Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

What item lv will b the new crafted weapons and gear?

[PArcher]

Why do most decent DRG's I see posting use or advise people to use foresight over featherfoot as a cross class ability?
Personally I have seen far better results from featherfoot. Foresight is a very marginal benefit at best,
it is only really noticeable from a tank perspective when you have a large amount of incoming physical damage and the buff lasts for the full duration of incoming damage.
From a DRG perspective if you happen to pull hate or have something to OT ie Rook or Chirada etc. which dies fairly quick featherfoot gives much better benefits by making attacks have a decent chance to miss.

Featherfoot gives a 15% miss chance. This can end up mitigating a lot of damage...or absolutely nothing. IMO, that chance is not worth it. Foresight mitigates any physical damage by a set amount; no chance to deal with. Ultimately, though...they both suck

Personally, the first defensive CD I use is Keen Flurry (paired with Bloodbath). 80% chance to mitigate 27% (ish) of (parry-able) damage IS worth the risk (and the place I use it most on, T4 against Knights, I parry almost all Headspins with KF up).

I don't know about "crafted weapons", but crafted gear is i90.

[Butcherboy]

The new crafted gear will b interesting as will b just like when ilvl 70 was better than dark light . Ilvl 90 gear will b obviously better than what myth gear now. Ohhhh man I'm so excited. I'll meld all of my gear once it's up for grabs in market place, I hope it's better looking than the myth gear if not I'll just glamour the drg body. Also it was mention that there will b no more use P tomes. Will there b an npc to convert them all or will our P tomes b converted automatically once we update to 2.2?

[ChaoticDarkGriever]

I'm sure that there will be an NPC that will convert Philosophy tomes to Mythology. Don't automatically assume that it will be an 1:1 exchange rate though.

He want dat cake cake cake

Because Featherfoot requires the RNG Gods to give a damn about me for 10 seconds, where as foresight is a guaranteed defense increase 100% of the time....

Ding Ding Ding! We have a winner.

Dunno about the rest of you, but I don't like praying to the Twelve in the middle of a fight. Same goes for Keen Flurry.

Yes, there WILL be an NPC to convert your Philo into Mytho (confirmed), but I don't know the conversion rates.

PArcher...Thanks again for suggestion. I followed the map (pg 169) exactly. I am now capped with 411 myths. I got lucky in last coil run getting allagan hands and legs to go with allagan neck and wrist. With relic+1, myth helm, chest, belt, feet and ring of slaying. Only dark light left is earrings and ring of striking. Acc is 504. That enough? What is next equip wise?

504 issssssssssss waaaaaaaaaaaay more than enough.

When gearing up your character, your number #1 priority is getting to i90 first, don't think of BiS and focus on getting an upgrade (in this case your earrings and ring), once you get to a max ilevel that's when you concern yourself in BiS.

Ilvl 86 now. If I don't get earrings or rings from coil this week. Then I buy myth earrings? Since I already have slaying ring?
