How to Dragoon per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[CookieMonsta]

Trying to farm Weeping City to earn the armor is slowly giving me aids, seriosly.

I just lost mine today to a floor tank DRG, I rolled 75...was pretty confident, idiot rolled 77. I have never wanted to wish death and misery upon someone else so much in my life.

You delay the second B4B 1 gcd so it's used before Vorpal, which is higher potency than before Phlebotomize, and still catch the Jump. Your sks and fey wind don't affect it.

What do you guys think about this build (pre A8s): http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/UHS9

Relic Stats:

• Critical Hit Rate: 120
• Determination: 114
• Accuracy: 6

With those 6 points in accuracy we can put a Savage Might Materia V (+12 Det) in the helmet instead of one acc materia with the "loss" of only 1 point of Determination (not really a loss because we earn 12 with the det materia) and still can reach 705 accuracy to meet A8S acc cap.

The issue is that I know that my static won't be clearing M2S, much less M3S any time soon. That means the savage boots, arms, and head, etc will be out of my reach until at least 3.35. And because of that I'm not even sure if I should try to get Anima or the Horde spear because it screws over everything else without those savage drops. I have a pentamelded 220 with ~50 acc right now and with Lore Spear I'm sitting at stats that are pretty comfortable.

Edit: I know I can wait for the anima, but not for the Horde spear. The skillspeed loss is way to much. Can't seem to get it working no matter what I try, given my planned progression path. Should I just... deal with the 530 skillspeed or am I just better off sticking with my Lore Spear?

The only pieces needed for BIS past M1S are from M4S, so relic with all crit/det or horde weapon plus the Weeping City body fall in perfectly, they have the same stats as the Midan Body and Weapon. http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/TGXH
Nevermind, guess you do need the boots, forgot and ariyala was down when I posted.

A bit of an open question maybe, but I was wondering what DPS some of you were doing in A5 and A6 back around ~i220 & 220 weapons. I was swapped from PLD to DRG this week and pretty far behind gear-wise. I'm trying to figure out how much DPS I should be doing. My only DRG clears were at 1177 and 1218 respectively (and they certainly weren't perfect rotations, but that's a part of learning), and I don't feel satisfied with these numbers. Sorry if I'm not providing enough info or if it's too open of a question to answer properly, and thanks.

I was able to snag the Yafaemi body Tuesday over another DRG in my group with a 77 role barely beating a 75. Stoked!

There is no definitive answer for this. You have to do what works for you.

I play on PS4 and use the crossbar. I have GCDs on the right side, OGCDs on the left, and jumps on the second bar. You want your rotation, especially your opener to be muscle memory, so I'd recommend experimenting with the hotbara until you get something that feels natural

Was that during 5/6? Or a dummy parse? If the former then I'd say I have every reason to be concerned about my performance lol.
