Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Dervy]

Everything on the 1st page is what you should be following if you're still beginning to learn the Job.

At level 32, your rotation is nothing more than H P TTT on repeat. If you have Fracture (from MRD), it'll be H P F TTT. Once you reach 50, then give fracture the boot, and use everything posted on the OP.

Depend on people i guess but for me,chest as first purchase is not a good idea.There is others items who are better.

According to stats weight, yes, the Wyrm Mail it's definitely more dps. We should say, as well, that Gae Bolg Animus which is my actual weapon (I'm still in T6 by the way) gives enough accuracy. The only scenario, in this moment, that would let me consider the purchase of Astrum Mail is switching weapon from Gae Bolg Animus to Liberator but for me it's still a long way to go. On the otherside we should always take in account the amount of soldiery needed for Liberator, so in the long run get the Astrum Mail and be prepeared eventually to a weapon change, sounds reasonable.

I could have used the the hq version of the i90 crafted body but... if for some reason I get a free sand at some point before the t9 body then well hooray i guess XD

Ya i'm at a point where if I get the soldiery legs, I won't meet accuracy cap unless I get more high allagan drops.

I technically have all the soldiery for the 493 bis since I haven't seen my self miss at t8 or t9 at the flank or back with that accuracy yet. Now if I can only actually get drops from coil ;-;, I'm at 6 weeks of t6-8 and 1 week of t9 with only 1 bracelet.

An update in my progress in T8. After I've started using X-Potions, my DPS seems to have went up a consistent 20 DPS(if it seems high maybe I just refined my rotation a bit) bringing me at around 340 DPS for T8 as the brain-jack/homing missile target. Just curious but when are you all making your BRD play Army's Peon in T8? I start to run dry around the time the first brain jack goes out so I've been telling ours to start playing a little bit before that.

Been running 484 ACC in T8 so far and I would sometimes get 3 misses which I assume was me attacking the front of the boss during a wipe or bad dreadnought placement.

Usually I call for paeon after every invigorate, the BRD lets it run for a few ticks and that keeps me topped. If I think I wont make it to my next invigorate I just tell him my TP is bottoming out and he plays for longer. They really ought to add a TP/MP display toggle...

I believe 484 is a little low, I seem to recall having flank misses at 488. I normally run 492 for T8.

I'm actually looking to purchase the Astrum mail and drop my wyrms mail. I have the upgraded liberator and have the soldiery hands, so I am very accuracy starved. I have the high allagan boots but can't use them cause I'll never hit accuracy cap, instead I've had to craft and meld the waist, the pants, and the feet until I have enough soldiery to buy the Astrum body. I'm finding the sweet spot for the first two phases on t9 is just around 491.

Speaking of turn 8, it's rather sickening how much dps my group's summoners are doing. Neither have above the allagan book but hitting 400 dps. The monk and I are more geared. He's around 377 dps and I'm around 350 dps. I do run out for mines and brain jack.

[Sygmaelle]

Meh I got my Liberator and my det is goin so much downhill Im not entirely convinced that weapon damage is really the way to go to do more damage, with ilvl95 weapon I was hittin like 1630 full thrust and now its more about 1550 big maximum ...

Is 400 for the entire fight? that seems really inflated for allagan book smn. Do you have 2 bards with perma foe up lol? 350 for drg, 380 for monk seem like ok numbers for a first time clear with i100 weapons.
