Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

I'd be interested in what you think of my gear Dervy.

The accuracy is low, but seeing as I haven't entered Final Coil yet it's fine for the moment (party bonus takes me up to 514 acc). I cleared T9 the other night with no misses so I think 514 is the limit. No skill speed on my gear currently either which I like. I think I may equip the HA Gloves for now, I'd lose a bit of Crit and Det but it would add enough Accuracy for the first few turns of Final Coil.

T9 accuracy is 492 I think anyway. Just pop lava toad legs HQ and you'll be at 353 accuracy for T13, so that's fine. T10 is like 492, T11 is 505 and T12 is 525? So you're right within the accuracy ranges with your gear.

The gears fine. Nice rounded Crit, 350 DET without food is impressive. I would say the belt needs to get remelded though. The 19 skillspeed meld on the Kirimu belt is what makes it BiS over the Dreadwyrm Belt. So if you do keep it as it is, it will get replaced, otherwise, remeld Max IVs.

492 is the flank cap, but in T9 you'll need to hit from the front a lot, so I use the tank accuracy cap which is 514 I believe. That's what I am basing that accuracy figure on.

I can't say I know a lot about Final Coil, but hopefully I'll only ever need to reach the flank accuracy cap. The frontal ones are very high, and I can't imagine I could reach them without using accuracy food, and I would obviously prefer to just pop a HQ Black Truffle Risotto instead to improve my DPS. As for the belt, I don't think I could afford to remeld it. Not at the moment anyway.

Same with T11 - you'll want a bit more accuracy than the flank cap, so you can still hit when Kaliya is turning.

What's your party makeup? You shouldn't need to attack from the front much at all if your party adjusts just a little. I guess if you are the only melee DPS and you group doesn't want to adjust any tactics it's alright, but if you have two melee there's no reason to stack in the front and hurt DPS to that degree. There's really no sense in forcing melee to attack from the front for an extended period in the final phase during that fight.

Yeah there's no need to attack from the front at all, I'm doing about 480 DPS on T9 @ i120 with Longinus.

Funny story. I went in last night to help some FC mates get their T12 before reset so they'd at least get a shot at a treasure chest. On the kill run I parsed about 460, which I thought was a little low but aw well... what I didnt realize was before we went into the turn, I had the wrong head gear on. I was showing off my recently purchased Kabuto Helms before we went in and like an idiot, I kept the Lvl 1 Kabuto helm on instead of my i110 Penta-Melded Wootz helm!! I lost 24 str, 18 Det, 25 Crit, 6 SS, and a bunch of Acc. Although I still pulled top dmg by about 50dps... Anyone else ever do equally as stupid stuff lol?

[Dervy]

I did a similar thing pre-T5 twister nerf was the dogs bollocks. We were doing our usual T1-4 clear, and one night we were absolutely stuck on Turn 2. We couldn't meet DPS checks and we couldn't understand how we went from one-shotting it, to meeting the enrage timer...

Guess who wasn't wearing any accessories lmao.
