Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Sir_Maxwell]

Should I really include Jump skills in my usual DPS rotation?

Yes...only if you know it's safe to do so i.e. landslide/plumes/red boxes/circles in general aren't coming.

2.1 Jumps are getting buffed as well. From the notes it's faster animation and more control during the end of the jump. So might as well get used to using them now

Alright! Thanks! I just levelled my DRG to 50 so I'm still checking things out.

BiS Coil Gear

Mythology: Belt, Chest, Neck, Ring 1
Allagan: Boots, Bracelet (Maiming), Earring (Striking), Gloves, Helm, Leggings, Ring 2 (Striking)

Thankfully most of the best gear is dropped, so you only have to worry about purchasing one expensive piece with mythology tomes as the other three pieces are "cheap".

Here's a more visually pleasing version of the above list (provided by Kheten from page 44):

And this is a Pre-Turn 5 Coil version for the people that requested it. Just be careful with this set, there is a lot of added mythology gear, and the extra tome expense may not be worth it if you plan to reach Turn 5 anytime soon, so start by purchasing the Mythology pieces that are common to both sets:

Ayvar

why is BiS Allagan? http://xivdb.com/?wardrobe/2901/DRG-BiS why not Wyrms Breeches?

Due to lack of accuracy in Wyrms Breeches

IMHO the BiS link in the OP's post can be improved.

My config would be: http://xivdb.com/?wardrobe/4119/Dragoon-BiS

Everything is the same - just that opted for 2 Allagan Rings but the other opted for 1 Hero's Ring of Slaying.

End result is I sacrificed 11 Skill Speed for 11 Accuracy (Crit and Determination remains the same at 140 and 112 respectively).

BiS gear puts you at the accuracy cap for coil meaning any extra acc is useless.

Edit: I looked at your lodestone profile and you could probably improve your DPS if you chugged a fantasia potion and switched to anything else besides a Lalafell.

Just sayin'.

What is wrong with being an adorable midget of death?

Thanks for the post! I will freely admit that I am a baby dragoon with visions of flying through the air dancing in my head.

You actually also lose 3 determination.

However i agree that what you posted is the BiS. The other set will only put you at 470 acc, where as this set puts you at 481 acc. I guess it is still up in the air for the acc cap for turn 5 (I have never missed with 479 acc) but there are reports of misses at 470 acc.

Hello again,

I tried doing the following rotation (it's from the first page) but it seems I always lack 1.5s to fully benefit from the first HT buff before I hit the LS+FT combo.

HT-IR-Fr-BFB-Ph-Sweep-ID-Dis-PS-CT-Jump-TT-VT-LS-FT // -HT-Fr-Sweep-Ph-TT-VT-FT-ID-Dis-CT-HT-Sweep-Fr-Ph-TT-Jump-VT-FT-TT-VT-FT-Sweep

Is it just me? or anyone else having the same problem with me during the actual encounters? Removing Fracture will make the rotation better, but I'm not sure if I lose alot of DPS by doing so.
