{{Quote|The pious Ishgardian clergy guide the flock, and the devout knights protect the weak. Yet even the holiest of men succumb to the darkest of temptations. None dare to administer justice to these sacrosanct elite residing outside the reach of the law. Who, then, defends the feeble from the transgressions of those meant to guide and protect them? A valiant few take up arms to defend the downtrodden, and not even the holy priests and knights can escape their judgment. Pariahs in their own land, they are known by many as “dark knights.” These sentinels bear no shields declaring their allegiance. Instead, their greatswords act as beacons to guide the meek through darkness.| Game Description}}

==General Information==
[[Dark Knight]] is a Tank [[Jobs|job]] that wields a [[Greatsword]] (2-handed sword) as its [[weapon]]. Unlike 2.0 jobs, Dark Knight does not have a base [[Classes|class]] and starts from level 30. It was released in the first expansion pack, [[Heavensward]], in June 2015.

There is no physical guild building for the Dark Knights. After following the first few quests of the job's storyline, Dark Knights receive their job-advancement quests through an [[NPC]] located in the Ishgard Inn, [[The Forgotten Knight]].

==Play Style==
As a tank, the Dark Knight focuses mainly on getting aggro and keeping it. The job is especially known for its ability to mitigate magic damage through [[Dark Mind]], and can frequently be seen in higher-level raids where the boss deals a lot of it. They can function as off-tanks relatively well given their potential damage output.

The main mechanic Dark Knights will have to deal with is MP management. While under the effects of [[Darkside]], MP is drained at a constant rate, so the player will have to juggle between using skills that require MP and those that recover it in order to maximize their effectiveness.

==Requirements==
*[[Heavensward]]
*Access to [[Ishgard]], where [[guilds|Dark Knight's quests]] are located.
*Complete the quest [[Our End]] (started from NPC in [[The Pillars]] at (x12, y8)).

[[Alexander - The Eyes of the Creator (Savage)]] or '''A9S''' is the ninth floor in Alexander, Heavensward's 8-man raid. It currently has a default [[Echo]] level of 15%.

==Lore==
None can deny the wandering minstrel's inimitable way with words, nor the manner in which his penchant for embellishment and exaggeration has rendered your triumph over the primal Alexander all the more triumphant─and the insurmountable odds over which you did prevail all the more insurmountable. Reach back into your memory and relive your adventure inside the steel giant as it will live on in the hearts and minds of all who hear the tale!

==Strategy==

===Faust===
This is a DPS check.

Alexander - The Soul of the Creator

2017-04-18T14:42:35Z

Popowudu:

{{see also|Alexander: The Creator|Alexander - The Soul of the Creator (Savage)}}
[[Alexander - The Soul of the Creator]] or '''A12''' is the final Alexander raid in [[Heavensward]].

==Lore==
As the crystalline heart of the primal swells ever greater, its thirst for power unquenchable, your only hope lies in calling upon the knowledge of the ''Enigma Codex'' to cut off the flow of aether to the colossus's core. So it is that you and your companions must make a final, brave foray into the belly of the great steel beast. Yet your path will not be an easy one, for the Illuminati mastermind Quickthinx has promised that your next journey to the core will be your last. Who will be judged worthy of inheriting the future, and who will be cast aside as a forgotten afterthought to history? Your final confrontation with the Illuminati is at hand!

==Strategy==
{{#ev:youtube|T_t0p4Aissc|400|right|Video Guide}}

Alexander Prime has a considerable arsenal consisting of several different attacks.

'''Sacrament:'''
This attack can be recognized by it's large white-blue preparation. Avoiding this can be tricky at first, so if you're not sure where to go, keep watch for where your party went. This can be especially difficult to avoid later in the fight when combined with another AoE being active. Make sure you don't lose track of the boss while under the effects of Temporal Stasis, as he may teleport out of your sight and begin using Sacrament while you cannot see him. This can lead to you, or others in your party being distracted with dodging Gravitational Anomaly.

==Loot==
*[[Toy Alexander]]
*[[Alexander Prime card]]
*[[Tarnished Alexandrian Crank|Tarnished Alexandrian Crank (Hands)]]
*[[Tarnished Alexandrian Spring|Tarnished Alexandrian Spring (Legs)]]
*[[Tarnished Alexandrian Shaft|Tarnished Alexandrian Shaft (Body)]]

==Lore==
Roundrox remains in dire straits, and soon the Illuminati will have all they need to rewrite history in their twisted image. As the black ink of fate is pressed to parchment, it is up to the Warrior of Light to wrestle the pen from the clutches of evil. Thus does our brave hero journey once more unto the breach, to discover what secrets lie at the heart of Alexander, and prove the would-be goblin prophet false.

==Lore==
Roundrox remains in dire straits, and soon the Illuminati will have all they need to rewrite history in their twisted image. As the black ink of fate is pressed to parchment, it is up to the Warrior of Light to wrestle the pen from the clutches of evil. Thus does our brave hero journey once more unto the breach, to discover what secrets lie at the heart of Alexander, and prove the would-be goblin prophet false.

==Lore==
Roundrox remains in dire straits, and soon the Illuminati will have all they need to rewrite history in their twisted image. As the black ink of fate is pressed to parchment, it is up to the Warrior of Light to wrestle the pen from the clutches of evil. Thus does our brave hero journey once more unto the breach, to discover what secrets lie at the heart of Alexander, and prove the would-be goblin prophet false.

The following 3 quests need to be completed in order, for each relic, and are job-specific. However, you can work on multiple relics at one time. An example is picking up [[File:Sidequest.png|15px|link=|Side Quest]] [[Soul Without Life]] on your PLD, whilst working on [[File:Sidequest.png|15px|link=|Side Quest]] [[Coming into Its Own]] for your WAR.

'''Notes:'''
*Luminous Crystals can drop from '''any''' [[FATE]] in that zone, but you must complete them with a '''Gold''' Rating. It is completely random: you may get 3 Luminous Crystals in the space of an hour or just 1 Luminous Crystal after three days.
**Before Patch 3.57, the drop rate appeared to be approximately 20%. The patch, however, buffed it even higher than that.
**Being in a [[party]] or having your [[Chocobo]] out has no effect on the drop rate.
***Being able to finish [[FATE]]s faster, however, will allow for more chances in the same amount of time.
*The only mandatory requirement is that you '''must''' have an active "Soul Without Life" quest in order for Luminous Crystals to appear. You can choose to be on any [[job]] or use any [[weapon]] you like.
** This is a good opportunity for you to train your [[Chocobo]] or another [[job]] if you wish, and also to collect the [[Grand Company]] Seals used to acquire items for the [[Anima_Weapons/Quest#Coming_into_Its_Own|Coming into Its Own]] phase of the Anima Weapon arc.
*When Luminous Crystals do drop, you will be alerted in-game by a popup.
*The Luminous Crystals go into your normal inventory rather than your Key Item inventory. Make sure you have free space in your inventory.
*You do not need to stay for the entire length of the [[FATE]], but only successfully completed [[FATE]]s with at least a Gold Rating will drop Luminous Crystals.
*Use of the [[Party Finder]] is recommended to quickly group with other players.
*A [[Chocobo Companion]] can be used to make the battle easier.

