Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[FantasyForever]

0 miss in turn 8 @479 hit btw, of course only side and rear attacks were used

That is drastically lower than the 495ish accuracy that's been going around. Maybe you just got lucky?

How long did you... "test" for?

I had them.....

Must've misunderstood your post, sorry

Despite the belt dropping T9, I'm not going to bother buying the Sol belt. The stats are meh (Acc/SS) and even though it does give 5 STR, there are better things to spend Sol on. 2.3 will probably add some more i100 armor (CT2) and it may be at that point that I have the Sol for the belt anyway, and...

I have the High Allagan Gauntlets as well, and will be buying the Sol gauntlets soon-ish (next is Liberator, then Ring, then Gloves or Feet, then other) since they, and the feet, are BiS. However, I may go get Sol gear for another job (WAR most likely) first, since I'll need Sands to get them upgraded to replace High Allagan, and then buy the Hands/Feet when I get Sands to use them (though if I don't get the Allagan feet from T7 by the time I have the Sol after getting my Ring I'll buy those first)

I got sol legs and ring. So what's next? Ilvl 93 now. Sol hands?

Boots, or Wristlets.

I hope this is the right place for this, if not I'm sorry. There seems to be something fundamentally wrong with my rotation, which is odd because I'm following this guide more or less to the letter. I'm ilvl 90 and using the Gae Bold zenith. When I check my DPS at the dummy, I struggle to break 300. I usually go until I run out of TP so I know the duration is consistent. This is my exact rotation:

HT-sweep-ID-IR-Dis-BfB-PS-CT-jump-Ph-TT-VT-Ls-FT-HT-TT-VT-FT-Ph-ID-Dis-CT-HT-TT-VT-FT-Ph-TT-VT-FT

When I'm just parsing at the dummy I'll weave the other jumps in whenever they're up. If someone could shed some light on this I'd greatly appreciate it.

one thing, don't put multiple off-gcds in between gcds

Here's what is recommended:

HT-IR-ID-BFB-DiS-PS-CT-Jump-PH-Sweep-TT-(Spineshatter)-VT-LS-FT(DF)

That's how you should do your burst. If you're not breaking 300, then you're doing something terribly wrong somewhere. You're doing the optimal rotation of H-IDC-P-TTT, H-TTT-P-IDC-H-TTT-P-IDC, so the only thing I can really say is that you're just not being quick enough with your skills, or thinking too much about the rotation, thus breaking the fluidity. With i90 on a dummy you should be 330 stable-ish.

Save your jumps for your bursts, or your friend isn't "testing" you properly.

You are so right. Virtually impossible for us gamepad users

Hi everyone,
I only recently found out about this thread, and i'm stuck with what to do with my gear. I'm still quite new to this game.
Up until now i've basically just done my own thing, tried to stack ACC and CRIT as much as possible, based on what i thought DRG to be; a short burst class.
Until I found out about this thread, and realised i should've been doing something else.
My plan was just to continue farming CRIT gear, and sink some Solderies in W.A Gloves/Accessories, while pumping up my Atma wep.

I have also have Allagan body, and Myth feet in invo.
Anything <H.A I will probably be able to hunt.

I need a bit of help with Pre-Second coil set-up, so that i'll be ready to start farming for the BiS set.

Much appreciated,
Thanks.
