Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[HaelseMikiro]

I'm seriously thinking about making my relic 44 acc / 31 Det. Using this build gives a secondary stat weight (no STR or WD) of 85.369 with an accuracy of 517. This allows for future-proofing and gear flexibility in 3rd coil. I'm presuming this is enough accuracy to get through the first 3 turns of the new coil without getting any new gear, or just saving tomes for a large purchase.
Compared to the default BiS build on Ariyala which is 87.086 with an accuracy of 492, which is built for max weight only attacking from the flank on T9.
The trade-off in my build is losing 1 SkS and 41 Crit, to gain 20 Det and 25 acc. The default build can also upgrade to Lava Toads or Catfish for 3rd Coil , but will still be 9 acc lower and loses 16 of the 41 crit advantage it had, making it a 1 SkS 25 crit trade-off for 20 Det and 9 acc. Which sounds pretty good, IMO.

Any thoughts on this decision (other than obviously not being best for current content) or have a setup that you think would be better suited to being prepared for 2.4?

25 crit rating worth 1.74% crit chance while 20 det worth 6.7 STR

I can't seem to get my burst much higher than 525 right now. Could it just be my gear holding me back right now?I get rereally paranoid about stuff like this

edit: Broke 600 after getting some more i110 gear!

I would say that if you're clearing T9 and thinking about 3rd coil, who cares about the weights you put on your novus

So I honestly think I'm following this fairly religiously popping everything on cd but I'm hitting around 300 dps consistently as an i107drg which is unacceptable. Recently got out parsed by an i94 drg by 30 dps. I'm locked on to the target so I'm not losing the aa damage and to my knowledge I haven't had any issues with aa damage. I guess I'm just wondering if there are things I might be doing that would dip my dps that low.

Just from being a raid leader and watching PUG DPS I have a decent idea of where different classes should be depending on their gear and skill level. I'd say that 300 dps @ i107 on a training dummy is below average for a DRG, so you should definitely do some double checking on your rotation. I'd say at your gear level, 340 would be average, 360 would be competent, 380 would be proficient, and 400+ would be exceptional.

you can hit 360 on a dummy with full i90 gear and the i95 allagan spear.

Also, you don't need frontal acc cap for t7 savage and t8 savage. T9 could go either way and I don't use it since I'm only at the front for 2 lunar dynamos. Would probably be useful for t9 savage.

I can get to 375 on my i90 DRG for burst, give or take. Maybe post your rotation. Something is amiss.

Afternoon folks, Vas from Gilg here. Figured I'd drop what I currently consider BIS(minus nexus,thanks yoshi-p) since I see people have been asking and the pastebin ones are rather dated. The list includes the ramuh ring and sits right on the 512 frontal acc cap. Some debate on aiming for the flank cap but if you have access to this gear your farming t9 or working on savage. Therefore frontal is crucial for t9 phase 4, bees/slugs in 6 savage, etc. For perspective I consistently pull 420-440(no food/pots) on Turn 8 as the raid leader and first proxy. In other words if for whatever reason a mechanic can't be handled by who I've relegated it to I deal with it. It's not uncommon if I deal with one tower or mine or soak for a ballistic and as raid leader a good portion of my attention is always on my raiders.

For a bonus the root guide is not accurate on the inability to weave multiple OGCDS between abilities. IR,BfB, MS, leg sweep, and both surges can all be weaved in the same window, obviously jumps are standalone. In terms of optimal damage this means that these moves should be popped in pairs wherever possible. If your losing GCD up time due to animations it's a problem with input delay and a great way to see if your being prompt on your ability execution and not bleeding GCD up time. This is doable even with Selene's haste buff although it's an extremely tight window and there can be no input delay at all. With no haste there can be a slight delay but if your too slow you can lose gcd up time and dps as a result.
