Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[AugustusSB]

Is anyone here using a macro that combines "Life Surge" and "Full Thrust"? I've tried a number of ways to macro the two abilities together but every result seems janky. Even something as simple as say:

/micon "Full Thrust"
/ac "Life Surge" <me>
ac "Full Thrust" <t>

doesn't seem to work as well as I'd like.

Defensive Cooldowns such as Foresight + Bloodbath + Keen Flurry are the only things worth macroing, everything else can be a DPS loss and/or instant death (Titan EX for example)

Simply achieve 474 Accuracy and use HQ Buttons in a Blanket to Boost up your DPS on Determination. Not sure how this is going to look like at Patch 2.2 due to new Bosses and new BC Turns.

If anything, we'll be aiming for around 470 accuracy from the flank for Turn 6.

[Instrumentality]

We'll see when it comes out. For now the Accuracy Cap for T5 would be 474 if I'm not totally wrong.

Are you a tank? If yes, the accuracy you're aiming for is 477-480.

Are you a melee dps or a bard? The accuracy you're aiming for is 458-460.

Are you a BLM? If yes, the accuracy you're aiming for is 435.

Summoners are weird and pets suck. I don't even remember what their acc req. is.

[Dervy]

I'm sure for pets, it's also 458.

I'm playing a DRG as my main Class. And so far on Turn 5 Auto-Attacks miss with an Accuracy of 468 for example. The Skills are all going through even with less Accuracy but the Auto-Attacks miss.

The only time you should be missing with that acc is snakes from the front while dodging divebombs.

I have 470 acc right now (my gloves and ring still will not drop) and I noticed one skill miss over about 3-4 hours of T5 last night on the big snake after divebombs (finally downed her at 2am, and MNK weapon/tank helm dropped I hate you Dreads...though we did have one hilarious divebomb wipe right before our win)
That's not to say I didn't miss any auto-attacks (I can't parse, so I don't know for sure, and keep forgetting to ask how many misses I have), but I really don't care if I miss one auto-attack on the big snake; if that AA is the difference between killing the snake and a wipe, we have other issues than me missing that AA.

[Dervy]

Auto-attacks and Weapon Skills have the exact same Accuracy Ratings. Auto-attacks don't have a "higher" accuracy rate what so ever. I showed this ages ago.

[NoctisUmbra]

I'd still prefer to not miss any of my Auto-Attacks to be honest, so I'm fixating on reaching the Accuracy Cap for no miss-attacks.

You're a BRD - the solution to this should be evident. Being that the only time you're attacking from the front really are the snakes during the 2nd set of divebombs, toss a Rain of Death on the lot of them and reduce their evasion. Voila. You'd be helping all the DPS in your party that have optimized their accuracy setup.

ANd Hawk's Eye or w/e its called too.

The snake phase doesn't even matter DPS wise. It's a matter of, can your group clear it or not. Twintania is coming back a minute after the second Dive Bombs either way, and whether or not you missed some AAs is inconsequential since it does not help speed the fight up or hurt Twintania.

Basically, don't let that part affect your gearing choice. 460~ is as high as you should go for current content.
