Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[rickyguo]

Hi there !
I follow this thread since I'm a fresh lvl 50 DRG. (Long time ago)
Even if I have cleaned T7 without big issue or lack of dps I'm worried about something ... I've read some thread about the dps and see ~450dps on turn 8 for DRG. How !?
I usually go around 300 (busy with tower - 350 on a doll).

Those hitting 450+ is close or at i110 with the i115 weapon and have selene and tp songs active.

Like the only way I think I can hit 450 is if I don't do any towers, don't lb and have selene and tp song always up.

Oh right. I have Selene too. 100dps more with 10 more ilvl and 4-5 weap dam ? ._.

It's like 60-70 more strength from gear plus the weapon damage

I guess. Maybe I could buy some gears but I'm waiting for advice about vivacity. I go all for crit since that's impossible to have high deter with the new gear.
Something like that.

But maybe vivacity could be worth it.

Yeah, as Yan Dere said, 450 on a DRG in T8 is extremely high, and you're going to want close to BIS and HA weapon to reach that. The highest I've managed to reach with Liberator and i105 was 415~

That being said, with your current gear, I feel like 300 dps is rather on the low end. Even with allagan spear you should be capable of at least hitting 320~340 consistently while dealing with mechanics, with animus it should be higher.

None of the above include selene in the mix.

Without knowing more the only advice I can really offer though is to ensure that you keep up autoattacks, and make the most of your HT during dreads. Using x-potions of STR is a good idea as well.

In regards to sands, you absolutely want to use this on your weapon before all else.

How many towers do you do? Do you do any other mechanics? If you're getting selene and not running out of tp, then 300 dps is really low. I think you should be atleast like 350.

Around 50% hp of the boss. 3 towers (sometimes I need to wait a bit for the buff tower)
Sometimes a mine to blow up if something wrong with my mate (like low hp or 3 mines on my side)
I think I'm a bit far of the boss to aa everytime.

Almost run out of tp for like 20sec. I need to stop my rotation for a while until I get my +500tp.

I feel like your group needs to do a better job of delegating roles to everyone, and there is plenty of time to heal people between picking up mines, so you shouldn't really be required to play backup for that.

If TP is giving you issues and your BRD is unwilling to paeon, you may want to consider dropping phleb for a while if you think you're not going to hit your next invigorate.

[Jeycht]

I'm the one who delegate roles. ^^"
Except the mine I guess I'm just not good enough to reach a decent dps then ... Time to train more!
(No problem with my AA I check right now. If I can hit with my skill I can hit with my AA too. Wasn't sure about that -feel dumb-)

honestly the biggest thing i could think of, is that you have to stop dps for awhile. thats really gonna hurt numbers in the end. i would def talk to your bard about singing for you. work it out so you dont have to stop at all, besides towers.