'''Notes:'''
* As with the '''Soul Without Life''' phase, most of this phase can be completed as any class or job. Whilst relatively slow, completing Vanu Vanu and Vath Beast Tribe Quests is a reliable way to bring in 1 token per day (slightly more if starting from minimum rank, due to bonus jobs from rank up) along with XP for any Lv50-59 class/job, or Tomestones of Lore (from Vanu Vanu) for Lv60 classes/jobs.
* All of the tokens required (whether Unidentifiable Objects, or crafted/company seal items) can be acquired ''before'' this quest is actually available, though Cristiana will not appear until this quest has been started. Stockpiled Tomestones of Poetics are also useful. Running FATEs for the elemental crystals will generate a '''lot''' of company seals unless you are ''extremely'' lucky.

'''Notes:'''
*Luminous Crystals can drop from '''any''' [[FATE]] in that zone, but you must complete them with a '''Gold''' Rating. It is completely random: you may get 3 Luminous Crystals in the space of an hour or just 1 Luminous Crystal after three days.
**Before Patch 3.57, the drop rate appeared to be approximately 20%. The patch, however, buffed it even higher than that.
**Being in a [[party]] or having your [[Chocobo]] out has no effect on the suggested 10% chance of drop.
***Being able to finish [[FATE]]s faster, however, will allow for more chances in the same amount of time.
*The only mandatory requirement is that you '''must''' have an active "Soul Without Life" quest in order for Luminous Crystals to appear. You can choose to be on any [[job]] or use any [[weapon]] you like.
** This is a good opportunity for you to train your [[Chocobo]] or another [[job]] if you wish, and also to collect the [[Grand Company]] Seals used to acquire items for the [[Anima_Weapons/Quest#Coming_into_Its_Own|Coming into Its Own]] phase of the Anima Weapon arc.
*When Luminous Crystals do drop, you will be alerted in-game by a popup.
*The Luminous Crystals go into your normal inventory rather than your Key Item inventory. Make sure you have free space in your inventory.
*You do not need to stay for the entire length of the [[FATE]], but only successfully completed [[FATE]]s with at least a Gold Rating will drop Luminous Crystals.
*Use of the [[Party Finder]] is recommended to quickly group with other players.
*A [[Chocobo Companion]] can be used to make the battle easier.

'''Notes:'''
* As with the '''Soul Without Life''' phase, most of this phase can be completed as any class or job. Whilst relatively slow, completing Vanu Vanu and Vath Beast Tribe Quests is a reliable way to bring in 1 token per day (slightly more if starting from minimum rank, due to bonus jobs from rank up) along with XP for any Lv50-59 class/job, or Tomestones of Lore (from Vanu Vanu) for Lv60 classes/jobs.
* All of the tokens required (whether Unidentifiable Objects, or crafted/company seal items) can be acquired ''before'' this quest is actually available, though Cristiana will not appear until this quest has been started. Stockpiled Tomestones of Poetics are also useful. Running FATEs for the elemental crystals will generate a '''lot''' of company seals unless you are ''extremely'' lucky.

==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}}

==General Information==
[[Dragoon]] is a polearm-wielding [[jobs|job]] that specializes in [[polearms|lances]], leaps, and a piercing style of combat. They evolve from the [[classes|class]] [[lancer]].

They can also use all the cross-class abilities of [[marauder]] and [[pugilist]]. The most important [[attributes|stat]] for the dragoon is [[strength]], which increases [[Attack Power|attack power]]. The level of your Dragoon is equivalent to that of your Lancer.

==Requirements==
* Level 30 [[Lancer]]

==[[Dragoon Guide]]==

===Basic Tips===
Dragoons of all levels will want to keep a few basic tips about their skills in mind to help maximize DPS.

[[Heavy Thrust]]: Keep this buff up at all times; it's basically a free Raging Strikes. It should always be the first thing you use. If you can tell that it's going to fall off in the middle of a combo, use it again before starting that combo. Remember to use this from the enemy's flank.

GCDs: Until you get to level 26 and unlock [[Full Thrust]], you should be using Impulse Drive all the time and never True Thrust/Vorpal Thrust, since it does more potency on average. But after level 26, Impulse Drive always does less than your Full Thrust combo. Once you get [[Disembowel]], you can start alternating between combos.

[[Feint]]: Feint is, in 99% of PvE cases, not helpful. You can get by perfectly well while ignoring the fact that this weaponskill exists.

[[Keen Flurry]]: As Dragoons aren't the ones taking most of the damage, you won't be using this skill too often. At lower levels, if you happen to rip aggro on a boss from a tank, it can help out a bit.

[[Piercing Talon]]: Later on, this becomes a pretty big TP hog. However, in boss fights when you find yourself having to get far away from the boss, throwing one or two in usually can't hurt.

===Recommended Cross-Class Actions===
[[Internal Release]] is the most important of the cross-class actions for a Dragoon to take, as it is the biggest increase in damage available. [[Mercy Stroke]] will also give you some free extra damage near the end of a boss. These are the two actions you always want to have on your hotbar.

The other three choices are mainly a matter of preference, though [[Featherfoot]] and [[Haymaker]] aren't worth it, even together, and neither [[Fracture]] nor [[Skull Sunder]] will never be better than the other tools in your arsenal. Some like taking [[Foresight]] or [[Bloodbath]] for a little bit of extra defense, while others prefer [[Second Wind]] for a quick insta-heal or [[Mantra]] for party support. None of these are totally required, though.

===Endgame Skill Speed===
[[Skill speed]] is an important stat for a Dragoon to work around when gearing up for the endgame. Ideally, you want your GCD to be anywhere between 2.38 and 2.41 seconds long. This range has to do with both the timing of [[Geirskogul]]s and whether or not you're clipping DoTs vs. letting them fall off. This GCD range equates to anywhere from 590 to 652 skill speed.

===Endgame Rotations===
Your most basic rotation looks like this:

[[file: Heavy thrust.png|link=Heavy Thrust]] --> [[file: Impulse drive.png|link=Impulse Drive]] --> [[file: Disembowel.png|link=Disembowel]] --> [[file: Chaos thrust.png|link=Chaos Thrust]] --> [[file:fang and claw icon1.png|link=Fang and Claw]] or [[file:wheeling thrust icon1.png|link=Wheeling Thrust]] --> [[file: phlebotomize.png|link=Phlebotomize]] --> [[file: true thrust.png|link=True Thrust]] --> [[file: Vorpal thrust.png|link=Vorpal Thrust]] --> [[file: Full thrust.png|link=Full Thrust]] --> [[file:fang and claw icon1.png|link=Fang and Claw]] or [[file:wheeling thrust icon1.png|link=Wheeling Thrust]]

Essentially, you alternate between Heavy Thrust/Chaos Thrust combo and Phlebotomize/Full Thrust combo, weaving in off-GCDs between. Should [[Blood of the Dragon]] ever fall off, you can revert to the old 2.0 rotation (nicknamed by some the "rotation of shame") until it comes back up. Instead of going back and forth, you'll be doing Chaos Thrust combo -> Full Thrust combo x2 -> repeat, while alternating Heavy Thrust and Phlebotomize every combo.

