Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[SolarMisae]

What this thread's consensus about locking on? Do you guys do it? Does it make a big difference in DPS?

I do it, I have it set to a fast hot key so I can quickly take it off when I have to move out of an aoe like circle blade etc. Keeps your auto attacks going at all times. It's a small DPS increase compared to legacy without lock on.

350 atleast.

Am I just an awful DRG then ? i103 DRG w/ Liberator (i110). I do about 380-390 dps via ACT. I'm in charge of homing missle/brainjack for all of the fight, and just homing missle at the end. TP starved in last phase for about a little less than a minute. We do have Selene.

I think with just i100 weathered Liberator I was pulling somewhere around 330-340.

http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...acter/6176814/. HQ apkallu for 490 acc.

I also do about 340 on T6 using briar/ss method. ~300-320 on T7. In first 2 phases of T9 I'm averaging ~300 at the wipe.

If DRGs in low gear should be pulling ~350 at a bare minimum T8 style what I am doing wrong that I'm barely higher? Let me know!

I always go with the notion.. build my gear sets to avoid using accuracy food.

That should be the aim.

While I appreciate the comment, you provided no reasoning for why your suggestion is meaningful. Why should that be the aim? If my accuracy food gets me to the cap while giving me a higher amount of stats is it not superior to less stats but buttons/risotto?

To piggyback off that - what are your numbers like and what content are you currently tackling for comparison?

It could be because of being tp starved. Your t6/t7 and t9 doesn't seem to be lacking assuming average mechanics so it's more about the fight than your rotation. What do you pull at a dummy over 3 minutes? Are you averaging 380-390 throughout the entire fight? Or do you average higher and then drop due to certain things like not having tp?

Also you just simply don't get that much dps for gear. For reference, at a dummy I hit 350~ with i95 weapon and full i90 and now I hit like 450~ with i115 weapon and almost full i110 (minus 1 ring).

290-ish, unless with X-potion of strength, then, you can push to 300, but not over 310. My DPS at the stage in t8 was 296DPS. Oh I forget, I use Button in a Blanket HQ as food, X-Potion of Strength for burst, and my acc is 520.

[LionKing]

You are doing good if you are sitting around 260-270 in T6-T7. Yeah weapon contributes a large portion in increasing our DPS. So unless, your group can consistently clear t7-t8, you should work on your Animus, then again, you don't really need that much DPs for t6-t7. A levi or allagant one will do just fine. I never had my animus when I cleared t6-t7 ...

I actually didn't think about it till now, but what parser are our friends using? Logrep and XIVAPP seem to have different numbers - as in, REALLY different. The first says 317 and the other one 375 on training dummies while in party, without food/Selene. Not sure what I should trust anymore lol.

Sorry if I up my question, it's just that I'm really confused considering what I'm reading @_@

hey, fellow Drg here, just asking for some advice(omg, really?). I've been getting a lot of flak from my static on the amount of dps I've been doing in 2nd coil, and I'm appalled by the numbers I'm showing on there. On t6 I've been parsing around 240dps and on t8 been doing around 290-320dps when our monk who has i95 weapons has been doing over 400dps. I also have an i95 weapon and I'm at ilvl96 gs. on dummy i can reach up to 340-380...
