Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Dervy]

Thank's a bunch EasymodeX. Live saver you are!

That's the thread; though the solver doesn't work for me, not one bit. Sad times.

There honestly isn't any reason to just stack like that; all you have to avoid is going out of heal range (which is pretty large for Medica/2 and Succor, especially if the heals are near ADS...is the WHM only using Cure 3?)

I'd also assume left, since that Piercing debuff on the right just kills our DPS...

Yeah we went left and "not moving" sounds idiotic. The only complexity is that the healers will eventually pull aggro so you have to watch for ADS turning and dodging your HT/IDs, especially if the tank tries to fight it (tell them not to bother).

Thanks. I mean we still kill ADS either way, but didn't make much sense to me to go right with only one BLM in group composition (typically drg, mnk or brd, brd, blm) or have us all stack on the tank during the enrage. Piercing resistance + no HT/IDC combo = non existant dps. Tried to tell the that...so i'll ignore them this week.

Also makes more sense to bring a PLD and only one BRD for silence, since you'll get a faster LB build, if your group has the flexibility to switch jobs of course. One of my group's tanks only has tank jobs leveled, so as not to leave him out on T2, we let him switch to his choice of Marauder in full STR (crafted & melded) gear, and he hilariously does very decent damage... Like.. regrettably good damage.

My Coil group seems to be constantly fielding new people. There's a few of us that have multiple geared 50s that we switch our roles depending on who shows up. We try not to double up, but it happens.


Edit : I've yet to see a single piece of allagan armor drop for dragoon. Always seems to be healer or blm/smn gear each week with a maybe the odd melee or tank accessory thrown in.

I got an allagan drop for my BLM (2nd job) first try, and still zero drops for my DRG. Although I've only been running coil for about 4-5 weeks.

I've also only seen one DRG drop in CT so far, the damn belt, which I don't need coz I have Hero's. On Sunday nights, I'll just take whatever drops on my last run. Consequently, I have 3 pieces of BRD peppermint gear..... My archer is level 15, FML.

I think we're being punished for the multitude of drops that DRG was receiving in Coil early on in 2.0. I'm going to start collecting MNK CT gear if I keep having this luck, coz MNK stuff looks SWEET! I pretty much see all BRD and MNK gear go to the trash.. Last night, all 4 pieces of dropped gear went to the trash. Compared to the difficulty of gear acquisition in the rest of this game, I think CT lotting needs to be fixed..... It's HARDER to get lvl80 gear than it is 90, haha.

Okay, I've fixed the solver from the original creator, and I've also updated it to include the newest gear. Here's what it spat out for 472 acc, no Food.

Score with new Stat Weights: 689.89

Weapon: Allagan Spear
Head: Wyrm's Armet
Chest: Wyrm's Mail
Gloves: Allagan Gauntlets of Maiming
Waist: Hero's Belt of Maiming
Legs: Allagan Trousers of Maiming
Boots: Allagan Sollerets of maiming
Necklace: Hero's Necklace of Slaying
Bracelet: Hero's Bracelet of Slaying
Earrings: Tremor Earrings of Striking
Ring1: Allagan Ring of Striking
Ring2: Allagan Ring of Maiming

Accuracy: 476 (total)
Critical Hit Rate: 77
Skill Speed: 27
Determination: 151

Gunna rerun it in a second with 468 accuracy, so we can use Button Mushroom Sautes to reach 472 and see if it gives higher DPS over this set.

[EasymodeX]

Accuracy: 475 (total)

I'm showing 476.

belt - 16
bracelet - 11
glove - 15
helm - 21
legging - 34
neck - 11
ring - 16, 11
base - 341

What is the difference?

Thanks for noticing the typo

Do it for 463 instead, it'll be better to have lower native accuracy from gear and use food to push it higher for T5. We still don't know what the cap is for T5 anyway, and I highly doubt it's 472, but we'll use that as the T5 ceiling for now.

Stat weights (per point);

WD 8.488
STR 1.000
DTR 0.323
CRT 0.184
SS 0.152

Thanks for the work as usual, I always knew DTR had it in him!! ha; but on a sad note I am now back down to only 4 best in slot pieces on my char. Damn Allagan never drops for DRG
