Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Aeromat]

Damn 570 on T11? Sheeeeit

Just barely did 500 on T10, got 3 Wild Charge blue balls though.

t11 is pretty much an easier striking dummy now ^^

Hey there. Had a skim through the last few pages, but there's too many to go through :P

What's the general consensus on the crafted i110 stuff? I've crafted as a few pieces for my DRG, but i'm not sure how they stack up against the i120/130 gear.

another week with 0 drops

least I did 570 in t11 and 482 in t13

still i122 this game sucks

Damn did you go even further beyond?

Hat and belt are awesome! Hat only needs 6 det to reach crit/det cap! ( I don't bother with skillspeed melding though )

I got the chest too since I was rocking the ST chest and plan to buy blm chest next with my poetics. But I bought the poetics pants and shoes since they are just droolsome and I might just stick with the old soldiery gloves since they are great, not sure yet. Coil stuff goes to my bard so this is the plan of a non-raiding drg I guess xD

Do read previous pages though!

Oh guys, how were i90 accessories back in the day for dragoons? I was too poor to even consider such things at the time. I'm curious if the upcoming 110 meldable accs will be a better option than poetics, slaying accs don't seem great xc Good for accuracy though of course.

how is practice supposed to affect gcd timing

Confirming. Assuming you never delay GCDs, HT, Disembowel, and CT will be just fine due to the delay induced by the animation.

Clipped GDC with the second jump, that's how it lines up. It's cheating, dumb, doesn't work in raid situations due to selene and something I do not recommend doing as it gives you no gains in terms of DPS. That's my "teehee practice"

I do it so I can practice my presses and muscle memory of FT/CT & LS rotating for when I am at a lower SkillSpeed. My SS should plummet this week so I wanted to be ready for it.

No sooner do I complain about drops on the Internet when in one day I get the chest (too late to help anything), belt (yay), and two carbontwines (BiS weirdness, other DPS didn't have body pieces ready for upgrade). i123 THANKS YOSHIDA

I can safely say from experience that with full i110 left side, DRGs didn't really need i90 melds for T6 savage (lots of physical damage, most of it requiring AoE heals; in fact, nobody on my team used any) or T7 savage (lots of physical damage, mechanics far more fatal than HP checks except on fireball targets) in 2.3x. T8 and T9 savage are different beasts and I never went in.

For FCoB pre-2.45, they might have helped with T10-T12 but were by no means necessary: I didn't use 'em, even with minimal left-side gear, and we even found ways I could survive the crit Nerve Cloud that first week. T13, well, so much has already been said about how dragoons were a liability there.

The next level of crafted accessories will likely be superior from a stat weight point of view, though if they follow the same trends they will be loaded with a ton of skill speed. I'd like to see the accessories be like the silver/mythril/electrum/rose gold set with str/dex/acc built in instead of the gem'd variety which is more or less class specific.

Damn did you go even further beyond?

GDI.. Now I gotta watch the majin buu saga over again :P

[SunnyHirose]

It's a little odd how the gemstone STR accessories are more generally appropriate for tanks, hehe. I like how I can now pop into a dungeon with my ruby accessories (made for T13 pre-buff) and High Allagan hand-me-downs and give the false impression that I know what I'm doing.