====Opener (without potion)====

[[file: Heavy thrust.png|link=Heavy Thrust]] --> [[file:battle litany icon1.png|link=Battle Litany]] --> [[file: Impulse drive.png|link=Impulse Drive]] --> [[file: Blood for blood.png|link=Blood for Blood]] [[file:internal release.png|link=Internal Release]] --> [[file: Disembowel.png|link=Disembowel]] --> [[file: Leg sweep.png|link=Leg Sweep]] [[file:blood of the dragon icon1.png|link=Blood of the Dragon]] --> [[file: Chaos thrust.png|link=Chaos Thrust]] --> [[File:power surge.png|link=Power Surge]] --> [[file:fang and claw icon1.png|link=Fang and Claw]] or [[file:wheeling thrust icon1.png|link=Wheeling Thrust]] --> [[file:jump.png|link=Jump]] --> [[file: phlebotomize.png|link=Phlebotomize]] --> [[file: dragonfire dive.png|link=Dragonfire Dive]] --> [[file: true thrust.png|link=True Thrust]] --> [[file:spineshatter dive.png|link=Spineshatter Dive]] --> [[file: Vorpal thrust.png|link=Vorpal Thrust]] --> [[file: Life surge.png|link=Life Surge]] --> [[file:Geirskogul icon1.png|link=Geirskogul]] --> [[file: Full thrust.png|link=Full Thrust]] --> [[file:fang and claw icon1.png|link=Fang and Claw]] or [[file:wheeling thrust icon1.png|link=Wheeling Thrust]]

====AOE Rotation====

[[file: Heavy thrust.png|link=Heavy Thrust]] --> [[file: Ring of thorns.png|link=Ring of Thorns]] --> [[file: Doom spike.png|link=Doom Spike]] x many

Only use your AOE rotation when there are 3 or more mobs, otherwise use your single-target rotation. Doom Spike has a larger AOE than you might realize, but it may still be difficult to line up the enemies; Ring of Thorns is good in those cases. Keep Heavy Thrust up throughout, remember to use [[Invigorate]], and weave in off-GCDs as you go.

===General Endgame Tips===

Dragoons and TP: Another reason for the soft skill speed "cap" is that higher skill speed drains your TP more quickly. Be sure to use [[Invigorate]] as soon as you see your TP bar dip below 500 so that you have it up again as soon as possible.

[[Battle Litany]]: These buffs don't stack, so if you have another Dragoon in the party, be sure to ask them if they want first or second. That way, you can have this buff up for double its duration by using them back to back.

[[Geirskogul]]: A good way to figure out if you have enough uptime left on [[Blood of the Dragon]] to use Geirskogul is to find out your threshold--how low the timer can be right after using [[Fang and Claw]]/[[Wheeling Thrust]]. At 2.38s GCD, that threshold is 21 seconds. It will be higher the less skill speed you have, so be careful. Also, if [[Blood of the Dragon]] (the skill) is about to come back up, you can freely spend a Geirskogul one off-GCD before using BotD again. A lot of Geirskogul usage technique has to do with learning fights well enough to know when you may want to save Geirskogul or manipulate the BotD in a certain way.

[[Blood for Blood]] and [[Chaos Thrust]]: Try to make sure you have the first up for the second, as Chaos Thrust's damage over time effect makes up a large portion of your damage. It's hard for them to miss each other unless you use Blood for Blood literally right after Chaos Thrust, so try not to do that.

[[Power Surge]]: Always pair Power Surge with [[Jump]], since it has more potency than [[Spineshatter Dive]]. Ideally, every sixty seconds you want to use the two in back-to-back off-GCDs.

[[Life Surge]]: You don't need to wait to always use this on [[Full Thrust]]. If it's up and you're about to use Fang and Claw or Wheeling Thrust, and you know you'll be able to hit the positional on it, go ahead and use Life Surge--you're actually losing DPS by saving it for later.

==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}}

==General Information==

They can also use all the cross-class abilities of [[marauder]] and [[pugilist]]. The most important [[attributes|stat]] for the dragoon is [[strength]], which increases [[Attack Power|attack power]]. The level of your Dragoon is equivalent to that of your Lancer.

This range has to do with both the timing of [[Geirskogul]]s and whether or not you're clipping DoTs vs. letting them fall off. This GCD range equates to anywhere from 590 to 652 skill speed.

===Endgame Rotations===
Your most basic rotation looks like this:

[[file: Heavy thrust.png|link=Heavy Thrust]] --> [[file: Impulse drive.png|link=Impulse Drive]] --> [[file: Disembowel.png|link=Disembowel]] --> [[file: Chaos thrust.png|link=Chaos Thrust]] --> [[file:fang and claw icon1.png|link=Fang and Claw]] or [[file:wheeling thrust icon1.png|link=Wheeling Thrust]] --> [[file: phlebotomize.png|link=Phlebotomize]] --> [[file: true thrust.png|link=True Thrust]] --> [[file: Vorpal thrust.png|link=Vorpal Thrust]] --> [[file: Full thrust.png|link=Full Thrust]] --> [[file:fang and claw icon1.png|link=Fang and Claw]] or [[file:wheeling thrust icon1.png|link=Wheeling Thrust]]

Essentially, you alternate between Heavy Thrust/Chaos Thrust combo and Phlebotomize/Full Thrust combo, weaving in off-GCDs between. Should [[Blood of the Dragon]] ever fall off, you can revert to the old 2.0 rotation (nicknamed by some the "rotation of shame") until it comes back up. Instead of going back and forth, you'll be doing Chaos Thrust combo -> Full Thrust combo x2 -> repeat, while alternating Heavy Thrust and Phlebotomize every combo.

====AOE Rotation====

[[file: Heavy thrust.png|link=Heavy Thrust]] --> [[file: Ring of thorns.png|link=Ring of Thorns]] --> [[file: Doom spike.png|link=Doom Spike]] x many

Only use your AOE rotation when there are 3 or more mobs, otherwise use your single-target rotation. Doom Spike has a larger AOE than you might realize, but it may still be difficult to line up the enemies; Ring of Thorns is good in those cases. Keep Heavy Thrust up throughout, remember to use [[Invigorate]], and weave in off-GCDs as you go.

===General Endgame Tips===

Dragoons and TP: Another reason for the soft skill speed "cap" is that higher skill speed drains your TP more quickly. Be sure to use [[Invigorate]] as soon as you see your TP bar dip below 500 so that you have it up again as soon as possible.

[[Battle Litany]]: These buffs don't stack, so if you have another Dragoon in the party, be sure to ask them if they want first or second. That way, you can have this buff up for double its duration by using them back to back.

[[Geirskogul]]: A good way to figure out if you have enough uptime left on [[Blood of the Dragon]] to use Geirskogul is to find out your threshold--how low the timer can be right after using [[Fang and Claw]]/[[Wheeling Thrust]]. At 2.38s GCD, that threshold is 21 seconds. It will be higher the less skill speed you have, so be careful. Also, if [[Blood of the Dragon]] (the skill) is about to come back up, you can freely spend a Geirskogul one off-GCD before using BotD again. A lot of Geirskogul usage technique has to do with learning fights well enough to know when you may want to save Geirskogul or manipulate the BotD in a certain way.

[[Blood for Blood]] and [[Chaos Thrust]]: Try to make sure you have the first up for the second, as Chaos Thrust's damage over time effect makes up a large portion of your damage. It's hard for them to miss each other unless you use Blood for Blood literally right after Chaos Thrust, so try not to do that.

