Dreadwyrm Bow, this week. Spear yet eludes me.

When we do finally raise the level cap in the future, Skill Speed will play an even bigger role there.

Found this. lolwhat. Are you mad? Are they seriously going to consider making me TP drained within the first minute of the fight?

Let's get this right. If we assume the stat differences for every 10 levels are similar, difference of SS between level 40-50 is 97. So, we can assume to have a 450SS base for 3.0... GDC of 2.396.

We can expect, when geared, to have a GDC of 2.2-2.1, nearly that of the current MNK/NIN. Fuarrk.

So if they actually make it "more important".... ugh

Well, at base SS of ~446, you should expect to still have a GCD of 2.50 seconds. At that point we'll have to determine how much SS goes into reducing your GCD by .01 all over again, as all the math will be different.

I hope that is the case. I'd absolutely hate it if the level 60 stats to actually affected SS...

Finally downed Phoenix last night, with a little bit of luck we might start training T13 at last. Any tips for the first two phases I should probably know before getting slaughtered?

The initial burst is tricky, depending on how your tanks pull, the first Jump can land you right inside the Megaflare red pool, so be carefull. With some tries you'll get used and find the optimal burst.

Also, usually my 2nd (or 3rd? o.O) Blood for Blood come out of CD just before the second Earth Shatter Mark. So don't use it untill someone is marked or, in case you get the mark, do the mechanics before using it.

Our Paladin casts Cover on me whenever I get that mark (except if I get first and second, Cover will be on CD) so the shatter don't leave the pool, and allow you to continue atacking the boss. If you don't get the first mark and for the second your PLD has Cover up, just pop your CDs normaly. For the rest, just read that guides.

I think Yoshi-P is planning to change how SS works due to the complaints about how imbalanced it is, rather than just giving us more of it in its current state.

This is too good to me true.

Hey guys, now that Carbon Twines are available outside of Final Coil (and WoD is here), are the upgraded Poetics gloves a better choice than the Astrum ones? This is my gear currently. I don't need any additional accuracy for now, so I'm only really interested in gloves that would improve my damage.

Any viable pieces? Or am I better waiting until I get the Dreadwyrm ones from Final Coil?

[Aiurily]

the upgraded poetics gloves would definitely be better, yes. the current drg bis non-crafted uses all leftside poetics except the belt, so it'd fit well into that if you want to go for that build vs crafted builds with higher weights

the belt/necklace are probably the worst poetic items for dragoon, but they're still better than 110 soldiery at 120 likely, 130 definitely.
