Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Hakmatic]

No one here is doing 500 on dragoon. Dont worry to much lol. Also dont run out of range for allagan field. Stay on the boss. Your tether person should be able to ensure you dont get hit.

Hi people.

I've got an issue. I usually hit a 340-380 constant DPS on T8, as a ilvl 103 DRG. (I am doing mechanics like tower and I usually run out of range for allagan field).
I saw people here doing up to 500. How do you do ?

My rotation is mostly this one :

HT-IR-ID-BFB-Dis-Sweep-CT-PS-Ph-Jump-TT-VT-LS-FT-HT-TT-VT-Sweep-FT-Ph-ID-Dis-CT-HT-TT-VT-Sweep-FT-Ph-Jump-TT-VT-FT

Then using cooldowns with buffs as soon as available while following this : http://i.imgur.com/hJFTfLf.png .

How to hit at least 400+ DPS ? Am I doing something wrong like, am I forgetting something ?

Thank you very much for your help.

You're doing just fine for dealing with mechanics. Also that astrum gear isn't the most optimal. Too much skill speed (for me anyway) where I prefer to go for gear with determination. You'll improve dps some as you continue to get high allagan drops and/or unweather some of that astrum.

I also didn't see them mention anything about pots. Which does boost your dps by a good amount.

I do right around 400 on T8 with missle duties, brain jacked lamb, and having to proc one tower, that's with i108 and the Novus, full BiS and no duties I can see 470-480, but I doubt I could hit 500.

Our monk with the 115 Claws did 470.

400? Hmm, I would of assumed ilvl 108 would do more (more so with that Novus)?

Hello, I've been playing DRG as my second main and i think i reached a roadblock in terms of what my next gear upgrade should be...

This is my current gearset: http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/NO89

Melding crafted gear would not be a problem for me, i just want to know what i should be going for next as an upgrade.

IT guys at work block your ariyala link. Shortly after Coil 2 released and loot tables were being determined, I had a friend craft me the wolfram helmet, chest, and belt. I think pentamelded them to max out det/crit/acc. The high allagan mask is from T8, while the chest and belt are T9. In my opinion, they're solid upgrades. Astrum gear (with sands obtained through hunts) are also a possibility for you though will take a few weeks to "buy" from the vendor.

Not sure what weapon you have chosen, but aim for a liberator if you can save up the soldiery tomestones and another sand. Not sure how the ramuh weapon measures up...can't ever find anyone wanting to clear him on Cactuar.

"snip".

I guess i have to type out my gearset xD

(Left Side):
High Allagan Spear
Wolfram Mask melded (Det capped, crit capped and +6 accuracy)
Wyrm's Mail
HA gauntlets
Myth Belt
Allagan Trousers
Allagan Sollerets

(Right Side):
High Allagan Choker
Allagan Earrings
Allagan Bracelet
Gloam Ring
Weathered Gloam Ring

Accuracy 476

Since we had duplicate DRG loot drop in second coil i have gotten a few pieces of high allagan, i followed the 2.1 BiS that maximized acc > det > crit.

From what i can gather, the soldiery boots look like a good upgrade, +Acc +Det, other pieces from the soldiery set have too much skill speed on it.

Yeah and I have pretty much every mechanic job besides popping land mines.

The best I've ever done in T8 is 430 with 490 ACC BiS. I can't seem to get past it, and I've been trying to for a while now. Is there any tip anyone can give me? My only responsibility is the tower (every other wave) as our MNK is the one doing landmines.
