Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Mardel]

I'll hit 540 skill speed like tomorrow or something once i buy a myth ring or get the slaying ring this next week from coil. Gotta get that next full thrust while using bfb. I'll never use fracture unless we get the warrior version. I'd rather throw out a Feint for the lols.

I would like to know what the next best upgrade would be for my gear set. not totally sure where to go next currently working on T8 and we died to enrage at like 10%. cant really afford crafted so none of that. it might show wrong earring and ring so those are maiming allagan and striking allagan

Well, for starters. I feel you took a bad route in terms of gear purchases because T9 is where the body/belt drop. Where as everything else is T8 and below.

My suggestions to everyone:

1. Always buy the ring because coil only drops one. (This will never be a "waste" in soldiery.)
2. Get the body because probably not beating t9 soon.
3. Craft gear, if you can't afford. Make a primal selling group befriend a crafter and work it.
4. Crafted belt is your friend... once fully melded you can hold off til t9 belt.
5. If you struggle with t8 the order in which you should make crafted gear goes as follows, Belt > head > pants. Pants last because Allagan pants are decent from normal coil.

Not trying to make you feel bad by any means, but there is no point to gear out "best in slot" crap until you have everything on farm status. Most weathered gear is pointless to buy outside the missing piece because sand of time usually goes to weapons first, and odds are you'll replace it with a piece of high allagan way before you get the sand for it.

Im hittin 360 - 390 depending on how much I have to move in turn 8 (like gettin these super far away mines on the right side of the avatar automatically give a -10 dps straight) @ilvl95, honestly with ilvl110 weapon + half gear ilvl110 / crafted ilvl90 pentamelded you should be close to 380 - 410.

if you gotta catch the mines on right or left, the key is to get there after your gcd + auto attack are done, wait a bit on the mine spot while havin your back turned to the avatar so you re pushed back perfectly to continue dps. That and DFD should be up for 3 Dreads also

Otherwise. Wth is no briar tact in t6.

Ya recently i did like 400 area on t8 with my gear. My group's strat is different where i have to pick up the allagan fielded person's tower job and sometimes grab the tether if need be.

No briar means you just run through the boss like slip stream.

2. Get the body because probably not beating t9 soon.

Isn't Wyrm Mail supposed to be better than Weathered Suit of Astrum Mail if you don't need the +38 accuracy?

I'd get the chest now to make up accuracy and then honestly, it's probably better to spam myth runs for gil to get a crafted helm and/or belt.

If you're dying to enrage, it's more of an execution issue rather than gear. If you're 2 tanking, your offtank needs to have dps accessories, your scholar needs to dps and you need to use stat pots and maybe potent poisoning pots.

390 seems pretty high with your gear. I don't think I was even hitting 390 on a dummy without the i110 spear. I did like 370 on the clear this week but I might be doing something wrong or not pushing dps that hard.

Everything you said is true and in terms of the numbers you're putting out on T8 it is pretty accurate. Everyone quoting high numbers stating "w/ i95" don't have the proper settings.

[Sygmaelle]

Hey depend, at ilvl95 you can have 493 accuracy with almost 460 crit and 453 det, well at least with what I use its what I have so its not that bad really. But yeah, Ricky is spot on

Hello all,

Long time lurker of this thread, and Dragoon is one of my favourite non-tank classes to play (I main a tank).

For T8, I would most likely be going Dragoon, since my party will probably do the 1 tank/5 dps route. In terms of gearing, if Soldiery is not available to me, what are my options? How much should I push for crafted i90 gear? At the moment, my Dragoon is average iLevel 90, and the only ways I can think of to improve it at the moment is to get the Ribbon of Slaying, and to farm for the Mirror to upgrade my Wave Harpoon.

Thanks for the help!
