How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[PheonixCain]

Uh... Are you sure you actually missed, or it wasn't a case where you attacked the mob and casted a skill which executed after it died, forcing ACT to mark it as a miss?. Our Monk runs 587 Accuracy and has never missed.

yes, i am on ps4, so i dont have ACT, and i saw a big giant "MISS" on the add's head, and ACT also marked that as miss too
well, it's not happening allll the time, only very rarely

when should i use my jumps when they are back up? and how about leg sweep

Dervy...your hat...I can't stop staring.

I also change my whole opener just for A3. Works out pretty nicely. Plus allows me to get full use out of GK, and allows for 4-5 GK on double hands.

I'm working on changing mine too..I find I was using GK between VP and FT in opener but finding I can't get off as many GKs as I am holding it so BoTD doesn't drop off when boss changes to a hand. My pop it after combo 1 and see how that goes

You can actually let BotD drop every phase change as it will be up before you can hit the boss again. If you keep BotD up say from first phase transitioning into hand phase, that means you're only hitting the boss with 2 Geirskoguls when you can just blow a third before hand phase and have BotD off cool down for the next phase.

H - ID(BotD)C - 4th(Geir) - P -TTT - 4th - H - IDC - 4th - TTT - 4th(Geir) - P - IDC- 4th(Geir)
BotD drops off, boss changes into hand, BotD comes off cool down before you can hit the hand.

So with full Alex gear, I'm currently at 629 ACC and that horrid 642 SS. I will be getting the Esoterics pants would be my next buy. SS will be at 625, but drops to 575 (605 with HQ Steamed Catfish). Should I buy the Eso ring as well or hold off for Eso Chest and another accessory in two weeks? I'm still working on A1 Savage clear.

I'm getting pants this week, chest in 2, then depending on progress/drops will get hands+ring then head+bracelet after. Best upgrade path I've been able to come up with without screwing up acc/sksp in the process.

How do dragoons fare in A2S? I've noticed a lot of phases are basically AOE burn, but I guess AOE is not really an option for so many waves in such a long fight with little TP relief. Is it better for us to focus down specific enemies instead of joining the clusterfudge?

The only AoE you're pretty much entitled to is when you hit multiple enemies with Geirskoguls and DfDs. Dragoon's main role is, imo, to burst down specific targets (Hardmind/helm, gobwidows, gobwalkers, Jagd dolls).

yea, or, u drive the gobwalker, which is what im doing, but when i think abt it afterwards, maybe the monk shud be the one driving gobwalker, cuz i have piercing debuff for the bard too..

but at this point i'm too afraid to ask the team to adjust this (currently at the last wave of A2)