[[Power Surge]]: Always pair Power Surge with [[Jump]], since it has more potency than [[Spineshatter Dive]]. Ideally, every sixty seconds you want to use the two in back-to-back off-GCDs.

[[Life Surge]]: You don't need to wait to always use this on [[Full Thrust]]. If it's up and you're about to use Fang and Claw or Wheeling Thrust, and you know you'll be able to hit the positional on it, go ahead and use Life Surge--you're actually losing DPS by saving it for later.

==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}}

==General Information==
[[Dragoon]] is a polearm-wielding [[jobs|job]] that specializes in [[polearms|lances]], leaps, and a piercing style of combat. They evolve from the [[classes|class]] [[lancer]]. It is a melee damage dealing class specializing in single target dps. Dragoons have all the [[Lancer Actions|abilities]] and [[Lancer Traits|traits]] of [[Lancer]]s. They can also use all the cross-class abilities of [[marauder]] and [[pugilist]]. The most important [[attributes|stat]] for the dragoon is [[strength]], which increases [[Attack Power|attack power]]. The level of your Dragoon is equivalent to that of your Lancer.

==Requirements==
* Level 30 [[Lancer]]
* Level 15 [[Marauder]]

==[[Dragoon Guide]]==

===Basic Tips===
Dragoons of all levels will want to keep a few basic tips about their skills in mind to help maximize DPS.

[[Heavy Thrust]]: Keep this buff up at all times; it's basically a free Raging Strikes. It should always be the first thing you use. If you can tell that it's going to fall off in the middle of a combo, use it again before starting that combo. Remember to use this from the enemy's flank.

GCDs: Until you get to level 26 and unlock [[Full Thrust]], you should be using Impulse Drive all the time and never True Thrust/Vorpal Thrust, since it does more potency on average. But after level 26, Impulse Drive always does less than your Full Thrust combo. Once you get [[Disembowel]], you can start alternating between combos.

[[Feint]]: Feint is, in 99% of PvE cases, not helpful. You can get by perfectly well by ignoring the fact that this weaponskill exists.

[[Keen Flurry]]: As Dragoons aren't the ones taking most of the damage, you won't be using this skill too often. At lower levels, if you happen to rip aggro on a boss from a tank, it can help out a bit.

[[Piercing Talon]]: Later on, this becomes a pretty big TP hog. However, in boss fights when you find yourself having to get far away from the boss, throwing one or two in usually can't hurt.

===Recommended Cross-Class Actions===
[[Internal Release]] is the most important of the cross-class actions for a Dragoon to take, as it is the biggest increase in damage available. [[Mercy Stroke]] will also give you some free extra damage near the end of a boss. These are the two actions you always want to have on your hotbar.

The other three choices are mainly a matter of preference, though [[Featherfoot]] and [[Haymaker]] aren't worth it, even together, and neither [[Fracture]] nor [[Skull Sunder]] will never be better than the other tools in your arsenal. Some like taking [[Foresight]] or [[Bloodbath]] for a little bit of extra defense, while others prefer [[Second Wind]] for a quick insta-heal or [[Mantra]] for party support. None of these are totally required, though.

===Endgame Skill Speed===
[[Skill speed]] is an important stat for a Dragoon to work around when gearing up for the endgame. Ideally, you want your GCD to be anywhere between 2.38 and 2.41 seconds long. This range has to do with both the timing of [[Geirskogul]]s and whether or not you're clipping DoTs vs. letting them fall off. This GCD range equates to anywhere from 590 to 652 skill speed.

===Endgame Rotations===
Your most basic rotation looks like this:

[[file: Heavy thrust.png|link=Heavy Thrust]] --> [[file: Impulse drive.png|link=Impulse Drive]] --> [[file: Disembowel.png|link=Disembowel]] --> [[file: Chaos thrust.png|link=Chaos Thrust]] --> [[file:fang and claw icon1.png|link=Fang and Claw]] or [[file:wheeling thrust icon1.png|link=Wheeling Thrust]] --> [[file: phlebotomize.png|link=Phlebotomize]] --> [[file: true thrust.png|link=True Thrust]] --> [[file: Vorpal thrust.png|link=Vorpal Thrust]] --> [[file: Full thrust.png|link=Full Thrust]] --> [[file:fang and claw icon1.png|link=Fang and Claw]] or [[file:wheeling thrust icon1.png|link=Wheeling Thrust]]

Essentially, you alternate between Heavy Thrust/Chaos Thrust combo and Phlebotomize/Full Thrust combo, weaving in off-GCDs between. Should [[Blood of the Dragon]] ever fall off, you can revert to the old 2.0 rotation (nicknamed by some the "rotation of shame") until it comes back up. Instead of going back and forth, you'll be doing Chaos Thrust combo -> Full Thrust combo x2 -> repeat, while alternating Heavy Thrust and Phlebotomize every combo.

==[[Dragoon Guide]]==

===Basic Tips===
Dragoons of all levels will want to keep a few basic tips about their skills in mind to help maximize DPS.

[[Heavy Thrust]]: Keep this buff up at all times; it's basically a free Raging Strikes. It should always be the first thing you use. If you can tell that it's going to fall off in the middle of a combo, use it again before starting that combo. Remember to use this from the enemy's flank.

GCDs: Until you get to level 26 and unlock [[Full Thrust]], you should be using Impulse Drive all the time and never True Thrust/Vorpal Thrust, since it does more potency on average. But after level 26, Impulse Drive always does less than your Full Thrust combo. Once you get [[Disembowel]], you can start alternating between combos.

[[Feint]]: Feint is, in 99% of PvE cases, not helpful. You can get by perfectly well by ignoring the fact that this weaponskill exists.

[[Keen Flurry]]: As Dragoons aren't the ones taking most of the damage, you won't be using this skill too often. At lower levels, if you happen to rip aggro on a boss from a tank, it can help out a bit.

[[Piercing Talon]]: Later on, this becomes a pretty big TP hog. However, in boss fights when you find yourself having to get far away from the boss, throwing one or two in usually can't hurt.

===Recommended Cross-Class Actions===
[[Internal Release]] is the most important of the cross-class actions for a Dragoon to take, as it is the biggest increase in damage available. [[Mercy Stroke]] will also give you some free extra damage near the end of a boss. These are the two actions you always want to have on your hotbar.

The other three choices are mainly a matter of preference, though [[Featherfoot]] and [[Haymaker]] aren't worth it, even together, and neither [[Fracture]] nor [[Skull Sunder]] will never be better than the other tools in your arsenal. Some like taking [[Foresight]] or [[Bloodbath]] for a little bit of extra defense, while others prefer [[Second Wind]] for a quick insta-heal or [[Mantra]] for party support. None of these are totally required, though.

===Endgame Skill Speed===
[[Skill speed]] is an important stat for a Dragoon to work around when gearing up for the endgame. Ideally, you want your GCD to be anywhere between 2.38 and 2.41 seconds long. This range has to do with both the timing of [[Geirskogul]]s and whether or not you're clipping DoTs vs. letting them fall off. This GCD range equates to anywhere from 590 to 652 skill speed.

