    if we /pray to dervy, would that make him some kind of sick estinien x dervish drg primal XD?

    think with all the questions of bis for drg in 3.2 in reddit and even here, ppl would have all their answers sorted out XD

    edit:

    what piece are you guys getting next week then with lore? (or the week after that since most of us are now low on lore cause of the pants).

    I myself don't have a clue, mostly crafted gear for myself atm, so what's best to get?

    I'm to the point of buying nothing. My static has had one night in A5S and pushed a 9-minute run that almost hit enrage. I have pants, but now need to save my next 1000 for the spear, since if we progress at this rate (and assuming fixed glitches in A6S), we could theoretically have A6S down the week after next (since one raid day next week).

    If I weren't doing this, though, ring. Absolutely the ring. It's the only piece that - no matter what - you will NOT replace with a 240 Midas drop. Ever. Plus it has good stats on it this time around.

    I finally got DRG to 60 last Saturday and read through the guides/explanations in the initial post afterwards to help figure out how to play better, and I just wanted to say thanks to everyone that has contributed to the thread so far, especially the openers and advice on GK usage. I went from not understanding how to use GK to clearing the A6S dummy in a day (still not good enough for A7S though, going to work on it more this week and see how far I can go)!

    DRG feels like a blast in real fights, too. Just messing around with it on extremes is giving me a lot of insight into timings that I never got as much info on as a tank main when the content was current, so hopefully that will carry over as I get further into Midas Savage tank wise to help out my melee dps (whee vortexer).

    My life while tanking is an existential hell from which there is no escape.

    All of the weighted BiS sets at around the projected 720 accuracy are all roughly the same. 600 DET, 600 SS, 1030CRT, tbh.

    As for the sets for the lower accuracy requirements, I think it would be best to solve it for the highest accuracy requirement, then "lock" the melds into the "BiS items", when solving for the accuracy tier below.

    That way you won't end up with something dumb, like two different meld combinations for 1 piece of equipment, for two different accuracy requirements.

    I'm so raising my hands to give you guys energy to run those BiS calculations, because I'm a potato towards pc's and technology. \._./

    In the mean time I'll use my feet to try and clear A5S dummy with i200 eso weapon. 1 clear with lucky crits, a gazillion fails to normal critrate. I cri evrtyem because my friends don't want to do Gordias Savage with me :c

    Oh, and since glam was brought on the table I like the feet and arms, the chest and helm look too much Valkyria-ish and viking/northern mitology like. Legs are neutral in my book. Love the spear and would have preferred to have Leviathan lore, because you know... scales.

    Thank you for doing the effort for everyone -silently continues to send energy to the dragoon overlords- \._./

    Hi there. I'm kinda new to DRG, my DRG is now at full i210 (full upgraded eso except gordian gloves and one gordian ring) and I failed SSS A5S for a 4-5 times (best was 2% HP left I think) so I have some questions about my rotation.

    I'm following the advanced opener posted in page 1, with some minor changes:

    I changed [PS + LEGS] and [LIFES + GK] into [LEGS + PS] and [GK + LIFES] because I'm more used to the latter, but I don't think these would matter (cmiiw).

    I moved BOTD between Disembowel and Chaos Thrust since I don't use potions for SSS. That 2.4-3s shift ended up changing how I use GK throughout the encounter, but I made sure to maintain 3 GK/min rate. Does this happen to mess up the potencies (in relation to buffs)?

    Thanks.

    It doesn't matter too much, but I think the way it's listed is a little bit quicker when you take into account animation locks and such. Some abilities just pair better together when you are double-weaving. When I'm not using a potion I just use PS+LegS in the same spot, it keeps botd consistent at least. The only difference between using botd between ID-Dis and Dis-CT is you can execute a GK one combo sooner. Either way you still get 3/min, it just shifts after which combo. (there are considerations on some fights like a3s where the phase is 60 sec, if you use botd between ID-Dis you can not get 3 GK off, you have to pop it between Dis-CT to get 3 off before phase change)

    1000 tomes for weapon. But that's just me having a bugger of a time trying to figure out the next best piece to upgrade. Most likely I'll need a couple of pieces together to keep stats reasonable so I'm just gonna save for the weapon now.

    Yeah that's the same problem I'm having at the moment. Gloves and ring seem like the best choices but I can't really afford the accuracy hit with my crafted chest (also because I keep failing those darn Acc 4 melds). Slipstream helm seems to solve all my issues in one fell swoop (I'm high on sksp as well), but I'm not sure about it being BiS. http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/T5D5 is what I'm working with.

    Edit: Nvm, that Midan helm is terrible in the same way that the lore chest is. Makes the choice pretty clear.

    I see, thanks. I guess I'll try again later and record it, I might be doing something wrong that I never noticed.
