Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Jeycht]

Yep I going to ask for tp song and maybe check my rotation during this fight to be sure I don't do useless thing.
I do 350 dps (5min test) on doll without tp song, selene nor bonus group/food/potion, deal with towers/mines. Is that good ?

Edit: Question. I usually wait for my b4b buff before to use my 5% crit buff again. Good idea or not?

You generally want to use all your buffs at soon as possible. You should generally do it for 3 minutes because other people with more skillspeed will run out around 3minutes. I used to get about 350 with full i90 and allagan spear so you should definitely be hitting more.

hi guys I wanna ask your opinion on my pre t9-BiS, mostly I like to make my own BiS without looking as ready-BiS in the internet.
I think we'll be able to beat t9 in a month from now.
http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/MTD8
basically this BiS is with the Novus (44crit/31det) I manage to get:

564 Strength
544 Critical hit (!!)
307 Determination
505 Accuracy (can always switch the Astrum hands with HA hands for more acc for t9)
428 S. Speed


now this BiS is based on the Novus, which WILL take a while to make, but I think I'll get it before downing t9 (not even talking about being lucky enough for HA)
opinions?

How come you are building CRIT?
Isn't DET almost double then CRIT in terms of stats weight?

yeah, 0.2 crit = 0.35 det, but actually I wasn't planning on focusing on something in particular, I was aiming for at least 500 crit and 300 det... the huge boost in crit was because the sol pants.
if you have any suggestions on how to adjust things out in my BiS so it'll focus more on Det it'll be nice, but as far as I'm looking at it, the only piece with worth enough stats that focus on det is HA chest, and it's t9. but any suggestions are welcome.

oh, I was looking at this one, and for a reason I said that I'm building MY OWN BiS without someone give it to me on a golden plate.
and check the stats with that BiS:

572 str (5 more str because of the belt)
448 crit (mine have 544...)
320 det (13 more det than me)
480 S. speed (which is a lot, even too much imo)

basically you took almost 100 crit out and added a bit here and a but there... I don't like this BiS anyway, it has too much S. speed.

I'm building MY OWN BiS

When people say BiS, they mean a collection of gear that is mathematically (according to what we believe certain stats are worth) superior to any other.

You cannot have your own BiS, in this respect, yours will be mathematically inferior. So, you're not building "your BiS", there is no personal BiS. You're just picking stuff you like (which is fine).

You can build a personal BiS based on what items you have using the solvers, that's not the same as what they're doing I guess, but it is very much a thing that's possible. Compared to literally just picking whatever you want, using the solver would in fact output your own personal "BiS", just not THE BiS which isn't even realistic unless you literally have every item anyway.

Curious on you guys thoughts on these two sets for front acc on T9.

Obviously I love DET and the more the better. But based on stat weights without counting SKS, the one with more crit is "better".

It's a 31 SKS difference. I couldn't get the exact SKS numbers for these two sets. I was one below on both, but this should serve as a good comparison of the two sets.
442 SKS = 2.40s GCD
411 SKS = 2.43s GCD

Which to me seems like a negligible amount of SkS.

So really it's just 189CRT/93DET vs 115CRT/124DET

So yeah just curious on what you guys think.

*edit* Andyman posted this one. http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/MTXK Which is quite nice.

Here's another option for 515 accuracy: http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/MTXK