===Endgame Rotations===
Your most basic rotation looks like this:

[[file: Heavy thrust.png|link=Heavy Thrust]] --> [[file: Impulse drive.png|link=Impulse Drive]] --> [[file: Disembowel.png|link=Disembowel]] --> [[file: Chaos thrust.png|link=Chaos Thrust]] --> [[file:fang and claw icon1.png|link=Fang and Claw]] or [[file:wheeling thrust icon1.png|link=Wheeling Thrust]] --> [[file: phlebotomize.png|link=Phlebotomize]] --> [[file: true thrust.png|link=True Thrust]] --> [[file: Vorpal thrust.png|link=Vorpal Thrust]] --> [[file: Full thrust.png|link=Full Thrust]] --> [[file:fang and claw icon1.png|link=Fang and Claw]] or [[file:wheeling thrust icon1.png|link=Wheeling Thrust]]

Essentially, you alternate between Heavy Thrust/Chaos Thrust combo and Phlebotomize/Full Thrust combo, weaving in off-GCDs between. Should [[Blood of the Dragon]] ever fall off, you can revert to the old 2.0 rotation (nicknamed by some the "rotation of shame") until it comes back up. Instead of going back and forth, you'll be doing Chaos Thrust combo -> Full Thrust combo x2 -> repeat, while alternating Heavy Thrust and Phlebotomize every combo.

====Opener (without potion)====

[[file: Heavy thrust.png|link=Heavy Thrust]] --> [[file:battle litany icon1.png|link=Battle Litany]] --> [[file: Impulse drive.png|link=Impulse Drive]] --> [[file: Blood for blood.png|link=Blood for Blood]] [[file:internal release.png|link=Internal Release]] --> [[file: Disembowel.png|link=Disembowel]] --> [[file: Leg sweep.png|link=Leg Sweep]] [[file:blood of the dragon icon1.png|link=Blood of the Dragon]] --> [[file: Chaos thrust.png|link=Chaos Thrust]] --> [[File:power surge.png|link=Power Surge]] --> [[file:fang and claw icon1.png|link=Fang and Claw]] or [[file:wheeling thrust icon1.png|link=Wheeling Thrust]] --> [[file:jump.png|link=Jump]] --> [[file: phlebotomize.png|link=Phlebotomize]] --> [[file: dragonfire dive.png|link=Dragonfire Dive]] --> [[file: true thrust.png|link=True Thrust]] --> [[file:spineshatter dive.png|link=Spineshatter Dive]] --> [[file: Vorpal thrust.png|link=Vorpal Thrust]] --> [[file: Life surge.png|link=Life Surge]] --> [[file:Geirskogul icon1.png|link=Geirskogul]] --> [[file: Full thrust.png|link=Full Thrust]] --> [[file:fang and claw icon1.png|link=Fang and Claw]] or [[file:wheeling thrust icon1.png|link=Wheeling Thrust]]

====AOE Rotation====

[[file: Heavy thrust.png|link=Heavy Thrust]] --> [[file: Ring of thorns.png|link=Ring of thorns]] --> [[file: Doomspike.png|link=Doomspike]] x many

Only use your AOE rotation when there are 3 or more mobs, otherwise use your single-target rotation. Doomspike has a larger AOE than you might realize, but it may still be difficult to line up the enemies; Ring of Thorns is good in those cases. Keep Heavy Thrust up throughout, remember to use [[Invigorate]], and weave in off-GCDs as you go.

===General Endgame Tips===

Dragoons and TP: Another reason for the soft skill speed "cap" is that higher skill speed drains your TP more quickly. Be sure to use [[Invigorate]] as soon as you see your TP bar dip below 500 so that you have it up again as soon as possible.

[[Battle Litany]]: These buffs don't stack, so if you have another Dragoon in the party, be sure to ask them if they want first or second. That way, you can have this buff up for double its duration by using them back to back.

[[Geirskogul]]: A good way to figure out if you have enough uptime left on [[Blood of the Dragon]] to use Geirskogul is to find out your threshold--how low the timer can be right after using [[Fang and Claw]]/[[Wheeling Thrust]]. At 2.38s GCD, that threshold is 21 seconds. It will be higher the less skill speed you have, so be careful. Also, if [[Blood of the Dragon]] (the skill) is about to come back up, you can freely spend a Geirskogul one off-GCD before using BotD again. A lot of Geirskogul usage technique has to do with learning fights well enough to know when you may want to save Geirskogul or manipulate the BotD in a certain way.

[[Blood for Blood]] and [[Chaos Thrust]]: Try to make sure you have the first up for the second, as Chaos Thrust's damage over time effect makes up a large portion of your damage. It's hard for them to miss each other unless you use Blood for Blood literally right after Chaos Thrust, so try not to do that.

[[Power Surge]]: Always pair Power Surge with [[Jump]], since it has more potency than [[Spineshatter Dive]]. Ideally, every sixty seconds you want to use the two in back-to-back off-GCDs.

[[Life Surge]]: You don't need to wait to always use this on [[Full Thrust]]. If it's up and you're about to use Fang and Claw or Wheeling Thrust, and you know you'll be able to hit the positional on it, go ahead and use Life Surge--you're actually losing DPS by saving it for later.

==[[Dragoon Guide]]==

===Basic Tips===
Dragoons of all levels will want to keep a few basic tips about their skills in mind to help maximize DPS.

[[Heavy Thrust]]: Keep this buff up at all times; it's basically a free Raging Strikes. It should always be the first thing you use. If you can tell that it's going to fall off in the middle of a combo, use it again before starting that combo. Remember to use this from the enemy's flank.

GCDs: Until you get to level 26 and unlock [[Full Thrust]], you should be using Impulse Drive all the time and never True Thrust/Vorpal Thrust, since it does more potency on average. But after level 26, Impulse Drive always does less than your Full Thrust combo. Once you get [[Disembowel]], you can start alternating between combos.

[[Feint]]: Feint is, in 99% of PvE cases, not helpful. You can get by perfectly well by ignoring the fact that this weaponskill exists.

[[Keen Flurry]]: As Dragoons aren't the ones taking most of the damage, you won't be using this skill too often. At lower levels, if you happen to rip aggro on a boss from a tank, it can help out a bit.

[[Piercing Talon]]: Later on, this becomes a pretty big TP hog. However, in boss fights when you find yourself having to get far away from the boss, throwing one or two in usually can't hurt.

===Recommended Cross-Class Actions===
[[Internal Release]] is the most important of the cross-class actions for a Dragoon to take, as it is the biggest increase in damage available. [[Mercy Stroke]] will also give you some free extra damage near the end of a boss. These are the two actions you always want to have on your hotbar.

The other three choices are mainly a matter of preference, though [[Featherfoot]] and [[Haymaker]] aren't worth it, even together, and neither [[Fracture]] nor [[Skull Sunder]] will never be better than the other tools in your arsenal. Some like taking [[Foresight]] or [[Bloodbath]] for a little bit of extra defense, while others prefer [[Second Wind]] for a quick insta-heal or [[Mantra]] for party support. None of these are totally required, though.

===Endgame Skill Speed===
[[Skill speed]] is an important stat for a Dragoon to work around when gearing up for the endgame. Ideally, you want your GCD to be anywhere between 2.38 and 2.41 seconds long. This range has to do with both the timing of [[Geirskogul]]s and whether or not you're clipping DoTs vs. letting them fall off. This GCD range equates to anywhere from 590 to 652 skill speed.

