Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[LordMaitreya]

As nice as these changes sound, i fear that it may make the difference between a well played dragoon and the average 1-2-3 spammer smaller. Thoughts?

With the buffed TTT in mind, i also have a feeling fracture might become obsolete in all rotations.

I hope those changes are a joke. Reducing power surge CD and not jump? That is just simply not going to cut it. Especially when the already arguably highest st dps gets

"Monk's Greased Lightning effect, for example, will be increased. Also, we've noticed that because there are so few damage bonuses for attacking from an enemy's rear, players generally focused on attacking from the side. We'll be increasing bonuses for rear attacks, so if you use monk the way we had intended, your DPS will increase significantly."

Hey Guys, I've got some questions, sorry if they were already asked before.

Is it right to assume that overmelded Rose Ear Screws(With Crit and Vit) would top the Allagan Ears?

And if you have several Drg's in your party applying Disembowel, is it better to stick to the Thrust Combo or continue your rotation? I guess the Thrust Combo would do more Damage

Don't think so. iLvl 90 earrings have more STR and that trumps the amount of secondary stats you may gain from overmelding (at least from a DPS point of view; only go for the crafted stuff if you really need the VIT)

And if you have several Drg's in your party applying Disembowel, is it better to stick to the Thrust Combo or continue your rotation? I guess the Thrust Combo would do more Damage

No, it's not, as the IDC combo is of higher potency than your regular Thrust Combo, assuming you don't clip the CT DoT (see page 1 for details on this).

Thanks for the explanation!

I used to do TTT only in titan and I m always the LAST ONE to die in titan and I feel so good. And one day... a blm tell me you have full dl n relic yet ur dps is 175 with lb3 and I have 167 with less gears.
Thats when I open my eyes.
If you die the last as dps in titan. It means you r a noob because you eo so little damage that titan dont even attack you till everyone is dead.
And after that I used easymodeX combo guide and I did much much more dps and I can say im always on top dps now. Thank you for the combo guide.
As for TTT drg. Try to learn how to move n do the combo, you will see that drg damage is one of the top.

Assuming we will use the Allagan weapon in 2.1, we will need to make up for the loss of accuracy (37).

Gear/stats:


For me the most reasonable changes would be to replace Allagan Visor of Maiming with Wyrm's Armet, and Hero's Ring of Slaying with Allagan Ring of Maiming. This would be a gain of 32 accuracy, not quite there yet compared to what we had before. Change food to Deviled Eggs (assuming we used Buttons before), change the earrings around and stick with Hero's Ring, what would you guys do?

Edit: Apparantly there is a typo on the chart when it comes to the Allagan Necklace of Maiming, it should have Crit instead of Skill Speed (need someone to verify this). We could replace the Hero Necklace with the Maiming one, Allagan Visor of Maiming with Wyrm's Armet and Hero's Ring of Slaying with Allagan Ring of Maiming.

Yo man,

This write up and analysis is great. My rotations were very similar to the ones you posted here, but reading it helped me find a few kinks in my own strat and the time you put into your calculations are much appreciated.

Yeah the allagan choker of maiming indeed has crit.

I came up with something very similar, 1 less crit but 1 more accuracy. Replacing the ear with maiming, the wrist with heros and ring with maiming. At the very least it's one less T5 drop to worry about!

EDIT: Guess this set was already posted, so there you go.
