Some Advice?~

Darklight Weaponry is in Wanderer's Palace, and possibly Amdapor Keep now, after the final boss. There are some Lv 70 weapons that can be compared to Garuda's drops that you can craft or buy on the market board. They may be pricey, depending on the server. Most are roughly 60k-80k on mine, but those are HQ.


Can the golem adds be stunned? If you can, then get Heavy Thrust and/or Disembowel up and you'll do a *lot* more damage to them. Worst to worst, get Heavy Thrust up from the boss when you see an add coming. And make sure you do the combos. Sounds silly to say but it's very common for Dragoons to not do them. Don't forget to use your Jumps between GCDs and power them up when you can. Now, you won't be able to do the Impulse to Chaos combo if you can't get behind it (unless you take a pot shot to the boss and finish the combo off on the add), but True Thrust to....the name totally escaped me....(with Life Surge if you can) will take a big chunk out of its life. Try to avoid Blood for Blood if your healer isn't good, but if you can count on him/her, it'll help.

Keep Heavy Thrust up as much as you can, use cooldowns as necessary, and always make sure you're doing your combo rotations, and your DPS will keep up just fine. And don't panic if you have a couple bad runs. Everyone was new once, and though most people have run AK and WP ad nauseum they just don't have the patience anymore, there are more that will understand.

@myahele: I'll try it soon then o:
@KikInperi : That also sounds really good o: I would have doubted that kind of nicety with this community but just today someone crafted and melded my champion spear I needed for my relic quest for free and even offered to help at Dhorme Chimera and did *-* Shout out to King Oppa!
@Rhindas: That's the problem, I did .-. I may not know the "pro" or "ultimate" rotation, but here is what I normally do at bosses or mobs in general:
If Mob is being tanked by another = Heavy Thrust, Impulse Drive to Combo Dismbowl and Chaos Thrust > Phlem-whatever > True Thrust (not logged in so forgive me if I get the names wrong >>; ) > Power Surge in between global cd > Vorpal Thrust > Jump > Full Thrust > repeat.
Attacking a mob aggroing me > Either The long jump that stuns the opponent or Leg Sweep to stun > Impulse Drive to Combo Disembowl then Chaos Thrust > Leg Sweep (if not used so that I can get a heavy thrust in) or just Phlem > Then same thing I just said above. True Thrust > Power Surge for +Jump damage > Vorpal Thrust > Jump > Full Thrust. But I was killing pretty slowly anyways x.x Just have Drachen Set atm with a dark light helm and belt and the lvl 50 Serpent SPear.

Edit: Was told Amdapor is easily do-able in the 50 armor set you get for job quests but I still really felt like I lacked any real damage. I also don't use blood for blood on fights with unavoidable AoE's though out of fear of pointless waste of heals from the healer lawl

Oh, definitely. In fact it's often the case that I send a /tell to the person shouting for help almost immediately, only to get a reply like "Thanks a lot but somebody else already offered =)"

There's a lot of nice people in the community, they just don't tend to be as vocal/noticeable as all the jerks =P
