Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Denmark]

To each their own, I don't have experience with it myself so all I can attest to is how it looks to me on paper.

The MT will move Garuda to the opposite direction of where Chirada is, which is somwehere 7 o'clock for Chirada. OT Holds Suparna and Spiny Plume somewhere around 11 o'clock.


I wouldn't argue on how you see things differently, we do have different POVs, anyway I find this one easier, less pressure for healers to top tanks as well.

The fight is already capable of being single healed with the MT taking double WW. WW is also avoidable by the MT if he/she is experienced enough. Not that both strats wouldn't work, but having a dps tank Chirada is largely unnecessary.

True, true. I updated all of my spreadsheets to include crafted gear for shiggles, and it turned out surprisingly well. Nothing for MNK, but potentially 1 for DRG. I get up to 4 for BRD (Pre-T5), but generally 2.

4? Curious to what those are. I can only think of two that hardly make the cut, but 4?

the stats aren't exact because xivdb doesn't have meld caps

It does

In the wardrobe, if you have an item with Materia Slots, you select the "Materia" tab, on top of the boxes where you drag your selected items in.

I actually didn't notice I could change the number when I was attaching it

Can anyone shed light on the ideal way to rotate cool-downs after the initial cool-down dump ?

ie:
Leg Sweep : asap
Mercy Stroke : asap
Life Surge : asap on Full Thrust
Jump & Power Surge : should Jump be spammed asap ? or should it be pair with Power Surge everytime
Internal Release & Blood for Blood : asap ? or should they be paired together and saved for Chaos Thrust/Phlebotomize
Spineshatter Dive / Dragonfire Fire : save as gap closer or spam asap

or is it a case of simply using off-GCD skills as soon as they become available.

As I have said, it works better FOR me. I don't see in any of my post imposing that everyone should do the same, I just answered PArcher's question in the first place.

And AFAIK WW can't be dodged, you can only tank double WW by popping up a def CD.

This is my parser from T5 tonight with 472 accuracy. I hope it will help us to know how much accuracy needed for end game later.
regards

Just completed another night of coil at 473 accuracy with 0 misses, including about 40 mins on Twintania.

According to This list the BiS is the same from 472 accuracy up to 476 accuracy.

Until someone can prove misses at 476 accuracy I think this should be considered the BiS (not including the crafted belt)

BiS for Accuracy 476
Score: 696.621
Weapon: Allagan Spear
Gloves: Allagan Gauntlets Of Maiming
Helmet: Wyrm's Armet
Chest: Wyrm's Mail

Feet: Allagan Sollerets Of Maiming
Neck: Hero's Necklace Of Slaying
Earrings: Tremor Earrings Of Striking
Wrists: Hero's Bracelets Of Slaying
Ring1: Allagan Ring Of Maiming
Ring2: Allagan Ring Of Striking

Weapon Damage: 47

The thing is that 472 ACC may be already too high. We need more data, but for the moment Ayvar parsed T5 with 466 ACC with a few misses and with 467 for no misses. At 467 the BiS list is slightly different (you end with 470 ACC with that list), not a lot of changes but still different.
