Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[snowybell]

The clear winners of the soldiery question are the pants and ring. I'd lean towards pants for left-side Vitality upgrade.

The rest is a bit up in the air, depending on "what you can't get until T9" and what the exact acc caps / targets are.

Current consensus seems to be roughly 470-47x for T6. I suspect that's the same for all turns, but it might not be.

Hello, could i have some input on why the pants? I understand the ring, but is skill speed a new thing now?
Thanks! Still torn on whether to spend the 900 sold

Due to how itemisation works, the weathered pants gives you an overall stronger set upgrade, in comparison to everything else. Then, depending on the gear you have, it's either the gloves, or boots. But, i110 gloves frop Turn 6, so boots are probably a better option.

yeah had to get boots and neck, because I basically still had myth version of both of them and I would have had issues in t6 at 450ish accuracy I think

So I got like +1 acc (which make me sit now at 473) - 16 crit +20 det by doin so, which I'm by no mean sad about 333 det without t5 lance / levi ex weapon and not usin food, is pretty neat

When you look about it, pants and chest got inverted stats compared to Wyrm chest + allagan pants

So if I have the exact items in the t5 bis (except spear. I'm using the wave harpoon. Got my boots but just no spear.) the recommended change would be the pants or boots?

Some people may disagree, but for T6 @ 473 accuracy, for me, the boots would be best after itemisation. If you want to use the Astrum Hose (Legs), with higher accuracy requirements, you'll need to purchase another Astrum piece to complement the loss off accuracy.

This is my problem buying Astrum right now.

Get the hands or legs, I need something else (body or feet) to get the Acc back up.

Next week it will be easier, being able to buy complimentary pieces...

Yeah basically need pants and chest ;_;

Ok everyone I finally manage to buy HQi90 drg body here's the stat
29str
34 acc
17+6(melded) deter=7.475str
+33(melded) crit=6.732str which gives a total str of 43.207 compare that to suit of astray mail which gives a total of 44.162 str. So pretty close and it's better than weathered Astram. I'm happy with it so far. So what do u guys think.

Far too much non-refundable gil to be spent on marginal returns, in my opinion.

But hey, I've you got the gil to toss around, go for it.

Ah thanks, i calculated, if i take away the -34 accuracy from my trousers of maiming, and change it to the weathered pants, i would still be sitting around 474 accuracy (without food), i could bump that up with food definitely.
Could probably bump that up with a gloam ring in the next week.

Is it a good idea to swap pants if i can maintain the acc cap? (47x-ish)
My gear set is this, except i'm using wave harpoon.
