Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[AugustusSB]

How do you go from Weathered Liberator to Liberator?

EDIT: Crap read it wrong.

Think you get the Sands of Time from Coil, then go to Hrystmill and there's a guy who will upgrade it there

[QUOTE=SeraviEdalborez;2012972]Sort of related to another thread ("What Makes You a Top DPS Player?"), but wanted to brainstorm:

In regards to Levi ex fight:

"First, on the subject of sliding: the Head is able to be attacked a little sooner (~1 GCD) than the tail during/after Body Slam. Time enough for a HT > Phleb > cross over, maybe lose ~.2 to .5 seconds of GCD time."

I agree with attacking the head first with phleb since it pops a little sooner than the tail. If you're close enough you can get a phleb in on the head as your sliding down, then elusive jump to the other side right as the tail is popping (careful not to go off the edge in later phases) Also when you're sliding down on the phase right before the single add, do a phleb to the head then SSD to the tail, start a rotation, then DFD to single add and finish rotation. SSD isn't as necessary for the single add cause you don't want to ruin the stun resist.

I love this fight. Show me 'dem backflips!!

Get the Sands of Time from Turn 8, then go to Gerolts Assistant.

Ahh I see, so the same type of deal as with the fabled "mirrors" from Levi EX.

Sands of Time is a guaranteed drop from Turn 8. A single one though.

[Sygmaelle]

Well of course, but SSD/DFD aren't up all the time.

They are for orbs if you don't waste them just wait for bodyslam when you are dpsin spumes and jump straight, you won't even be affected by it.

Ahh I see, so potentially up to 12 weeks before you get everything you need....

meh

<--really doesn't like anything about the new gear..

Well, the idea is you get some H-Allagan gear and but some soldiery gear on the side to supplement, with priority probably going to maintaining your accuracy cap whilst increasing your ilv.

Also, don't forget you gotta actually buy the soldiery items with soldiery tomes, so even if the team you were with decided to pass you the sands every kill for 12 weeks, you wouldn't be able to buy something to wear every week :P

Yeah, I just meant that if you wanted every soldiery "myth" item upgraded from weathered it would take at least 12 weeks of T8 kills.

Sidenote: Why are people so hung up on Leggings vs Ring vs Boots/Chest?

The Weathered Liberator(465.452 DPS WEIGHT) = Upgraded LEVI Weapon (Tidal Wave Harpoon(462.279 DPS WEIGHT).

I would imagine the best use of your soldiery items provided you trust your coil group to be able to down T8 would be to buy a weathered liberator and then upgrade it to liberator.

bam.. 2nd best weapon in game and a massive dps boost (Liberator (488.682 DPS WEIGHT)) only second to High Allagan(most likely T9 with a 511.088 DPS weight)

[EDIT] with how horrible a drop rate mirrors have it would seem that saving 1300 soldiery tomes might for the w. liberator might be a good idea
