Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

I use which ever is up and weave them in between gcd.

It's overtime that skill speed starts to have value though because it's at that point that you are actually getting in extra attacks.

I did some napkin math a while back, and 2.49 GCD to 2.39 GCD is something like 11 extra attacks in 10 mins. Not exactly thrilling.

Hello, long time reader first time poster.

Thank you for making this topic and thanks to everyone posting in here. The dragoon community is so strong! I originally picked dragoon because I felt it was the cloest thing I could get to as my samurai in XI and I am having a lot of fun with it despite the bad stigma it seems to have. It always feels good to impress people with my dragoon because of all the hate it gets and it just makes me want to play it more and become better.


When I first hit 50 I had no idea and was kind of doing my own thing which was ok, but as soon as I started following this topic I feel like I've become so much better and have learned a lot.

Super excited for 2.3 and how the gear will effect DRG, I think a lot of it will replace astrum, and it looks pretty badass too!

Same (Actually I started as PGL but couldn't resist the playing LNC after I got my hands on it)

Yeah, I haven't dabbled with all the high-skill speed gear, and don't really want to if I don't have to.

How will the gear replace astrum? Do you mean weathered astrum?

My static is still getting their weapons, I'll take some non-SS i100 left-side in the meantime, /shrug. Hell, it's possible for i100 to outweigh i110 due to secondary stats, right? There were a couple CT1 pieces that had higher stat weights than their i90 counterparts.

It's such a long road to BiS in 2.2+ with all these sands and oils, in between gear seems more relevant.

The i100 helm could possibly be bis for some sort of no accuracy set you use for old dungeons if it's got no accuracy.

I am thinking (hoping) that the helm and pants will give some determination.

It would be really nice if CT2 gear was upgradable to i110, too. Since I'm sure we'll be limited to 1 drop per week, and you can also get sands/oil in CT2, it really doesn't affect the rate at which you'd be able to increase your ilvl. Probably won't happen.. but it would be sweet!

So I am the homing missle and brain-jacked guy for T8, I feel the bard should at least do brain jacked? I'm doing about 340 to 360 dps on pulls while doing both jobs. Input? Got T8 to below 10% a few times.