===Endgame Rotations===
Your most basic rotation looks like this:

[[file: Heavy thrust.png|link=Heavy Thrust]] --> [[file: Impulse drive.png|link=Impulse Drive]] --> [[file: Disembowel.png|link=Disembowel]] --> [[file: Chaos thrust.png|link=Chaos Thrust]] --> [[file:fang and claw icon1.png|link=Fang and Claw]] or [[file:wheeling thrust icon1.png|link=Wheeling Thrust]] --> [[file: phlebotomize.png|link=Phlebotomize]] --> [[file: true thrust.png|link=True Thrust]] --> [[file: Vorpal thrust.png|link=Vorpal Thrust]] --> [[file: Full thrust.png|link=Full Thrust]] --> [[file:fang and claw icon1.png|link=Fang and Claw]] or [[file:wheeling thrust icon1.png|link=Wheeling Thrust]]

Essentially, you alternate between Heavy Thrust/Chaos Thrust combo and Phlebotomize/Full Thrust combo, weaving in off-GCDs between. Should [[Blood of the Dragon]] ever fall off, you can revert to the old 2.0 rotation (nicknamed by some the "rotation of shame") until it comes back up. Instead of going back and forth, you'll be doing Chaos Thrust combo -> Full Thrust combo x2 -> repeat, while alternating Heavy Thrust and Phlebotomize every combo.

====Opener (without potion)====

[[file: Heavy thrust.png|link=Heavy Thrust]] --> [[file:battle litany icon1.png|link=Battle Litany]] --> [[file: Impulse drive.png|link=Impulse Drive]] --> [[file: Blood for blood.png|link=Blood for Blood]] [[file:internal release.png|link=Internal Release]] --> [[file: Disembowel.png|link=Disembowel]] --> [[file: Leg sweep.png|link=Leg Sweep]] [[file:blood of the dragon icon1.png|link=Blood of the Dragon]] --> [[file: Chaos thrust.png|link=Chaos Thrust]] --> [[File:power surge.png|link=Power Surge]] --> [[file:fang and claw icon1.png|link=Fang and Claw]] or [[file:wheeling thrust icon1.png|link=Wheeling Thrust]] --> [[file:jump.png|link=Jump]] --> [[file: phlebotomize.png|link=Phlebotomize]] --> [[file: dragonfire dive.png|link=Dragonfire Dive]] --> [[file: true thrust.png|link=True Thrust]] --> [[file:spineshatter dive.png|link=Spineshatter Dive]] --> [[file: Vorpal thrust.png|link=Vorpal Thrust]] --> [[file: Life surge.png|link=Life Surge]] --> [[file:Geirskogul icon1.png|link=Geirskogul]] --> [[file: Full thrust.png|link=Full Thrust]] --> [[file:fang and claw icon1.png|link=Fang and Claw]] or [[file:wheeling thrust icon1.png|link=Wheeling Thrust]]

====AOE Rotation====

[[file: Heavy thrust.png|link=Heavy Thrust]] --> [[file: Ring of thorns.png|link=Ring of thorns]] --> [[file: Doomspike.png|link=Doomspike]] x many

Only use your AOE rotation when there are 3 or more mobs, otherwise use your single-target rotation. Doomspike has a larger AOE than you might realize, but it may still be difficult to line up the enemies; Ring of Thorns is good in those cases. Keep Heavy Thrust up throughout, remember to use [[Invigorate]], and weave in off-GCDs as you go.

===General Endgame Tips===

Dragoons and TP: Another reason for the soft skill speed "cap" is that higher skill speed drains your TP more quickly. Be sure to use [[Invigorate]] as soon as you see your TP bar dip below 500 so that you have it up again as soon as possible.

[[Battle Litany]]: These buffs don't stack, so if you have another Dragoon in the party, be sure to ask them if they want first or second. That way, you can have this buff up for double its duration by using them back to back.

[[Geirskogul]]: A good way to figure out if you have enough uptime left on [[Blood of the Dragon]] to use Geirskogul is to find out your threshold--how low the timer can be right after using [[Fang and Claw]]/[[Wheeling Thrust]]. At 2.38s GCD, that threshold is 21 seconds. It will be higher the less skill speed you have, so be careful. Also, if [[Blood of the Dragon]] (the skill) is about to come back up, you can freely spend a Geirskogul one off-GCD before using BotD again. However, a lot of it has to do with learning fights well enough to know when you may want to save Geirskogul or manipulate the BotD in a certain way.

[[Blood for Blood]] and [[Chaos Thrust]]: Try to make sure you have the first up for the second, as Chaos Thrust's damage over time effect makes up a large portion of your damage. It's hard for them to miss each other unless you use Blood for Blood literally right after Chaos Thrust, so try not to do that.

[[Power Surge]]: Always pair Power Surge with [[Jump]], since it has more potency than [[Spineshatter Dive]]. Ideally, every sixty seconds you want to use the two in back-to-back off-GCDs.

[[Life Surge]]: You don't need to wait to always use this on [[Full Thrust]]. If it's up and you're about to use Fang and Claw or Wheeling Thrust, and you know you'll be able to hit the positional on it, go ahead and use Life Surge--you're actually losing DPS by saving it for later.

==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}}

==General Information==
[[Dragoon]] is a polearm-wielding [[jobs|job]] that specializes in [[polearms|lances]], leaps, and a piercing style of combat. They evolve from the [[classes|class]] [[lancer]].

They can also use all the cross-class abilities of [[marauder]] and [[pugilist]]. The most important [[attributes|stat]] for the dragoon is [[strength]], which increases [[Attack Power|attack power]]. The level of your Dragoon is equivalent to that of your Lancer.

==[[Dragoon Guide]]==

===Recommended Cross-Class Actions===
[[Internal Release]] is the most important of the cross-class actions for a Dragoon to take, as it is the biggest increase in damage available. [[Mercy Stroke]] will also give you some free extra damage near the end of a boss. These are the two actions you always want to have on your hotbar.

The other three choices are mainly a matter of preference, though [[Featherfoot]] and [[Haymaker]] aren't worth it, even together, and neither [[Fracture]] nor [[Skull Sunder]] will never be better than the other tools in your arsenal. Some like taking [[Foresight]] or [[Bloodbath]] for a little bit of extra defense, while others prefer [[Second Wind]] for a quick insta-heal or [[Mantra]] for party support. None of these are totally required, though.

===Endgame Skill Speed===
[[Skill speed]] is an important stat for a Dragoon to work around when gearing up for the endgame. Ideally, you want your GCD to be anywhere between 2.38 and 2.41 seconds long. This range is because of both the timing of [[Geirskogul]]s and whether or not you're clipping DoTs vs. letting them fall off. This GCD range equates to anywhere from 590 to 652 skill speed.

