Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Remn]

Really? I thought it was only 10% resist.. Your numbers are like 35-40% damage reduction. I'm normally tanking or healing though so I don't see those numbers.

not sure about exact %. but if the ADS got magic resistance. my BLM can kiss 1k damage good bye for that fight ><(for fire1 atleast). FYI my BLM is i89.
now a day i just load my group w/ caster. So i can force my group to go right side xP

Pants make my butt look good!

If you position right before the pull then you can get the ID in before he landslides, I'm as close to him as possible without pulling him and to the right so I can run up real fast and HT then IDC

458 is the apparent cap for flank misses. If you AOE/Attack from the front of anything in Turn 5, you will miss with 458 accuracy. I've only ever missed once on Turn 5 so far wit 460 accuracy. Also, I'm positive it's 436 from the rear, not 435. As a Dragoon, you should NOT attack aim for the rear accuracy, as your HT buff requires the flank. If you miss the Heavy Thrust, GG accuracy.

What's a good rotation for fast conflags, i believe someone was saying (maybe EMX) that you guarantee at least 4 GCDs?

Impulse drive on twintania so you have Disembowl ready to hit the conflag once that person is positioned. True, vorpal, full thrust and any off global CD's you have. If you use Blood for Blood, don't forget you can use keen flurry to reduce some of the fireball damage if your group happens to be next targeted with it.

This has been discussed numerous times in the thread, and there's even a section in the guide for short rotations. Just pre-prepare HT then Impulse drive, then when the conflag lands Disembowel followed by True Thrust combo, if you get anything else off your group isn't doing enough dps. Off-GCD's are up to you, but I'd recommend staggering them, so use BFB on one, then maybe PS+Jump and LS on another. Generally it's a large dps loss to save cooldowns for too long, so I wouldn't hold a cd for anymore than ~5s if a burn conflag is coming. Any longer wait than that just use the CD and use whatever is up when the conflag drops.

Erm. I just posted yesterday that I had a miss ID with 453 ACC, which also means it's not 436.

Which mob did you miss? and were you on rear? heh

Twintania itself during the last phase. Ofcourse I am, I was doing Impulse Drive by that time, and it happened not only once, but 4 times.

Had a miss with Heavy Thrust on phase 1 mobs as well, but I wouldn't bring that up to table since I'm lacking the ACC for "flank" anyway.

Outside of the chance the ACC cap indeed is wrong for rear requirements, there is a slight possibility she was about to shoot Liquid Hells at team mates and her position got messed up without you being able to see it on your screen.
