dragoon dps in final coil

[Whiston]

By now, everyone should be AT LEAST i125, so you should be pushing at the very base 450.

Lol wut?

Why on earth should everyone be at least i125? Demon gear and liberator is perfectly acceptable gear for holding your own in T10.

I missed the part where he said he had liberator. I was basing that off of the ironnwork spear. Sorry

[Holicccc]

Once you get your iron works weapon you will be hitting 400 easy, so you are in a good place overall. Just practice practice

I think the meaning was more "i125+ is very easy to reach at this point in the game," which is true.

I appreciate all the replies, gives me some expectations for my own performance, if dragoon was my main still (hasn't been my main since like 2.2) I'd probably already have a 135 weapon, which I do on my white mage. It's just me curious on dps with my current gear so I have an idea how much work I need on brushing up on my dps rotations and such.

i think our DRG had around 450 on our first clear, he had i115 spear but ilvl 111-113ish without any crafted gear. so around 430-450 should be a target. since it was week 1 of FCOB he used pots etc.

[Ruri]

What's a good dps # to be at in turn 10?considering left side full demon mail + liberator, and right side being a mix of 110-130, ilvl 120 overall.

I usually do 450+ but am ilvl 126 with ilvl 130 weapon

You can probably pull off around 450 with your current gear, but it comes down to getting our incredibly long rotation right without fail throughout the first phase and then doing adds "properly", meaning Heavy Thrust boss just as Electrocharge lands, Disembowel the Daughter, Chaos Thrust the Son, Phlebotomize the Son, then kill the daughter off with the rest of your rotation before switching to the son. Use Elusive Jump to move over to the second add group and do the same thing all over again. On the second add phase, use Spineshatter Dive or Dragonfire Dive to get to the third add group.

I do around 540 with Aug Magitek and mostly i130 gear so 450 with yours shouldn't be a problem as long as you don't lose too much in the add phase. That said, for T10 and T11 you really don't need more than 400-ish as long as all damage dealers stay above that.

Oh, those tips will come in handy, I will work on making those adjustments and see how high I can get my dps with my current gear, will be 2 weeks before I get another poetic upgrade. I do really appreciate the add phase tips, I'm obviously making errors there, so that's where I can make some immediate improvements.

Hope it helps. Yeah, add phases are make-or-break for DRGs and they can need some extra planning. Generally, Disemboweling the mob that you and your bard will be attacking right now while putting your DoTs on your next target is a good idea. If you put Phleb and CT on your main target it'll probably die before the DoTs finish, which is a waste of damage. Keeping that in mind and using your jumps to move across the battlefield helps a tonne with keeping up DPS in those phases.
