Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Shinryuu8]

guys I desperately need some help...
I've been playing my drg since the pre-release, literally in love with this job, and I'm executing my rotations pretty much perfect in terms of timing and unclipping. HT, Dis, CT, Phl is always on, and the off-cd are used when can (clipping BfB with Surged FT and so on..)
you can see my gear here
right now working on my 5th book for Animus, and I prefer waiting for the next upgrade before deciding on the Liberator (the acc for the relic is pretty nice)

the thing is in t8 for example I'm stuck at 300-310 dps, and I'm always falling 20-30 dps behind mnk. but I'm always surpassing our brd\smn\blm.

after seeing the numbers on this thread I realized that I'm doing something wrong... my Surged FT hitting 1300 max. and on t8 I can't pass the 310 dps.

am I doing something wrong? our parser is broken?
I really wanna get better but there's barely any info about that.

There are a lot of things that can effect T8.
What mechanics are you, yourself dealing with ?
How are you, yourself dealing with the Dread ?
Are you using Pots, if so, what kind ? What food ? Accuracy ?

A lot is going to depend on some of the things listed above. I clicked your link, but you where in Monk gear ^^
As of late, I have only been pulling around 330, but that is with a death each time, cause I am about to beat one of my healers :P
Yes, the accuracy of the Relic is nice, but the hitting power of Lib is much more to my liking. If you have T8 down, I would seriously look at the Lib, if you are still working on T8, I can see the reason to hold off. But more then likely, you will still want to be upgrading to it before you down T9.

ok sorry for now mentioning the mechanics part.
I'm in charge of Brainjack and Homing Missile, but I keep on being melee all the time means my dps won't affected by these mechanics.
and a few secs before dread is up I get my HT, put Phl on avatar and doing one ID before switching to Dread (then I lend on him all the debuffs/DoTs asap)

Right now we're still not using pots cuz we're still on training part (wiping after 40% hp I think)
I use Buttons HQ, and having 496 acc, I got a special window on my HUD to check if I'm missing, didn't saw any miss.
I think once I'll see the the next relic upgrade I'll decide between Lib and Gae, but right now I'm trying to get away from SS as much as possible (cuz 2.2 shove it through our throat)

and yeah sorry about the monk gear... (damn lodestone, refresh already...)

Don't worry about your monk out dpsing you, on a training dummy fight like T8 a mnk should out dps a drg by 8-10%, so your right in line with where you need to be based on your gear.

As for your gear... An ilvl100 weapon will make a huge difference. Whether you choose the i100 animus or i100 weathered liberator is kind of irrelevant until you down T8. After you start getting T8 on farm, then you will definitely want to upgrade to the i110 liberator and work your other gear around the acc issue.
