Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Dervy]

Can someone please post the "Dragoon Gear Solver 1.4" after it has been updated?

I went through and added everything myself but when I tried to run the solver it wouldn't properly select the rings (possibly others?), even though I definitely selected the right ranges when inputting it into the solver.

I'm assuming it is because of the formula in the "Constraints" section for each item with the "1s and 2", which might not work properly since I added a bunch of new rows that weren't there previously. But I'm not sure what I did wrong / what I changed.

I liked using this solver since I could select items based on the drops I actually got at the time instead of just the end-all-be-all best in slot set.

The missing spaces are for the new Crafted gear. Going to neaten it up, and make an unofficial 1.5, which will only have Mytho Gear as a base, and exclude crafting. Food is updated for the new 2.2 changes as well. Tell me ASAP if any of the stats for new pieces of gear is wrong.

Despite the stats on the Astrum body, I think it has potential over High Allagan body.(Dat 41 acc) All depends on the amount of accuracy we need for 6-9 and how well the 20 det can be made up.

I used XIVdb~ so pretty sure this only counts NQ buttons.

Weapon: High Allagan Spear
Helmet: High Allagan Headgear of Maiming
Chest: Astrum Mail
Gloves: Astrum Armguards
Belt: High Allagan Belt of Maiming
Legs: Astrum Hose
Boots: High Allagan Sabatons of Maiming
Necklace: High Allagan Choker of Slaying
Earrings: High Allagan Earrings of Slaying
Bracelets: High Allagan Bracelets of Slaying
Ring 1: Gloam Ring
Ring 2: High Allagan Ring of Slaying


Strength 303.00
Critical Hit Rate 175.00
Accuracy 130.00
Determination 119.00
Skill Speed 89.00

The above stats are purely what's added from gear, not including what your character has naturally.

I'm not sure why but it is saying it's temporarily unavailable for me, can you reupload it somewhere else? Otherwise I can wait til you finish doing whatever to it and upload it again.

Thanks, I really appreciate it.

EDIT 2: Slight updates to BiS sets. Noticed 1 item was wrong in my solver. They're on reddit cause I CBA flooding this page: http://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/commen...goon_bis_sets/

At the new iLevel (specifically the higher STR), CRT and SS have closed the gap slightly to DTR.

WD 8.732
STRDEX 1.000
DTR 0.325
CRT 0.204
SS 0.178

Budget weights between crt/dtr/ss:

DTR: 126%
CRT: 115%
SS: 100%

(DTR on any given item slot is 26% better than SS and 10% better than CRT)

Sidenote: expecting about 75 more DPS from the best gear in the new content compared to old, an increase of roughly 20%.

After an hour or so in new T1 as DRG, had a few misses from side/behind with 463 ACC. Went up to 479 ACC have not missed since from behind/side.
Also the boss fight is not very melee friendly lol much easier as ranged it seems so far at least whole the mechanics are being worked out.

Hey guys, can you tell me how you use AOEs, personally? I read the theory-crafting in the guide, but I'm still deciding how best to use it. For example, using AOEs on turn 4.

Also, can you give example of short burst phases? From what I understand in the guide, is you need a 6-8 skill rotation and that is all you'll have time for, HT-ID-DIS-(FT combo) is the maximum you can get. Is this what people do, and can I have example of when you may use such a combo?

Finally, what do you guys personally do if your rotation is interrupted? For example, if you have to dodge an ability and now your GDCs do not match up with your HT/DIS/CT/PH...it has really been bothering me and I feel like it's the most important place I can start maximizing my DPS is understanding what to do when my rotation is kind of thrown to the side...although I have ideas about it, I'd just like to hear opinions.

Any tips appreciated, as I'm probably switching to play DRG for my static.

Thanks guys

Thanks for those EMX. By any chance could you link your spreadsheet again? I know you posted it in the Damage Formulae thread a while back, but i've lost the link

Also, Good to know that 470 is where we'll be headed for T6.

EDIT: With EMX's new Stat-Weights, Astrum Mail & Arm Guards are BiS for 470, 472, 480, 500 & 520 accuracy.
