==Lore==
{{Quote|Of all the things that are symbolic of the nation of Ishgard, few are more recognized than the dragoon. Born amidst the timeless conflict between men and dragons, these lance-wielding knights have developed an aerial style of combat, that they might better pierce the scaled hides of their mortal foes. Taking to the firmament as though it were an extension of the land, they descend upon the enemy with every onze of their bodies behind the blow. It is this penetrative power that characterizes the dragoon.|Game Description}}

Midori: /* Multiple Targets (AoE) */

{{See also|Dragoon|Guides}}
==Rotations==
Dragoon, unlike some other [[classes]], does not operate solely on a rotation, instead dragoons operate on a skill priority. This changes vastly over the terms of leveling and this guide assumes the Dragoon is level 50 and in party. The main idea is to keep up your buffs, debuffs and DoTs while still weaving in Jumps and other Cooldowns along with other off the Global Cooldown (GCD) abilities.
===Single Target===
Initial Rotation: [[Heavy Thrust]] -> [[Internal Release]] -> [[Blood for Blood]] -> [[Phlebotomize]] -> [[Leg Sweep]] -> [[Impulse Drive]] -> [[Disembowel]] -> [[Power Surge]] -> [[Chaos Thrust]] -> [[Jump]] -> [[True Thrust]] -> [[Vorpal Thrust]] -> [[Leg Sweep]] -> [[Full Thrust]]

Keep Up: [[Heavy Thrust]] -> [[Phlebotomize]] -> [[Fracture]] -> [[Disembowel]] -> [[Chaos Thrust]]

Combo 1: [[Impulse Drive]] (from rear) -> [[Disembowel]] -> [[Chaos Thrust]]

Combo 2: [[True Thrust]] -> [[Vorpal Thrust]] -> [[Full Thrust]]

Off the GCD: [[Jump]] -> [[Spineshatter Dive]] -> [[Dragonfire Dive]] -> [[Leg Sweep]] -> CD's

*After Initial Rotation, your priority follows the block above, keeping up your buffs, debuffs and DoTs. It means that following Combo 1 to reapply Disembowel and Chaos Thrust. Keep your off GCD abilities on CD. Then when everything is not in jeopardy of falling off, spam Combo 2 for filler.

====Tips and Tricks====
Always Finish Combos. If you start a combo and a buff or Dot falls off. It is more DPS finish the combo then re-apply the DoT. Never break a combo once you have started one.

===Multiple Targets (AoE)===
[[Heavy Thrust]] -> [[Ring of Thorns]] -> [[Dragonfire Dive]] -> [[Doom Spike]] until Heavy Thrust needs refreshing.

*This rotation is only effective in groups of 3 or more mobs. Less than that, single targeting a mob will often prove more useful to a group.
