Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[SunnyHirose]

To excel at dragoon, that sort of forward planning is important due to how long it takes to finish your combo.

If you're just winging it, though, Phlebotomize is no slouch....

hmmm, well my biggest question is when the rotation gets reset due to switching to an add to apply the debuffs. ive already adpoted a kinda of idea of what to do in these sitations in my head. mostly just curious how others have changed/adapted the use of LS if you are restarting combo, the point of alternating between CT + FT is that it lines up perfectly, but if an add switch causes you to do LS with CT twice in a row, it wont be a dps gain anymore

It'll still be a PPS gain over holding it 7.4s for Full Thrust.

curious what other drgs are parsing as baseline now

over 3m 10s with i125 wep im doing around 540 without party/consumables/food/mercy stroke (lol). seems ok (i117)

Quite similar to mine, I've got 530 at i118 with Longinus also.

590 DPS, 600 DPS with good RNG @ i120 with Longinus, no food, party buff, using mercy stroke.

I got bored and decided to calc the approximate potential of i110 accessories.... They're gunna be pretty darn OP.

Hopefully the secondaries arent shit like the i90 ones, it'll be hard to cap them if its skillspeed.

Hey party people. So I'm almost maxed on DRG and I want to be the most useful I can be for any party I'm in, especially my static if I decide to eventually switch over to DRG. I'm looking at this right out of the gate: http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/P30V but am STILL hearing a ton of arguments over "DET v CRIT". Now, I'm sorry if y'all have answered this 100 times but I'd really like a current, 2.45 answer on this (I don't know how much stats have changed before this but here I am). Is this acceptable gear or should I find some new stuff and look at CRIT instead? Again, sorry if this isn't the right place but I'd rather ask a bunch of skilled DRG mains than just one or two people I know.

How much dps i be doing in T9 with my gear? http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/P316

Gear

DET > CRT point per point, always. However, CRT has a much higher Item Budget, meaning you'll naturally have a much higher Crit on your gear and this will be prioritised slightly more when you're calculating gear.

Anyway. You're really, really lacking in Determination bro. There should be a balance between Determination and Crit when you're just naturally progressing and getting those Item Levels (unless you're calculating gear each week with gear solvers like I do). 280 is WAAY too low for your ilvl. It should be in the 32X mark at your item level, no less. 330-340 is were most people are.
