Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Krr]

My friend does about 460 - 470 on dummy parses with her novus but she still has some i90 gear on .

Your friend might want to check the validity of her samples. 464 is the theoretical peak for a BiS Dragoon as of 2.3; it is physically impossible to reproduce with a Novus and mixed i90. One of the more popular parsers gives substantially (40-50+ DPS) inflated readings due to its way of reading damage, however, so it may simply be that.

Thats with party buff and food , I dunno tbh our bard also had her 15-20 DPS under me in coil (cept T9) and I'm hitting 490-500 with my Monk being BiS cept the HA claws.

Neither of us have any duties in T8 except like 1 tower every 2 sets.

If it makes any difference she prioritizes Crit > Det > speed

Ahh. Party buff + Food is probably making up the difference I'm thinking of there, then. Never mind me.

Just for curiosity, I beat T10 2 times, I was ilv107 the first time and 110 the second, my dps was about 370/380.
Now i'm 113(/cheer belt drop) what rotation do you use?
I use this one:
HT-ID-Dis-CT-Ph-TT-VT-FT-HT-TT-VT-FT-Ph-ID-Dis-CT-HT-TT-VT-FT-Ph-TT-VT-FT
but sometimes can happen that i miss a heavy trust, not alwas but can happen 1 or 2 in the entire fight
how do you reach 400-430? what is your ilv? do you use craft/pentameld gear?

This week I did 411 DPS on T10 with having to drop 2 blue balls for the charge, casting LB3 and getting killed on the final charge before boss kill due to low DRG magic defense because you get pushed into electric area had to run back, was dead for like 5 seconds, I messed up my rotation twice as well.

I'm i113 no crafted/ gear, never miss HT and tab dot on the adds, dot the Daughter, dot the Son, switch back to daughter and kill, repeat. Use poison and strength potions as well.

If you have your Gap closer up and you use them instantly when you have been pushed back they can save your life.

At least DRGs have sexy armors

I've seen you walking around with that thing and I get jelly :c
Only problem is it has crap stats compared to the poetics chest lol

[HaelseMikiro]

yeah, the DW chest isn't on my BiS list, but since it dropped, that just means that instead of buying the poetics chest next (original plan was to buy spear, chest, boots) now I'll be buying boots next week, and then moving to jewelry. I got the crafted 110 pants, so I'm not in a pressing rush to buy poetics pants until jewelry is done.

[Orlandeu]

I also got drg boots from t12, which also has crap stats but I've decided to use it anyway cuz i130 lol
Also not buying any poetics for Dragoon cuz ninja ((:
