Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Riotpersona]

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-)

[KidSerge]

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.

[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?
