Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[pompey_dan]

Having a sparkly new chest is super temping, isn't it? =p

IT IS!!!!!

Really can't make up my mind what to get first. Don't really wanna hold out on getting anything would rather just upgrade now so it increases my groups chances of progressing new coil. Not a fan of the new body stats tho, I already have tp issues because my skill speed is so high due to bad luck never getting allagan1 feet/legs and will hopefully get tidal wave spear soon so the high ACC will not be needed for a while. The hands are nice but there is a chance they could drop this reset from t6, might just get the ring and feet.

Did someone show that the DRG feet drop in turn 7 ? I think i see it somewhere but its not in the loot pool thread.

you know dat feel bro

Sigh~_~
Just accumulate the soldiery first i guess. not bad seeing 450x3 worth of tomes next week.

I'm headed for the pants, stats are pretty good.

I'm personally saving my Sol for now. Yeah, the ring isn't a bad choice, but I want to make sure I get a good item first. And I still need to go farm T5 more...need my boots and spear

Tried T6 last night too; kept getting to the first Hornet and wiping to the second Bouquet or to the Spit after it. Need to get mechanics down and it shouldn't be that bad, IMO. Just requires a good bit of practice.

The clear winners of the soldiery question are the pants and ring. I'd lean towards pants for left-side Vitality upgrade.

The rest is a bit up in the air, depending on "what you can't get until T9" and what the exact acc caps / targets are.

Current consensus seems to be roughly 470-47x for T6. I suspect that's the same for all turns, but it might not be.

Hello, could i have some input on why the pants? I understand the ring, but is skill speed a new thing now?
Thanks! Still torn on whether to spend the 900 sold

Due to how itemisation works, the weathered pants gives you an overall stronger set upgrade, in comparison to everything else. Then, depending on the gear you have, it's either the gloves, or boots. But, i110 gloves frop Turn 6, so boots are probably a better option.

Ah thanks, i calculated, if i take away the -34 accuracy from my trousers of maiming, and change it to the weathered pants, i would still be sitting around 474 accuracy (without food), i could bump that up with food definitely.
Could probably bump that up with a gloam ring in the next week.

Is it a good idea to swap pants if i can maintain the acc cap? (47x-ish)
My gear set is this, except i'm using wave harpoon.

Gloves: Allagan Gauntlets Of Maiming
Helmet: Wyrm's Armet
Chest: Wyrm's Mail
Waist: Hero's Belt Of Maiming
Pants: Allagan Trousers Of Maiming
Feet: Allagan Sollerets Of Maiming
Neck: Allagan Choker Of Maiming
Earrings: Tremor Earrings Of Striking
Wrists: Hero's Bracelets Of Slaying
Ring1: Allagan Ring Of Maiming
Ring2: Allagan Ring Of Striking

I'm just gonna get the Stronk ring for right now. Seems like a lot of the Soldiery pieces have accuracy which doesn't do me much good until I get the Allagan spear, which isn't likely to happen soon since if I beat T5 it will likely be as a Warrior.

I have 4 Atma. Torn between upgrading Gae Bolg or Bravura first. Bravura Animus would be a better upgrade probably, since the WAR Levi and Weathered weapons both are...kinda meh (no Parry at all; the Weathered does have Acc, but my first Weathered will be Liberator, and won't be running Coil with WAR, so there's that). And then I throw Thyrus into the mix and get confused all over again (Levi weapon is out for WHM, but the Weathered and Allagan are both good...)

Probably is best to get Gae Bolg to Animus (or close to done) before 2.3, in case the next upgrade allows for good customization, because the Levi and Liberator are just better. Gae Bolg's selling point is the really high Accuracy...but looking over the gear lists, Acc shouldn't be much of an issue...

Thoughts?
