Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[PArcher]

Alot of important pieces for DRG comes in later turns. We have 6-8 on farm, and we havent seen a single DRG left side, while our mnk is i104 =/

Well, the left-side BiS Allagan pieces are Head (T8) and Belt (T9); the Hands (T6), Feet (T7), Legs (T8) and Body (T9) are looking like good stop-gaps til you can get all the Sands to get the Astrum Body, Legs, Feet and Hands upgraded (and Liberator unless you get really lucky with T9...5 Sands...that's a ton of clears). Good news is the right-side is all Allagan (all drop 6-8 too), so only one Oil is needed for the Ring...

I'm using the 496 acc T9 BiS BTW...

I think the crafted belt is the main one to consider. It can cap all secondary stats including accuracy.
This is a perfectly melded one for example:
STR 13
SS 16
CRT 16
ACC 16
DET 11
however it requires 4x tier IV melds with only 1 of them being guaranteed and a tier II last.

To make it alot cheaper you can meld it with 2x tier IV 2x tier III and a tier II det which is what I have done giving:
STR 13
SS 16
CRT 15
ACC 15
DET 11

I support this, and have done the same thing as you except my CRIT, DET, and SS are capped while ACC is at 15/16 so (Heaven's Eye IV and III instead of 2 IVs)

Are you 100% positive you can reach those melds with that helmet? If so, I might purchase one and start messing around with it.

I own one ^^. But yeah just do the math yourself to get some peice of mind. You get 5 melds. 2 of which are free (ie. not over melds)

Savage Might IV = +6 DET
Savage Aim IV = +9 CRIT
Heavens Eye IV = +9 ACC
Savage Aim III = +6 ACC

It's potentially expensive, but possible.

[EDIT^2]
Could you post what weights you are using and/or verify the following below:
Weapon Damage 8.732
Strength 1
Determination 0.325
Critical Hit Rating 0.204
Skill Speed 0.178

[EDIT]
On i90 Disciples of War Helmets, Hands, and Feet you get the following stat caps:
21 Skill Speed, Critical Hit and Accuracy
15 Determination

Thanks for that piece Learn something new every day.

I'm tempted to purchase a HQ Wolfram Mask. Shame they're 1.1m on my server atm. You don't need someone with 390 control or w/e to Meld onto it do you?

I'm tempted to purchase a HQ Wolfram Mask. Shame they're 1.1m on my server atm. You don't need someone with 390 control or w/e to Meld onto it do you?

Nope, you don't. Any 50 ARM will do.

I splashed out on the mats for em instead. Worked out cheaper.

Sorry, been away for the weekend. No I'm almost 100% positive you just need a 50 ARM to meld it, but to craft is another story.

Guys I got allagan chest and legs currently. I got 1000 sols. Which I should replace first? I am already over 500 acc with rest of gear(ilvl 91)

Astrum Hose is #1 purchase.

For your next purchase:
If you're working on T6+ and you have Allagan Boots of Maiming (T5), purchase Weathered Gloam Ring.
If you're working on T6+ and you do not have Allagan Boots of Maiming (T5), purchase Weathered Astrum Sabatons.

If you've not killed T5 yet/working on it for whatever reason, get Weathered Gloam Ring.

But, you're still running with i70 accessories. Upgrade them to i90 through Coil Farming, or upgrade them through Soldiery, AFTER Astrum Hose.
