XHB 1 Single target XHB 2 Multiple target

With the Dawntrail update, a lot of the dragoon actions have been condensed. Try it out!

Finally

this is good. it makes a lot of sense and feeds into the combos. may need to revise it post dawntrail but we'll see what dawntrail brings.

Maybe this hotbar will make me like playing DRG more. I've now come to accept that the AoE combo will have to sit away from the first hotbar.

Note: I haven't really tried this yet. Will update if needed.

I use a mmo gaming mouse from razer called the Naga, the 3x4 grid is the exact layout as my mouse buttons. Hot bar 2 goes like this from left to right, top to bottom: 1, 2, 3, 4, Q, E, R, T, 5, -, =. The - and = are left and right on my mouse wheel, 5 is reserved for long cooldowns. Hot bar 3 is the same as 2 but with shift being held. The empty item between Piercing Talon and Battle Litany is a health Pot.

• Clockwise from True Thrust & Potion, hit R2 ⭘🗙⬜︎🛆 in order, double-weaving the R2→L2 ✜ and R2 ✜ abilities after each.
• After R2 🛆, switch hotbars (R1) and loop R2 🛆⭘🗙⬜︎🛆.
• Double-weave evolved R2 ✜ abilities as they become available.
• Weave Wyrmwind Thrust after each second Raiden Thrust; this may be delayed up to Drakesbane to fit nearby buff windows.
• Continue to use Life Surge on Heaven's Thrust or Drakesbane, checking charges at each High Jump to prevent overcapping.
• Continue to weave all other OGCD's every 30/60/120 seconds, as indicated by their cooldowns.

Modified Opener: These bars pair abilities on R2 ✜ by their cooldown durations, to allow easy double-weaving and identification of when they should be pressed.

Basic DPS rotation with movement skills, a flowchart, and visualized cooldowns. Bars four, five, and six are in the center of my screen so I can easily see cooldowns as well as visualize the flowchart of the typical Dragoon DPS rotation.

Personal Hotbar Setup

Hotbars for Lv60 Dragoon.

Single Target (L)

Mobs (R)

NOTE: The "Stance" key there is for you to replace with your Draught of Strength since I couldn't find the item on this tool.

1 is normally mapped 2 is usually Ctrl + {Number} 3 is usually Shift + {Number} 4 is usually Alt + {Number}

General notes:

• "Main" hotbar is RT
• Frequently used abilities or important ones to use while moving go on the face buttons
• AoE versions of things go on expanded hotbar
• Only using one expanded hotbar so no LT>RT vs. RT>LT confusion during combat
• Infrequently used abilities go on WXHB
• Star button on WXHB is a focus target macro

Sage-specific notes:

• Sage has lots of single-target vs. AoE abilities, so placement on expanded hotbar mirrors this (Dosis/Dyskrasia, Diagonosis/Prognosis, Taurochole/Kerachole, Druochole/Ixochole, Haima/Panhaima)
• Philosophia placement mirrors that of Soteria (LT vs. LT-LT)
• Krasis on d-pad down to make it easy to cycle down to the tank and target them for it (down, down, RT+down)
  • Remember to adjust your party list job priority!
• Zoe and Pneuma next to each other since they usually get used together
• Eukrasia on WXHB is a macro to turn it off
• Speech button on WXHB is a macro to indicate Swiftcast cooldown (i.e., when I will attempt to res again)
