The Wyrmwind Thrust in the Opener only ends up under Dragon Sight at a GCD shorter than 2.40, so we do not consider this feasible to catch. The order of High Jump, Geirskogul, Spineshatter Dive and Dragonfire Dive is occasionally shuffled around for comfort. Some encounters benefit from a different jump order. Battle Litany is used after our first Chaotic Spring to better align with party raid buffs and for future alignment concerns.The weave slot after Battle Litany can be used to put another oGCD on cooldown faster, however this has a big risk of missing party raid buffs. The Standard Opener will place Spineshatter Dive here since it's our lowest potency oGCD and very flexible. Standard Opener Image 1st GCD Lance Charge The 1st GCD Lance Charge opener will result in a slight gain, since you can hold your Wyrmwind Thrust at 1&5mn to catch an additional use. It is recommended that you use this opener when you are not required to use a Tincture of Strength in the opener, or if your connection allows you to weave a Tincture along with Dragon Sight.

Dragoons repeat a basic GCD rotation throughout a fight that depends on your level: 64-90: - 58-63: -()x2 56-57: -()x2 50-55: -()x3 26-49: -()x4 18-25: -()x6 Refer to the Basic Guide and Leveling Guide for more information about our rotation.

It is much easier to play, more comfortable and will thus likely yield better results in practice. It is also identical to the Reaper BiS. 6.2 Crafted 2.50 General gearing tips: The highest iLvl gear available will in general be the best possible option. Current Raid > Current Tome > Trial > Crafted > Previous tier Focus on buying Tomestone pieces from the BiS first, then exchange everything else that is still below the ilvl of raid gear. Meld priority: Critical Hit > Determination >= Direct Hit > Skill Speed. Determination is optimally 237 higher than Direct Hit. (Tiering matters more than this.)

️ With the addition of Charges to these skills we now want to hold them for buff windows but don't cap on Charges. Spineshatter Dive is held to use both charges during our 2mn buffs. Certain fight timings might force you to start using a charge in your 1mn window again. It is also worth holding for downtime if it saves you any amount of GCD loss that you can't prevent without it. Life Surge will always be used on Heaven's Thrust or a fifth combo hit. A Wheeling Thrust or Fang and Claw as the fifth combo hit with at least two buffs outperforms an unbuffed Heaven's Thrust by a small amount. (They are basically equal) After the cooldown change in 6.3, our standard life surge usage on a 2.5 GCD looks as follows: 0:09 - 0:16 - 1:05 - 1:33 - 2:22 - 3:10 - 4:06 - 4:20 - 5:15 - 6:08 - 6:12 - Here is a short list showing your Life Surge options

️ With a 60s recast on Lance Charge we will ideally delay every life window. The arrangement of Geirskogul and High Jump in the Opener remains this way forever, with every odd landing immediately after or and entering Life. As such, we no longer need to think about early/late life and double life windows are a thing of the past. Because we use before we will generate the following sequence: This makes it so life is 'delayed' because we have 2 eyes and did not go into life with the , it will come back up in 30 seconds allowing us to enter life 30 seconds 'late' putting it under buffs. If a specific fight doesn't allow delayed life windows, we can swap and in the opener. If you still need to delay life for part of the fight you can hold the you get from until you use .

The following image shows a general Dragon Sight priority, this information is based off the listed jobs' single target 0, 2, 4 and 6mn burst windows. Priority does not account for difference in player skill or gear, it is recommended to use TetherCalc after a few pulls when you're not certain. Since buffs are multiplicative, effects such as Dance Partner and Astrologian Cards can affect results. The buff does not apply to your partner's pets or summons, this causes SMN, MCH and DRK to be lower in priority than expected. Dragonsight Priority Infographic
