This was all really helpful, thanks. My group was telling me "stop trying to do positionals" I can now tell them "stop keeping me from doing them" instead. :3

We're on phase 4. I have cleared with other groups as have many of my static members but our main group has only gotten him to 9%.

How far will 476 acc get me in second coils?

With deviled eggs, T7. For T8 using lava toad legs would put you at 499acc which is above flank/rear caps. For T9 it's below frontal cap but not really that big of a deal...(of course only till you manage to miss that fully buffed full thrust and you cry lol.)

Initially when learning the phases, it might be good to do less positionals and sneak in one or two once in a while so that you don't confuse the group while letting them practice and get used to the flow of the mechanics, but once you surpass that there's no reason to maximise damage and time your grouping up just as fire and thunder hits. :) great to be of help

This is my dragoon BIS, not used much of HA gear tho, but managed to get very low skill speed

ACC 490, CRIT 560, DET 289 and SS 399. For t6-t8, i used risotto, and never missed. For t9 i used lava toad and get my acc to 514 for front hit. What do u guys think ?

Too much RNG crits!

Can't wait to see what new abilities they give us with level cap raise. I'd love a "death blow jump" so it would it would useable at say 5% and you jump up in the air for longer (a bit like freya..maybe the length of a cast) then land with some cool effects and inflict damage and some kind of debuff

Guys, what is the opinion on the Astrum Helm and Astrum Belt? I currently have the ST helm and belt equipped but am wondering if the Astrum stuff would be better. It would give me more Str, Acc, SS, Def and M.Def, but at the cost of quite a bit of Det. I'm currently only at T7, so the HA stuff is out of my reach for now.

Hope my fellow dragoons have been doing well. Been a while since I visited :)

Both Astrum pieces are pretty much the worst pieces you can get :P ST helm is a good progression piece, I don't remember the exact stats on the belt, is it 12 acc/12 det? That's pretty good if so. Remember that 3 det is worth nearly 1 str, so 16 det on the helm is like getting 5 str. I've been trying to get rid of my weathered astrum helm for months but no RNG luck lol (and I refuse to upgrade the crappy piece)

Astrum helm is crap. Avoid it now and forever. In 2.4, try to get HA hat or poetic hat (depending on whether or not poetic's stats are appropriate)
