Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[SolarMisae]

So...with a huge influx of sands/oils from hunts....what should we be using them on?

I have the i100 chest from new CT (never got sold body, upgraded from wyrm's..) and am getting lib this week from T7 tome, used a sand on my astrum hose already, have another for lib when I get it....but lucked my way into a 3rd from book drops.

What should I used this 3rd one on? o.o; Suggestions?

T6 430, t7 varies on shrieks and voices highest achieved 412, t8 440-460 with mechanics, t9 highest clear dps 390 all of this is at item lvl 104 im 106 now maybe ill see better numbers.

pretty much agree with what everyone else is saying. what ever your using to produce your numbers is most likely not correctly counting downtime between phases and mechanics. 390 on T9 with Golem switching dive bombs and navigating the occasional loss of flank and rear with fire and thunder is totally inflated.

Lol ok bud. You keep thinking that and I dont miss any flank or rears in last phase, not sure what you are doing but i dont have to miss any of those. Im not here to agrue with anyone but dont tell me my numbers are inflated just because you cant reach those, next thing you know you guys will say my smn cant do similiar numbers. All i can say is try harder.

Looks like we got another longnu on our hands.

Who?

Anyway, I've always wondered about 'settings'. Seems like act is the most used one and I haven't used app in a while cause I feel that the ui is a major pain to deal with even though the widget seems to be nicer looking and after a while it just soaks up so much ram. Act has that encounter break setting where the default is 6 seconds and lots of people leave it at that. Some people I know used to report whatever last encounter act is giving them and since some fights have different lengths of time of encounter breaks, sometimes the numbers they mention is different to mine. Me and people I play with ended up settling on 16 seconds but what's the standard supposed to be anyway, if there's even one?

I go for a minute, ensuring there's never enough downtime to change the fact that you're checking your DPS from the time the fight starts to the time the boss is dead. It's the only way to consistently check your number against others and more importantly yourself from encounter to encounter.

Yes and every time you reply people only doubt you more and more as you offer zero constructive feedback as you how your avoiding downtime that most aren't. Unless your group isn't stacking thunders and fire out's behind the boss during Lunar Dynamo in the last phase then I find it unrealistic that you have 100% up-time with disembowel and Chaos thrust. Flank is more realistic as the flank of the boss is rather wide and can hit from a slight angle in the front section.

and again we come back to all the other unavoidable downtime in this fight such as Meteor Stream, Dive Bombs, first Green Meteor Placement, then the 6 meteor placement phase followed by the second Green Meteor placement. ALL of which your DPS should be dropping during the course of time in which these are happening.

then there's the Golem phases in which generally you won't realisticly be able to putt out 100% of your dps potential due to lack of health on them and some times having to hold DPS on the second and third ones if there not fed as fast as they are dieing depending on meteor placement on the map.

That was by far not our best run either, I just wanted to show you even on a bad run i do more than 330 the other guy was speaking of. I would give constructive feedback If as soon as i told my numbers i was instantly doubted. I only posted on this forum to let someone know that Dragoons can be the best in ever turn of coil, and to let someone that is mis informed know that mnk+bard is not better than drg+bard. Yes monk is 8% more damage, but if you know anything about mmos math doesnt apply in PVE, its all about the player behind that class(with the exception of t8 if no mechanics are involved). Anyways good luck happy raiding.
