Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[HulveinBlitz]

Yes, 452 is fine. Just make sure you're using Life Surge only on Full Thrusts, rather than rotating between FT and CT. I also noticed that the Pre-T13 BiS set I posted uses Flint Caviars, and I know a lot of you won't want to fork out 25-30k gil per food, so here it is with Black Truffle Risotto.

Just got Longinus on my DRG, the weapon looks very disappointing. . . It looks more like a BLM staff rather than a spear =(

It does look like a blm weapon. Zenith was my favourite. Never really liked the re-colour the atma brought.

Actually the style and the color theme + red gems look good. The problem is the head(s) of the spear itself - it's just twirled and pointed to random directions. IMO it would be better if all the 3 points meet in the center.

I think it looks amazing. Especially after the travesties that Novus and Nexus were. Its a trident in a demonic-ish style. It along with the other weapons could be a foreshadowing to Heavensward's dark more mature theme Yoshi-P has mentioned.

what does it look like when drawn, because going to the lodestone db only shows what icon/sheathed looks like, and im hoping theres a unique effect different from augments and relic-nexus

So, I'm pretty new to FF and just started to do updated endgame content. As for BiS gears, I see a lot of informations end usually get confused, so I have some questions about this set you sugests.

As of DRG current stats weights, I usually go for the Acc cap (pre-t13 in this case) and then just try to stack as much Det>Crit as I can get. As I have been reading so far, SS is pretty useless and even when you stack it to get more 1 or 2 GCD on burst, looks like the TP cost and "dificult" don't pay off the DPS increase on this scenario. Am I wrong? That beeing said, is any need to get ANY SS on gear? I ask this specially for the Dread Chest. The Det from the poetics chest is more valuable then the Dread crit and even that over capped accuracy could help in some (rare) situations when you end up hitting the boss from the front.

Even though SS isn't favoured, it does in fact hold some weight and does help increase your overall DPS output. Saying it's absolutely useless is far, far from the truth. Hell, I'm still rocking 481 SS and I'm comfortable with it.

Augmented Ironworks Chest:
DET: 23*0.325 = 7.521

Dreadwyrm Mail:
CRT: 33*0.223 = 7.359
SS: 47*0.198 = 9.306
Total: 16.665

At a very basic level of gearing up, ensuring you're hitting those Item Level increases whilst reaching for those accuracy requirements for the content you're currently tackling is more than enough. Just use the BiS sets I post as guide-lines for what you should be obtaining and optimise later down the road. Unless you're pushing for world/server firsts, aiming for that 2-4 DPS increase doesn't do much.
