Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[zeth07]

You must've selected something wrong, or checked the "enable" in the wrong column. For me, without the Weathered Gloam choker shows the second set you posted with the Hero's Belt + Ring of Maiming (707 weight). Once I enabled the Weathered Gloam Choker, it instantly used it and gave me 497 acc, 431 CRT, 311 DTR, 404 SS (710.403 weight)

That's strange, I'm sure I'm doing it correctly since every other piece works correctly, even the Ribbon above it and the Gloam Choker below it or any other item in other slots. The one thing I noticed was I didn't update the WD stat weight but that didn't change setups just actual weight numbers.

Any other idea what might cause the problem? If not, can you re-post the solver you're using so I can at least rule out something being wrong with the solver I'm using, as if I changed something I shouldn't have.

Thanks

So I never got my drop for the T5 boots so I decided to craft the i90 boots and over meld them. From the stat weightings, it looks like they they may be better than the high allagan or the upgraded soldiery. The stats on the crafted overmelded boots are: str 18, vit 20, det 15, acc 18, crit 21, and ss 15. Even though the high allagan and soldiery have more str, I think these are a better balanced approach... Am I crazy?

yes you are. in this game iLVL or you Main stat is infinitely better then anything else. 6 str is equivalent to 50 of other stats, without taking in account of weapon damage scaling.

this is what our DRG melds if you interested, it is about a 30~ DPS increase on T8 compared to standard "bis" i90.

Slightly off the above topics, but anyone have a screen shot of the Liberator?



Edit : Thanks, FantasyForever. Very nice looking spear.

This is the upgraded Liberator, hence the glow effect~

I'll be getting my weathered liberator this week.

weathered version just does not have the glow to it.

Nightreach, I thought that this was the stat weightings are from the first page of this thread...

Weapon Damage: 8.732
Strength: 1
Determination: .325
Crit: 0.204
Skill Speed: .178

So 6 str = 18 det = 29 crit = 33 SS

The melded i90 crafted boots math works out to be:
Str 18 x 1 = 18
Det 15 x .325 = 4.875
Crit 21 x .204 = 4.284
SS 15 x .178 = 2.67
Total = 29.829 (with 18 Acc)

The Astrum Sabatons are:
Str 24 x 1 = 24
Det 12 x .325 = 3.9
Crit 0 x .204 = 0
SS 0 x .178 = 0
Total = 27.9 (with 25 Acc)

The Hgh Allagan are:
Str 24 x 1 = 24
Det 18 x .325 = 5.85
Crit 0 x .204 = 0
SS 18 x .178 = 3.20
Total = 33.05 (with 0 Acc)

The high allagan are clearly strongest, but the lack of acc and the unnecessary SS would have me leaning towards the crafted piece. Some one please correct if I am calculating this wrong so then I can go shoot myself.

Hit Enrage in Turn 7...everyone died, including the boss. Got a screenshot as proof lol

Healer Robes and Bracelets dropped.

My group has me getting the Tomestone next week (not this week coming up, the next one, so third in the group) since I can't buy my weapon for two weeks anyway, but our MNK and SMN can this coming week (BRD is last) Tanks got the Oil since healer got lucky.

So yay, onto Turn 8. Having fun trying to optimize my gear for it with what I have (can't rely on more Coil2 drops after all). Just need my Allagan Boots for the set I think is best, but the stupid dragon won't give them up...

I feel your pain on those boots. Luckily the high-allagan boots dropped this week on t7, so I no longer have to think about those boots again. XD

That said, have fun on t8! it's a lot of fun. To me the mechanics on t7 are just annoying, while t8's are very enjoyable.

I killed Twin 5 or 6 times since my last post (and Moogle Mog twice; got my Ribbon )...no boots. Can't even remember what everything was either, I'm so tired...but 5-DPSing Twin is fun lol.

And we're planning on solo-tanking T8.
