Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[VaShawn]

If you don't intend to penta-meld a Wolfram belt, go with Guardian's belt until HA, but i see you've already made that decision.
The rest of the Guardian pieces are more or worse than the sanded Astrum pieces depending on how much you believe in skillspeed.

How are you finding out what my gear is? That's crazy

What should I do first? Replace weathered belt with guardian belt? Replace astrum body with guardian body for det boost? Replace astrum hands with guardian hands for more det? Replace astrum legs with guardians legs?

Replacing BiS 110 body, 110 gloves, 110 leggins with non BiS 100 gears? U MAD M8?

Remember gearing wise, u need to reach ACC CAP 1st, with full DET best gears available atm, u can reach 402 DET (insane ikr) at the cost of 449 ACC aka u will still miss a lot even doing T1 let alone T2-9

Aye, that's why I said it depends on the situation. Or rather, on the group. As of last time, he still has to catch up with me (DRG) and the BLM - so in the end, it's better if at least one of the melees can stay on the target as much as it can. I didn't check if the BLM actually used Quelling, but in case he didn't it might make sense to try and Elusive to leave the 2nd aggro spot to him to help him keep both GL and up-time.

Edit: "he", I meant the monk in my static. Pfff. Who needs subjects anyway.

Interesting is ur MNK DPS is 450+? Cuz our 450 DPS MNK can't even beat the threat generated by our crazy WHM (capable of almost solo heal t9)

[Empressia]

Is it alright that I focus my equipment on CRT rate over Skill Speed and (sometimes) accuracy? What's the minimum would say to have the accuracy stat at?

And last question: do HT and IR stack?

Thanks!

1. t1 t2 450, t4 475, t5 475 -480, t6 t7 t8 495, t9 495 - 515 (on p4)

2. yes ALL damage buffs stack

3. SKS = u can "steal opportunity" of landing an extra of 1-2 hits (3 if lucky) on boss at the cost of burning tp faster and may die ridiculiously when u try to force the 3rd or 4th hit greedily , cap wise though max SKS allows u to reduce gcd by 10% or all ur skills gcd is on 2.25s instead of 2.50s

4. problem with CRIT is we can't reach 25% crit rate hard cap (621 crit rating) with only 20% crit rate (550 crit rating) available on gears atm , add to that our freaking high cooldown full burst rotation and the RNG GOD bless or curse u!

Our WHM manages enmity carefully. If he didn't, our tank would lose aggro during the fight, what with Dreadnaughts/Brainjacks/Mines interrupting his enmity generation in each phase. I myself come very close to stealing aggro in that fight.

In terms of DPS, I really wouldn't know. Thing is, each time I read something in this forum about DPS I always see numbers way (like, WAY) higher than those that our healer's parsers say. Like, you say 450 for our MNK? He averages 350 according to the parser. The rest of us rarely reaches 400+. And yet I even hear MNKs doing 500 or stuff like that. I don't even care anymore at this point.

We can easily skip the last set of towers during the second phase and if we don't mess up we can skip the last ballistic missile that usually comes before Allagan field as well - so we can't be doing that bad, right? We do know however that our MNK can and should be doing better, but I can't really imagine him doing 100 more DPS. We would skip way more of the fight, is it possible?

It depends on a lot of factors. Assuming he's doing the standard rotation/priority for MNK in an acceptable fashion, it depends on how geared he is, how many duties you give him, if there's another Dragon Kick user, if he's getting Selene, if he gets enough Army's Paeon, stuff like that. A decently played MNK with maxed out gear and another MNK giving Dragon Kick can consistently go above 500 if given no duties, but it's quite acceptable to be closer to 400-450, if you've got i110 weapon but less gear and some duties.

1 weapon damage is equivalent to 8 str, and Liberator is more than enough for farming t9

Ahh thanks for that.
Finally after 4+ months my final atma pieces have dropped all in one day, figures
So i went with the atma Gae Bolg and currently on book #3, still wondering if i should have just got the Liberator, lol.
Also this week debating if i should get the ST boots? I am saving up my soldiery to get the weathered piece atm
I have weathered gloam ring, St belt, allagan earrings and bracelet, all the rest is the myth gear

[EllPii]

...Snip

The pieces that are worth getting from ST are the Head, Chest, Belt and Legs.

The WA sabatons are your best bet for this week, coupled Guardian chest/breeches from ST and Moogle ribbon, will definitely give you an accuracy boost and allow you to switch to Allagan spear until you get your Animus.
It would also probably be in your best interest to farm for Allagan gauntlets T2, and Allagan trousers T1 (Both acc + det).
At that point, I would probably switch Allagan visor/Guardian Helm. I would also consider farming for a gorgeous Ramuh ring.

I'm actually embarrassed this dude is on my server. Not just for his poor attitude, but his borderline Down Syndrome-esque grammar.

there

One day I'll be sorry for not givin out to all the elitist persons such as yourself in this thread that little something more.

Guess what, we all put efforts in our classes and personnal gameplay, on top of that I don't like to strictly follow what has been written by others. Never did, never will. Then again its not like I didn't give any hint away, even told to a well known Dragoon on Exodus some insight about how to toy with what I was edvocatin in my earlier post and he found by himself.

So, if a piss poor attitude actually consist to not publicly writtin down things but still helpin people to aim in the right direction by directly talkin to them on the live server, I'm kinda glad to not stick to your downright insultin, haughty vision of how things have to be and I certainly don't feel bad about it.

"look at this jerk, haha, its not even worth to talk to him and Ill throw my glove on his silly face so he hide it when I walk next by to his presence"