===Endgame Rotations===
Your most basic rotation looks like this:

[[file: Heavy thrust.png|link=Heavy Thrust]] --> [[file: Impulse drive.png|link=Impulse Drive]] --> [[file: Disembowel.png|link=Disembowel]] --> [[file: Chaos thrust.png|link=Chaos Thrust]] --> [[file:fang and claw icon1.png|link=Fang and Claw]] or [[file:wheeling thrust icon1.png|link=Wheeling Thrust]] --> [[file: phlebotomize.png|link=Phlebotomize]] --> [[file: true thrust.png|link=True Thrust]] --> [[file: Vorpal thrust.png|link=Vorpal Thrust]] --> [[file: Full thrust.png|link=Full Thrust]] --> [[file:fang and claw icon1.png|link=Fang and Claw]] or [[file:wheeling thrust icon1.png|link=Wheeling Thrust]]

Essentially, you alternate between Heavy Thrust/Chaos Thrust combo and Phlebotomize/Full Thrust combo, weaving in off-GCDs between. Should [[Blood of the Dragon]] ever fall off, you can revert to the old 2.0 rotation (nicknamed by some the "rotation of shame") until it comes back up. Instead of going back and forth, you'll be doing Chaos Thrust combo -> Full Thrust combo x2 -> repeat, while alternating Heavy Thrust and Phlebotomize every combo.

===General Endgame Tips===

[[Battle Litany]]: These buffs don't stack, so if you have another Dragoon in the party, be sure to ask them if they want first or second. That way, you can have this buff up for double its duration by using them back to back.

[[Geirskogul]]: A good way to figure out if you have enough uptime left on [[Blood of the Dragon]] to use Geirskogul is to find out your threshold--how low the timer can be right after using [[Fang and Claw]]/[[Wheeling Thrust]]. At 2.38s GCD, that threshold is 21 seconds. It will be higher the less skill speed you have, so be careful. Also, if [[Blood of the Dragon]] (the skill) is about to come back up, you can freely spend a Geirskogul one off-GCD before using BotD again. However, a lot of it has to do with learning fights well enough to know when you may want to save Geirskogul or manipulate the BotD in a certain way.

[[Blood for Blood]] and [[Chaos Thrust]]: Try to make sure you have the first up for the second, as Chaos Thrust's damage over time effect makes up a large portion of your damage. It's hard for them to miss each other unless you use Blood for Blood literally right after Chaos Thrust, so try not to do that.

[[Power Surge]]: Always pair Power Surge with [[Jump]], since it has more potency than [[Spineshatter Dive]]. Ideally, every sixty seconds you want to use the two in back-to-back off-GCDs.

[[Life Surge]]: You don't need to wait to always use this on [[Full Thrust]]. If it's up and you're about to use Fang and Claw or Wheeling Thrust, and you know you'll be able to hit the positional on it, go ahead and use Life Surge--you're actually losing DPS by saving it for later.

==[[Dragoon Guide]]==

===Recommended Cross-Class Actions===
[[Internal Release]] is the most important of the cross-class actions for a Dragoon to take, as it is the biggest increase in damage available. [[Mercy Stroke]] will also give you some free extra damage near the end of a boss. These are the two actions you always want to have on your hotbar.

The other three choices are mainly a matter of preference, though [[Featherfoot]] and [[Haymaker]] aren't worth it, even together, and neither [[Fracture]] nor [[Skull Sunder]] will never be better than the other tools in your arsenal. Some like taking [[Foresight]] or [[Bloodbath]] for a little bit of extra defense, while others prefer [[Second Wind]] for a quick insta-heal or [[Mantra]] for party support. None of these are totally required, though.

===Endgame Skill Speed===
[[Skill speed]] is an important stat for a Dragoon to work around when gearing up for the endgame. Ideally, you want your GCD to be anywhere between 2.38 and 2.41 seconds long. This range is because of both the timing of [[Geirskogul]]s and whether or not you're clipping DoTs vs. letting them fall off. This GCD range equates to anywhere from 592 to 652 skill speed.

===Endgame Rotations===
Your most basic rotation looks like this:

[[file: Heavy thrust.png|link=Heavy Thrust]] --> [[file: Impulse drive.png|link=Impulse Drive]] --> [[file: Disembowel.png|link=Disembowel]] --> [[file: Chaos thrust.png|link=Chaos Thrust]] --> [[file:fang and claw icon1.png|link=Fang and Claw]] or [[file:wheeling thrust icon1.png|link=Wheeling Thrust]] --> [[file: phlebotomize.png|link=Phlebotomize]] --> [[file: true thrust.png|link=True Thrust]] --> [[file: Vorpal thrust.png|link=Vorpal Thrust]] --> [[file: Full thrust.png|link=Full Thrust]] --> [[file:fang and claw icon1.png|link=Fang and Claw]] or [[file:wheeling thrust icon1.png|link=Wheeling Thrust]]

Essentially, you alternate between Heavy Thrust/Chaos Thrust combo and Phlebotomize/Full Thrust combo, weaving in off-GCDs between. Should [[Blood of the Dragon]] ever fall off, you can revert to the old 2.0 rotation (nicknamed by some the "rotation of shame") until it comes back up. Instead of going back and forth, you'll be doing Chaos Thrust combo -> Full Thrust combo x2 -> repeat, while alternating Heavy Thrust and Phlebotomize every combo.

====Opener (with potion)====

[[file: Heavy thrust.png|link=Heavy Thrust]] --> [[file:battle litany icon1.png|link=Battle Litany]] --> [[file:internal release.png|link=Internal Release]] --> [[file: Impulse drive.png|link=Impulse Drive]] --> [[file:blood of the dragon icon1.png|link=Blood of the Dragon]] --> [[file: Blood for blood.png|link=Blood for Blood]] --> [[file: Disembowel.png|link=Disembowel]] --> [[file: draconian potion of strength icon1.png|link=Draconian Potion of Strength]] --> [[file: Chaos thrust.png|link=Chaos Thrust]] --> [[File:power surge.png|link=Power Surge]] --> [[file: Leg sweep.png|link=Leg Sweep]] --> [[file:fang and claw icon1.png|link=Fang and Claw]] or [[file:wheeling thrust icon1.png|link=Wheeling Thrust]] --> [[file:jump.png|link=Jump]] --> [[file: phlebotomize.png|link=Phlebotomize]] --> [[file:spineshatter dive.png|link=Spineshatter Dive]] --> [[file: true thrust.png|link=True Thrust]] --> [[file: dragonfire dive.png|link=Dragonfire Dive]] --> [[file: Vorpal thrust.png|link=Vorpal Thrust]] --> [[file: Life surge.png|link=Life Surge]] --> [[file:Geirskogul icon1.png|link=Geirskogul]] --> [[file: Full thrust.png|link=Full Thrust]] --> [[file:fang and claw icon1.png|link=Fang and Claw]] or [[file:wheeling thrust icon1.png|link=Wheeling Thrust]]

[[file: Heavy thrust.png|link=Heavy Thrust]] --> [[file:battle litany icon1.png|link=Battle Litany]] --> [[file: Impulse drive.png|link=Impulse Drive]] --> [[file: Blood for blood.png|link=Blood for Blood]] [[file:internal release.png|link=Internal Release]] --> [[file: Disembowel.png|link=Disembowel]] --> [[file: Leg sweep.png|link=Leg Sweep]] [[file:blood of the dragon icon1.png|link=Blood of the Dragon]] --> [[file: Chaos thrust.png|link=Chaos Thrust]] --> [[File:power surge.png|link=Power Surge]] --> [[file:fang and claw icon1.png|link=Fang and Claw]] or [[file:wheeling thrust icon1.png|link=Wheeling Thrust]] --> [[file:jump.png|link=Jump]] --> [[file: phlebotomize.png|link=Phlebotomize]] --> [[file: dragonfire dive.png|link=Dragonfire Dive]] --> [[file: true thrust.png|link=True Thrust]] --> [[file:spineshatter dive.png|link=Spineshatter Dive]] --> [[file: Vorpal thrust.png|link=Vorpal Thrust]] --> [[file: Life surge.png|link=Life Surge]] --> [[file:Geirskogul icon1.png|link=Geirskogul]] --> [[file: Full thrust.png|link=Full Thrust]] --> [[file:fang and claw icon1.png|link=Fang and Claw]] or [[file:wheeling thrust icon1.png|link=Wheeling Thrust]]

===General Endgame Tips===

[[Battle Litany]]: These buffs don't stack, so if you have another Dragoon in the party, be sure to ask them if they want first or second. That way, you can have this buff up for double its duration by using them back to back.

