Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

Crafted gear vs Darklight, what do you think would be better?

This is in the BiS section of the guide

There is talks about the Allgean/Myth gear vs Crafted but nothing about the DL vs Crafted.

Oh my bad, I'm so used to gear questions being about Myth/Allagan. Judging from the STR stats (which tend to be capped on crafted gear) I imagine it would slightly favor Darklight, but the differences would be so small it would barely matter.

HQ crafted gear with melds is BiS for the ilvl 70 tier. They share the same defense/mdef/STR/VIT values as DL.

Loot *lag*?

You mean loot-lock-of-death where you were stuck in the looting animation permanently and couldn't do any combat afterwards. Had to relog and wait in a 6 hour queue to log back on. Good times.

One of my favorite WoW bugs was disconnecting on a Warrior if you used Charge or Intercept because the server thought you were hacking from moving too quickly.

Just wondering, a fresh lvl50 drg, with Drachen armor set and GC weapon, what kind of dmg is expected to be done on a lvl50 dummy?
My rotation is as listed on this thread;
H>Leg>P>F
I>D>C
T>V>F>Jump
H>Leg>P>F
T>V>F>T>V>F
Just bugging me as I get complains of low dps in dungeons, so downloaded the parser and want to know what to expect.

With your gear you will definitely be doing noticeably lower dps than most of the players that would frequent the end game lvl 50 dungeons. I imagine the complaints are coming from WP/AK runs (since lower dps is less noticeable in the 8-mans), and if that is bothering you you could run a little more CM and Ifrit to get a couple Darklight pieces and a new weapon. The Ifrit weapon will go a long way to improving your early endgame dps.

I also don't like that rotation because it leaves Disembowel and CT down for too long, but to each their own.

GC 50 weapon should put you at 130-140 dps against static single target bosses I think? I don't know if dummies have any inherent damage output differences.

I see no differences in my parses on lvl 1 vs. lvl 50 dummies, probably the only difference is in accuracy percentages.

My rotation is basically;
HP IDC TTT
HP TTT TTT
With the added fracture after P, might just drop that and go with the exact above rotation.
As for gear, that's all I am doing is farming tomes for DL gear while working towards ifrit. It's just getting less fun with complaints even in a DF grp

Considering that Allagan boots drop in Turn 5, my current priority for myth (I've weighted the stat vs cost) is Boots > Neck = Belt > Ring.

I already have the Chest otherwise that would be your number 1 priority. Of course these would change depending on your group's luck with drops.
