Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Andyman]

With the new accessories, I'll be interested to see how they change our current bis pieces. I believe Tremor earrings are now our top pick, but I think the rings would remain Allagan due to having determination. Though I guess it depends whether you would rather stack crit or det.

One last thought which is that any gains from Skill Speed are only beneficial if the player has the ability to make use of them. If you are not "Johnny on the spot" with your rotation then it may be better to avoid Skill Speed since you'd be squandering the benefits. A good rotation is always first priority, but I have to wonder if as gear continues to advance whether we will see an opportunity to "get past the curve" so to speak for some surprising speed gains. They are reducing animation wait times after all in 2.1. As a DRG with about 460 SS I have never had to worry about TP unless excessively spamming Doom Spike, and then there is always Invigorate. From a TP standpoint DRG might be the only class that could take advantage of this.

I know about the new primal accessories but where is this holy Lance from? Crystal tower?

Now that we have the weapon stats, this is my approximation of BiS, take a look and correct as needed and I'll edit the OP:

Weapon - Allagan Spear
Head - Allagan visor of Maiming (T4)
Chest - Wyrm's Mail
Gloves - Allagan Gauntlets of Maiming (T2)
Legs - Allagan trousers of Maiming (T1)
Belt - Hero's belt of Maiming
Boots - Allagan Sollerets of Maiming (T5)
Bracer - Hero's Braclet of Slaying
Neck - Hero's Necklace of Slaying
Earring - Allagan Earrings of Maiming (T1)
Ring 1 - Allagan ring of Striking (T1)
Ring 2 - Vortex Ring of Striking

That's +130 accuracy, sacrificing mostly skill speed and +5 crit to make up the accuracy lost to switching to the Allagan spear. The accessories are very interchangeable depending on whether you want crit or det, and it doesn't seem like the +21 crit loss on the helm justifies the accuracy gain when you can make it up by sacrificing skill speed on other items.

allagan ring of striking drops in t1 and allagan ring of maiming drops in t4, which one are you referring to there?

I believe that's the weapon you get for clearing all three Extreme Mode Primals. Relic +1 is better. :|
