Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

Of course not.

Would be nice if they add this option, like for the relic scroll. Would make sense. Since the T10 maiming hands still won't drop, I gave a try to the wootz hands and I've been lucky with the melds so far but still I miss the last Accuracy IV (and this is going to be the hardest part). Then I'll need to re-meld the earring, since the melds are the cost efficient at the moment (1 ACCIV and 2SSIV). Over three monts of T10 and still we didn't see a slaying neck or a maiming hands. So sad.

I'm in a similar boat with the maiming hands. Haven't seen a single one since starting FCoB.

Gear is a crutch :P

Been missing my DRG ;; Haven't seen any slaying drops so far. Healing, caster or NIN (we never have a NIN either lol).

I did get the tank boots from t10. Hooray for parry ._.

GL Ricky, sad to see you still haven't got spear

[Gardes]

Summoning a dragon to have it grant you a wish when you're a dragoon sounds absolutely HERETICAL to me.

[rickyguo]

I got the spear on my alt boys

a step closer

[Noxotic]

Least you seen it ;_;

[Kuroyasha]

Wouldn't it be the most troll thing if you never saw it on your main after getting it on your alt. Or getting it one week b4 Heavensward lol

I'm curious, how do you guys maximize your uptime in T10? That fight wrecks my DPS due to having to hold jumps while the puddle is up, Wild Charge/the tank moving Imdugud back into place messing up the timing of my rotation, etc. so I'm curious if there are any tricks people use to sneak in as much DPS as possible despite the mechanics.

This is a T10 run of mine a few mistakes here and there and far from being a perfect fight. Anyway this is how work well for me.

Don't hold your jumps. It's only a 3k damage tick. You can heal it back up if you use Bloodbath with Second Wind without your healer healing you.




When preparing Wild Charge, the melee DPS should be the second person in line at all times, and if you ensure you're at the maximum distance needed to attack Imdigud, your off-tank can fit in between yourself and the purple puddle to soak up the damage, and you get absolutely no down time.

And you should preemptively be ready to move as Imdigud is moving back to the tanking spot. you get Wild Charge, you can land 1 GDC, imdigud uses a cone AOE, then you move forward with him. That minimizes downtime.

Also, spread your DoTs on the son/daughter. What I do (Ricky taught me this) is to go H-IDC-P on the son, then H-IDC-TTT on the daughter. The daughter should die at this point. Then you reapply phlebotomize on the son, and jump over to the second(or third) set of adds and do the same.
