach your next burst. This can also be helpful when you start an encounter with 1 charge of mirage dive already acquired.
When using Limit Break on Dragoon, you should firstly aim to not delay any of your oGCDs, and secondly you should try to use it after a Chaotic Spring combo if possible, after which you will cycle back into another Chaotic Spring combo.
For gearing up, after taking the highest item level piece available to you, you should aim to avoid the skill speed substat, due to being such an oGCD focused job the reward for taking skill speed over another substat is very tiny, whilst also forcing oGCD drift. However it is still always worth taking higher item level pieces, even if that piece has skill speed.
As per patch 6.3, life surge cooldown is now 40s. This should not affect your rotation.
Thanks! I love watching Dragoon guides
