Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

CT now with my gear does like 49-52 per tick, clipping the last tick of CT every 30 seconds would mean a 1.63 dps loss no ?

Clipping accounted for. Still better. You will clip the "last tick" regardless of SS as long as SS is >0. You have to meet/exceed +105 SS before you are at risk of losing a second tick. Differences in DPS based on gear sets are very minute. You can optimize for more DTR if you #believe in DTR. DTR and total damage formula still unknown. SS still obnoxious because you can get v. low on TP if you try hard enough to optimize DPS with multiple targets and ROT/Doomspike. Also, SCH with Selene pew pew pew.

I have 1 oGCD macro with BFB, IR, Mercy Stroke, and Power Surge. I use that key to use the abilities, but I also have the abilities individually in a separate place on my UI so I can track their cooldowns (basically so I don't press the macro too many times and waste Power Surge).

Other oGCDs are not really on any macro.

Did I mention I'm also vastly annoyed that they changed the color of the allagan pants in 2.1 from white to some faded off-tone navy. It previously contrasted very well with my Myth chest and DL boots. Now it clashes because it has similar brightness but conflicting hue and saturation.

Yep. And those values roughly translate at a 2:1 ratio to potential DPS. So that 0.66 "value" delta will be like 0.33 DPS.

So you're saying that if i have a 660 value from my gear/food that I should be roughly parsing around 330 dps?

good to know ^^

[EasymodeX]

Yeah more or less. Note the "2:1" is just a coincidental result. It's not any sort of intended/accurate correlation.

I really don't want to spend the Myth on the pants (would rather get the Warrior body, or something for WHM...and yes, I am upset they changed the color of the Allagan pants too ) so anyone have any info on what using the Allagan pants pre-T5 would look like, and how much worse it is going that way?

[EasymodeX]

You mean "look like" as in how it affects your BiS list if you restrict pants to Allagan?

Pre-T5 w/ pants = Allagan:

HQ Eggs

Myth Belt
Myth Boots
Allagan Bracelet Striking
Myth Chest
Allagan Earring Striking
Myth Gloves
Allagan Helm
Allagan Leggings
Myth Necklace
Allagan Ring Maiming
EX Garuda Ring Striking
Myth Weapon

If we are to use the new bis gear that has been kindly recommended for us, will the new extreme mode primals require to use the HQ Deviled Eggs? I know turn 4 and 5 will need to have the food eaten, I'm just wondering what other fights may need the food required also? I myself right now have far too much accuracy and use buttons, so it'd be good to know when I'd need to pop the eggs if I were to obtain the new bis gear.

One final question with the different bis that have been posted here recently, the last one posted by Augustus, but I know EMX and other's have posted their own versions too. This is what was come up with last by Augustus, so I assume at this time this is the current bis gear now?

Weapon Allagan
Head Myth
Body Myth
Hands Allagan
Legs Myth
Feet Myth
Waist Myth
Necklace Myth
Earring Myth
Bracelet Inferno
Ring Allagan Maiming
Ring2 Vortex

Food: HQ Deviled Eggs

Thanks guys.
