Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Dervy]

Average should be around 220~ DPS. You can pull higher (I've pulled 251 once) if you time everything 100% perfectly.

On average with allagan spear I used to do between 230~240, with 250~ on a really good run. However I honestly feel it partly comes down to the entire group, if you push all the phases your dps is naturally going to be higher. Like any fight the more you do it, the better you'll become at timing things correctly to push your numbers up. The highest I've gotten so far with my i100 weapon was 280.

Since DRG only have one attack that needs to go from flank is it viable to gear only for rear accuracy for some fights which is is possible to stay at the rear almost all the time? i.e. T8.

Even if HT is not accuracy capped, would the extra additional stats make up for whatever miss rate you might get from HT/autos when attacking from flank?

Similarly for BRD who can stay in the rear regardless of rotation, should they gear for rear accuracy instead of rear+flank?

[Dervy]

Not at all. Going from 493-471 accuracy (Flank -> Rear is 22/3~ accuracy difference) with BiS is only an increase of 0.8%(ish) DPS increase (someone may need to recheck the exact percentage). Now that's with a chance to miss a HT, which gives us a permanent 15% damage buff.

Yeah, not worth it.

One miss (leg sweep) against Rafflesia, 487 accuracy, maybe two hours of tries. Was probably while the boss was facing me before a Floral Trap or something, otherwise I would have missed a lot more. Not sure if it was worth reporting or not considering a lot was discussed earlier anyway, but here it is o/

Isn't Turn 6 around 475 accuracy? Only situation where you'd miss besides that is if the hornet targets you and you gotta hit it from the front.

Hi all. First time poster, but long time reader.

Quick question: How do I go about figuring "easily" what my BIS based on my own gear? Is there a spreadsheet/document/code that everyone is using?

Thanks
