Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Yfamura]

The theory is that there will be another upgrade to base damage before a new coil raid is introduced (2.4?) so accuracy will be viable.
For your second point, afaik Sands and Unidentified Stones will drop from the new CT in 2.3, which will make getting Liberator *MUCH* easier than getting Novus, which really makes the Novus kind of an odd "upgrade" at the moment.

I don't think there will be another base damage upgrade before 2.4, it would render the clearing of T9 completely useless and SE definitely doesn't want that. Also if you remember when the 2.2 cames out we didn't have any trouble matching the required accuracy for T6-T7, so in my opinion putting ACC on a potential post 2.4 BiS weapon is kinda a waiste...
