[Stormblood] [Dragoon Rotation] COME ON AND SLAM

[Inuk9]

Hold mirage dive to use your second geirskogul without triggering Lotd then do Lotd 35sc later with your timers just like you used to.

Are you sure about that? I'm asking because I really wanna know.

HT(litany+botd), ID(b4b+ds), Dis(jump), CT(mirage+gierskogul), WT(spineshatter), F&C(dragonfire), TT(mirage), VT(life surge), FT, F&C, WT...without pot

[Inuk9]

So, should we hold the third mirage dive or not?

Hello Dragoons,

I know it is kinda early for that, but do we have any solid info regarding our BiS for 4.2 and possible SKS new cap?

As far as I am aware atm, Skill Speed is still not something we are going to want, you should probably just try to get as little as possible.
The BIS list I am going for is http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/14T6Q

I landed in a dungeon the other night with a DRG who was pulling DPS numbers I didn't think were possible. So out of curiosity I looked up their character and saw that they have an extremely high crit rate via over-melding, but they also boosted their skill speed to like 1400. I don't suppose there's some kind of break-even point where having a higher skill speed might actually be desirable, despite the clipping?

So for someone picking up drg looking to do 60-70 what would be a decent opener + rotation for level 60 before getting sb skills. Haven't played drg since hw by the way.

For level 60:
- always have Heavy Trust buff on
- try to keep up BoTD, since it increases Jump&Spineshatter damage and is needed to perform Fang and Claw, Wheeling Thrust and Geirskogul
a) On short-lived single targets you go for Fang and Claw combo
b) On AoE you spamm Doomspike (from lvl62 Doomspike+Sonic) and pepper it with Geirskog and Dragonfire Dive
c) On bosses you go first for Wheeling Thrust combo then do Fang and Claw combo, refresh Heavy Thrust between them as needed.


OGCD cooldowns at this point can realy be used as-they-come, since there is no building of eyes towards Nastrond.

Upkeep of Blood of the Dragon is made easier at lvl 64 (Lance Mastery passive), but it also makes combos even longer and therefore more vulnerable to luls/intermezzos in the fight.
I dislike the 5-skills long combos for this very reason, but it is what it is..

So I have a question, I got my Mendacity helm piece which is BiS when upgraded to 370 due to having better secondary stats than the Diamond (raid) Helm. However, the Diamond Helm dropped on today's raid. I'm having a tough time deciding if the fact that it's 370 makes it better than the other one. Any advice? Thanks!

Generally speaking (and this applies to all jobs), I go for higher ilvl because the difference in main stats tends to be superior to the difference in secondary stats (crafted pieces sometimes being an exception due to overmelds). Just my 2 cents.
