  1. I know dragoon is a meme but after the buffs it’s factually the best dps in the game. It does less than 200 less dps than black mage and samurai but also brings raid buffs. If you guys are watching this and aren’t sure about dragoon, PICK IT UP

  2. I love BLM because it's BLM and wizard, but I hate using the class because it's worse than trying to calculate the final velocity of a rocket going backwards in space towards the Sirius star system while balancing on a yoga ball and avoiding bullets from a veteran sniper.
    However, whenever I pick up DRG, I always get commendations. I'm a godly DRG.

  5. I only have one question only (i hope he reads this or someone who knows about the class) IT IS WORTH IT??? I mean the rotation looks hard AF to do it 100% optimal. It is worth the trouble or any other class can deal the same or more damage with less effort??

  6. Another option for targeting dragon sight that I find very smooth is using "Set Focus Target" and "Target Current Focus Target" (both of these commands can be binded under System > Keybind > Targeting

    I have Target Focus Target on F, so after setting focus target (I use shift + F) on my tether buttbuddy at the start of the instance, I can use F to target them, dragon sight, and tab back to the boss without dropping gcd! Hope this helps someone

  7. After applying the dot with the chaos thrust combo should I keep rotating to chaos thrust after a full thrust combo even if the dot is already active or do I just keep using full thrust combo until I need to reapply the dot again?
