How to Dragoon per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[aleph_null]

You can skip the lv 58 quest until you reach 60, but the lv 60 skill is important so you'll still have to do the lv 58 quest later.

Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but while leveling to 60, does it make sense to skip wheeling thrust quest at 58? It seems to me that the skill is simply bad, because it does identical damage to fang&claw, but once you get it, whether you get fang&claw or wheeling thrust becomes a coin toss and you must adjust your positioning after each coin toss. Before you get wheeling thrust, you get fang&claw 100% of the time, meaning you don't have to reposition due to any coin toss.

Is there anything wrong with my reasoning?

If not, I am actually thinking about skipping both level 58 and 60 skill quests because I don't want to suffer wheeling thrust.

Its really easy to get used to and makes the rotation alot more fun so might aswel get it now and practice, thats what dummies are for.
you will only get abuse from people in DF and i wouldnt wish that on anyone

Was still hoping for a fix for the Wheeling Thrust & Fang and Claw procs..I mean randomness..I mean 50/50 chance..I mean @5#$^%&$%!^ probability of it proc'ing on the flank or the rear...

SE! Y DEW DIS?!

Wait..wut? Dude..do the quests, get the skills, and practice..practice..practice. Learn the rotation on a practice dummy, then practice some more in Stone,Sky,Sea, practice in dungeons, raids, trials... But do the quests and get the skills.

RIP our Alex Weapon and Sophia weapon lol

So what are you guys planning on getting? And what is bis atm since ariyala isn't updated? Dervy's ghost respond pls

[BalmungAzuresky]

Same here. Bit surprised by the Alex and Sophia Weapon...

I'll wait for experienced DRG to share their thought about what parts we should get first or atleast what's going to help before trying to take down the last floors of Alex (savage).

Put on gear with lots of Strength. That seems to help! :3

(I will probably get around to it if nobody beats me to the punch, but it's a lot of gruntwork and there is raiding to git dun)

You can't fix what isn't broken to begin with. This discussion has been had a 100 times.

Hey guys,

did any of you try to create a BIS-List? I came up with this in a few minutes: http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/VMSD
Aiming for about 740-750 accuracy (expecting a12s to be somewhere in this figure) and trying to get my sks to ~600 since this is the sks I'm most commfortable with for raiding.

Still I'm not really happy with it... would love to have more crit and I couldn't really make the 275 weapon work without dropping crit to ~800...

I'm curious to what you guys are thinking

Cheers,
Sirius