[[Geirskogul]]: A good way to figure out if you have enough uptime left on [[Blood of the Dragon]] to use Geirskogul is to find out your threshold--how low the timer can be right after using [[Fang and Claw]]/[[Wheeling Thrust]]. At 2.38s GCD, that threshold is 21 seconds. It will be higher the less skill speed you have, so be careful. Also, if [[Blood of the Dragon]] (the skill) is about to come back up, you can freely spend a Geirskogul one off-GCD before using BotD again. However, a lot of it has to do with learning fights well enough to know when you may want to save Geirskogul or manipulate the BotD in a certain way.

[[Blood for Blood]] and [[Chaos Thrust]]: Try to make sure you have the first up for the second, as Chaos Thrust's damage over time effect makes up a large portion of your damage. It's hard for them to miss each other unless you use Blood for Blood literally right after Chaos Thrust, so try not to do that.

[[Power Surge]]: Always pair Power Surge with [[Jump]], since it has more potency than [[Spineshatter Dive]]. Ideally, every sixty seconds you want to use the two in back-to-back off-GCDs.

[[Life Surge]]: You don't need to wait to always use this on [[Full Thrust]]. If it's up and you're about to use Fang and Claw or Wheeling Thrust, and you know you'll be able to hit the positional on it, go ahead and use Life Surge--you're actually losing DPS by saving it for later.

==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}}

==[[Dragoon Guide]]==

===Recommended Cross-Class Actions===
[[Internal Release]] is the most important of the cross-class actions for a Dragoon to take, as it is the biggest increase in damage available. [[Mercy Stroke]] will also give you some free extra damage near the end of a boss. These are the two actions you always want to have on your hotbar.

The other three choices are mainly a matter of preference, though [[Featherfoot]] and [[Haymaker]] aren't worth it, even together, and neither [[Fracture]] nor [[Skull Sunder]] will never be better than the other tools in your arsenal. Some like taking [[Foresight]] or [[Bloodbath]] for a little bit of extra defense, while others prefer [[Second Wind]] for a quick insta-heal or [[Mantra]] for party support. None of these are totally required, though.

===Endgame Skill Speed===
[[Skill speed]] is an important stat for a Dragoon to work around when gearing up for the endgame. Ideally, you want your GCD to be anywhere between 2.38 and 2.41 seconds long. This range is because of both the timing of [[Geirskogul]]s and whether or not you're clipping DoTs vs. letting them fall off. This GCD range equates to anywhere from 592 to 652 skill speed.

===Endgame Rotations===
Your most basic rotation looks like this:

[[file: Heavy thrust.png|link=Heavy Thrust]] --> [[file: Impulse drive.png|link=Impulse Drive]] --> [[file: Disembowel.png|link=Disembowel]] --> [[file: Chaos thrust.png|link=Chaos Thrust]] --> [[file:fang and claw icon1.png|link=Fang and Claw]] or [[file:wheeling thrust icon1.png|link=Wheeling Thrust]] --> [[file: phlebotomize.png|link=Phlebotomize]] --> [[file: true thrust.png|link=True Thrust]] --> [[file: Vorpal thrust.png|link=Vorpal Thrust]] --> [[file: Full thrust.png|link=Full Thrust]] --> [[file:fang and claw icon1.png|link=Fang and Claw]] or [[file:wheeling thrust icon1.png|link=Wheeling Thrust]]

Essentially, you alternate between Heavy Thrust/Chaos Thrust combo and Phlebotomize/Full Thrust combo, weaving in off-GCDs between.

====Opener (without potion)====

[[file: Heavy thrust.png|link=Heavy Thrust]] --> [[file:battle litany icon1.png|link=Battle Litany]] --> [[file: Impulse drive.png|link=Impulse Drive]] --> [[file: Blood for blood.png|link=Blood for Blood]] [[file:internal release.png|link=Internal Release]] --> [[file: Disembowel.png|link=Disembowel]] --> [[file: Leg sweep.png|link=Leg Sweep]] [[file:blood of the dragon icon1.png|link=Blood of the Dragon]] --> [[file: Chaos thrust.png|link=Chaos Thrust]] --> [[File:power surge.png|link=Power Surge]] --> [[file:fang and claw icon1.png|link=Fang and Claw]] or [[file:wheeling thrust icon1.png|link=Wheeling Thrust]] --> [[file:jump.png|link=Jump]] --> [[file: phlebotomize.png|link=Phlebotomize]] --> [[file: dragonfire dive.png|link=Dragonfire Dive]] --> [[file: true thrust.png|link=True Thrust]] --> [[file:spineshatter dive.png|link=Spineshatter Dive]] --> [[file: Vorpal thrust.png|link=Vorpal Thrust]] --> [[file: Life surge.png|link=Life Surge]] --> [[file:Geirskogul icon1.png|link=Geirskogul]] --> [[file: Full thrust.png|link=Full Thrust]] --> [[file:fang and claw icon1.png|link=Fang and Claw]] or [[file:wheeling thrust icon1.png|link=Wheeling Thrust]]

===General Endgame Tips===

[[Battle Litany]]: These buffs don't stack, so if you have another Dragoon in the party, be sure to ask them if they want first or second. That way, you can have this buff up for double its duration by using them back to back.

[[Geirskogul]]: A good way to figure out if you have enough uptime left on [[Blood of the Dragon]] to use Geirskogul is to find out your threshold--how low the timer can be right after using [[Fang and Claw]]/[[Wheeling Thrust]]. At 2.38s GCD, that threshold is 21 seconds. It will be higher the less skill speed you have, so be careful. Also, if [[Blood of the Dragon]] (the skill) is about to come back up, you can freely spend a Geirskogul one off-GCD before using BotD again. However, a lot of it has to do with learning fights well enough to know when you may want to save Geirskogul or manipulate the BotD in a certain way.

[[Blood for Blood]] and [[Chaos Thrust]]: Try to make sure you have the first up for the second, as Chaos Thrust's damage over time effect makes up a large portion of your damage. It's hard for them to miss each other unless you use Blood for Blood literally right after Chaos Thrust, so try not to do that.

[[Power Surge]]: Always pair Power Surge with [[Jump]], since it has more potency than [[Spineshatter Dive]]. Ideally, every sixty seconds you want to use the two in back-to-back off-GCDs.

[[Life Surge]]: You don't need to wait to always use this on [[Full Thrust]]. If it's up and you're about to use Fang and Claw or Wheeling Thrust, and you know you'll be able to hit the positional on it, go ahead and use Life Surge--you're actually losing DPS by saving it for later.

==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}}
