Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[beowulf81]

both chest and legs have det and acc.

plus, they look awesome

[Alpal]

Man I was really looking forward to replacing some of my crafted armor pieces for my DRG with CT gear while I endlessly hope for High Allagan drops. Did the math and every single one of my over-melded pieces of gear is better than their CT counterparts. Now perhaps other people already knew this and I'm late to the party but man what a waste CT is if there were literally 3 different ways to get better gear prior to 2.3. I'll still be doing CT picking up Tomestones and Oils and or whatever else drops but it definitely made me a little sad this morning.

Not sure about overmelded gear since I'm not into that -melding the Novus seems to be gil-consuming enough as it is; however I get the feeling that a lot of the ST gear is going to be a good upgrade pre-T9. Body+Legs [x] provide more DPS weight than Soldiery and even boost Accuracy better, thus giving more space for zero accuracy stuff like Novus full Det-Crit/High Allagan spear/New Ramuh ring. Any thoughts on this?

@Butcherboy I wouldn't put 2 OGCD together CT->Sweep->PS->Phleb->[/QUOTE]

Yeah my bad just look at it meant to type phlebotomize/ps

[Noxotic]

Slight differences, I'll elaborate on my current starting rotation.

PS->HT-->BFB->ID-->IR->Dis-->X-pot->CT-->Jump->PB-->SSD->TT-->Sweep->VT-->LS->FT-->DFD->HT-->Potent Poisoning Potion

- You can Power Surge as you are running in right before you hit with HT
- Power Surge will finish nearly just after Chaos Thrust ends (tight timing)
- BFB will last till 2nd HT hits
- IR will last till VT ends so there's no stacking of IR and LS

@Butcherboy I wouldn't put 2 OGCD together CT->Sweep->PS->Phleb->

Awesome, thank you!

How do we feel about doing less single target damage than BLMs now?

[Herews]

I'm hearing rumors that the Syrcus tower legs are actually BiS over high allagan and unweathered legs, and im also seeing that the belt is BiS until you can get the belt from t9 or so.

the legs are really not.

It's less accuracy and dps than the ha ones.

[Herews]

Also 1 more question. Are any of the unweathered soldiery pieces BiS regardless of t9 kill or not, trying to find something to upgrade with sands.

Anyone else feeling a bit miffed about farming hunts enabling people to get lots of sands/oils per week? Most of my static team are gonna be full BiS in a couple weeks yet drg is mostly high allagan so we are gonna drag behind..waiting weeks (if the HA even drops) for our BiS gear.. doesn't seem very fair to me. What do we need...like two sands and one oil for our post t9 493 acc set? Think this needs to be a bit more balanced..
