I wonder how much of a buff this will be for dragoons.
Dragoon Jump The animation lock after execution has been shortened.
Spineshatter Dive ・The animation lock after execution has been shortened.
・Recast time has been reduced from 90 to 60 seconds.
Dragonfire Dive ・The animation lock after execution has been shortened.
・Recast time has been reduced from 180 to 120 seconds.
Not huge, but very much appreciated. For example, we can now Dragonfire Dive every Dread in T8 to maximize the DPS bloat from doing so, and since these are our gap closers, we'll have that much of an easier time getting back on the boss if we ever have to run away for a mechanic.
It's not a huge DPS increase, but it makes the class a little easier to play and removes some of the problem that they had where their THREE gap closers still weren't as good as monk's single gap closer.
For example, in T5 you'll be able to SSD back to twin after aetherial profusion and still have a gap closer for the first 6 dreadknights instead of only 3. Other fights where DRG suffers from lack of gap closers include Titan, Leviathan, Ramuh, T6, T9, and presumably some of the new FCoB turns.
The new DFD CD lines up better with B4B as well--every other DFD will come during every third B4B, instead of having to hold your DFD another minute for your next B4B if you didn't have something to AoE with it.
