Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[9th]

Those look extremely close.. I would lean toward the higher str, but damn that's a big drop in det and crit :/

I know right. Debating whether or not the Weathered Astrum Chest and Belt would outweight pentamelded Wolfram Chest and belt. :/

Really have nothing to spend my Soldiery on though. Anyone have a definite answer for these stat weighs?

[Tilgung]

A quick question: more dps?

Str: 540
Crit: 463
Det: 334
Skill Sp: 462

or

Str: 551
Crit: 432
Det: 294
Skill Sp: 489

That first set is weighed/weighted 3.518 higher. That's what, a .4% increase? I wouldn't use my gil for that, personally.

Lol gil's already been spent. First set is my current one. Thank you for the responses though.

First has 3.188 more weight (party buffed). It's about an extra 1-2 DPS lol.

EDIT: typo

I'd rather get the Tassets + Helmet, especially the Helm. It's actually BiS if you're going to include crafted items @ 493 acc w/ buttons in blankets.

Hey everyone, I'm finally going to raid as a DRG, but I'd like to ask, how much DPS should I be expecting with i93 gear (with Animus Weapon) on each coil turn. I've been having horrible luck with coil as I have not recieved a single drop (except greed rolls).

To be more specific, this is my set gear atm -> http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/MM83 (no luck, no loot lmao)

T6 we use superslug method, and T8 I generally only add a stack to the landmine bomb (Yey! I get the easy job! lmao), just cleared it and about to start T9.

I really like doing my best, because as a team player, giving your best for the team inspires the others to do their best as well, and well I'd like a general idea what to expect my DPS should be in coil, so I can further try to improve it. That's all, thanks in advance.

[Dervy]

250+ minimum for T6/T7, 340+ for Turn 8.

Hello people, first off to everyone here: hats off. For the amazing job you people are doing for the community.

Now that the praisings are done, I have a problem:

I've done alot of research when I switched drg, found the rotation reborn as well as a set up for BiS and some strat for the 2ns coil, but from what I'm ready (especially from the above post) I'm WAY off track.

Here's the gear I'm using: http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/MMHW (had to use xIfrit bracers for Acc since I got gimped by the boots tonight on T7) and here's an idea of the DPS I've done in coil:

T6: 227 (had to call a stop dps since we coudln't avoid a 2nd bee and we kill 1st set of adds after Leafstorm)
T7: 234
T8: 316 (I'm in charge of poping landmines)

I know that from these numbers alone, not much can be told as of how I'm playing, but any tips would be helpful, hell I'm even willing to create a char on one of your servers for real-time help.

Thanks for your time and tips.

T7: Thing about T7 is you could get very unlucky with voices/shrieks causing your dps to drop. That said, I always save spineshatter and dragonfiredive for gap closers until all adds are done. Also, make use of that elusive jump to close distance.


T8: My group has me handle brainjack/tether that way I can have 100% up time. You can still do your positional moves even when underneath the boss for brainjack.

[Sofis]

Yeah, for T7 I usually save the jomps for gap closer on adds to burn them quicker. For T8 the brd handles brainjack and homing. I'm handling the farthes mine, since our highest dps if the monk and losing 3 stacks' a pain ... Think it's just a matter of placing the dots at a right time and I dont have the fight figured out entirely yet. More research then! but for now, videos of T9 for tonight, fun times!
