Each job in FFXIV<\/a> has tons of abilities. Some of which can be activated repeatedly, whilst other abilities have a GCD (global cooldown). Players wanting to optimize their damage, tanking, or healing must ensure they are performing the right rotation of abilities. This ensures that your buffs remain active for as long as possible, and there is no downtime in dishing out DPS. <\/p>\n

Dancer is a Physical ranged DPS class that foregoes the typical huge numbers associated with other DPS Jobs in favor of providing sizeable damage buffs to the entire party. <\/p>\n

So, if you are curious to learn more, you’ve come to the right place. This article will cover the best Dancer rotation in FFXIV. <\/p>\n

In order to know the best Dancer rotation in FFXIV, we need to look at several different factors. These include openers, GCDs, buffs, and more. We will break down each step of the rotation below:<\/p>\n

As mentioned, Dancers are a support-hybrid type of DPS that focus on providing buffs to the team. These come in the form of a two-minute party-wide raid buff, and a huge damage steroid to a single party member of the Dancer’s choosing. <\/p>\n

Battles that require hard DPS checks are where Dancers can shine, as this Job is capable of helping the party deal as much damage as possible. <\/p>\n

Here is an example of a Dancer opener and rotation:<\/p>\n

  23. Step<\/strong><\/li>\n
  24. Step<\/strong><\/li>\n
  25. Standard Finish<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Depending on the type of encounter you’re up against, this rotation may differ slightly. However, this is a great one for maximizing your damage.<\/p>\n

    If you enjoy playing a DPS role but also offering more support to your team, Dancers are a great fit. While other DPS Jobs like Samurai and Machinist are described as selfish due to their lack of utility, no raid party will be sad to see a Dancer.<\/p>\n

    And that is everything you need to know about the best Dancer rotation, including openers, abilities, and more in FFXIV.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
