Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

Finally downed Phoenix last night, with a little bit of luck we might start training T13 at last. Any tips for the first two phases I should probably know before getting slaughtered?

The initial burst is tricky, depending on how your tanks pull, the first Jump can land you right inside the Megaflare red pool, so be carefull. With some tries you'll get used and find the optimal burst.

Also, usually my 2nd (or 3rd? o.O) Blood for Blood come out of CD just before the second Earth Shatter Mark. So don't use it untill someone is marked or, in case you get the mark, do the mechanics before using it.

Our Paladin casts Cover on me whenever I get that mark (except if I get first and second, Cover will be on CD) so the shatter don't leave the pool, and allow you to continue atacking the boss. If you don't get the first mark and for the second your PLD has Cover up, just pop your CDs normaly. For the rest, just read that guides.

Found this. lolwhat. Are you mad? Are they seriously going to consider making me TP drained within the first minute of the fight?

I think Yoshi-P is planning to change how SS works due to the complaints about how imbalanced it is, rather than just giving us more of it in its current state.

This is too good to me true.

Hey guys, now that Carbon Twines are available outside of Final Coil (and WoD is here), are the upgraded Poetics gloves a better choice than the Astrum ones? This is my gear currently. I don't need any additional accuracy for now, so I'm only really interested in gloves that would improve my damage.

Any viable pieces? Or am I better waiting until I get the Dreadwyrm ones from Final Coil?

I would say it depends on if your having problems with dps in T10 and 11. At your current gear level you should be good enough to do T10 and T11 easily. The gloves would be a major boost especially if you upgrade it with a twine. You would be getting an extra 7 strength. The problem you will run into is accuracy cap for T12 and T13 in the future which the Dreadwyrm gloves will help you reach. I would personally say hold out till you get the gloves from T10.

the upgraded poetics gloves would definitely be better, yes. the current drg bis non-crafted uses all leftside poetics except the belt, so it'd fit well into that if you want to go for that build vs crafted builds with higher weights

the belt/necklace are probably the worst poetic items for dragoon, but they're still better than 110 soldiery at 120 likely, 130 definitely.

As far as I know, head, gloves and belt are from coil. Where's that 410DET set that Dervy posted?

I dont know about crafted BiS, but as far as coil and Dreadwyrm go you want dreadwyrm helm, gloves, belt, neck, and ring. All the rest is poetics.

http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/PD79 is the bis with current weights, having 2.019 more str weighted (from skillspeed, granted)

i'll still go for the 410 det build though, since i already have all the leftside dreadwyrm pieces

Don't know if someone is really taking seriously that "BiS".

Only talking about Left Side.
