Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[whiskeybravo]

What is your party comp? If you have 2 casters, BRD, DRG its probably better to keep going right. If its MNK DRG BRD Caster, left is better. MNK DRG Casterx2 could go either way (depends which is doing more damage overall)

The debuff is minor, but yea you should choose the best path for whatever comp you are running with. More melee go left, more magic go right

the resistance buff is pretty big. my BLM fire 1 only crit for 600-700 instead of 1k, when the boss got resist buff.

Pants make my butt look good!

If you position right before the pull then you can get the ID in before he landslides, I'm as close to him as possible without pulling him and to the right so I can run up real fast and HT then IDC

Really? I thought it was only 10% resist.. Your numbers are like 35-40% damage reduction. I'm normally tanking or healing though so I don't see those numbers.

We do enrage method with 2 bards me(usually playing war or pld) and a BLM + SMN/PLD (depending if im tanking or not).

so we got 3 piercing damage out of 5 dps, so yeah itll be best to go left

So I just did T5 earlier with 453 ACC. And I did miss 4 ID from rear which I think is enough to prove that the 435 ACC requirement from rear here is incorrect.

I run turn 5 with 460, and have never missed unless the mob was facing me, so if the 435 is wrong, it wont be much above that

not sure about exact %. but if the ADS got magic resistance. my BLM can kiss 1k damage good bye for that fight ><(for fire1 atleast). FYI my BLM is i89.
now a day i just load my group w/ caster. So i can force my group to go right side xP

I find it weird though, I only had miss during the last phase with that 453 ACC, while during the earlier phase, I had no miss at all. Well, RNG probably screwed me up.

I have T5 on farm and never had a miss either until I switched from Wyrm Boots to Allagan Boots which caused me to lose 15 ACC. Seems I need to aim 460 ACC.

458 is the apparent cap for flank misses. If you AOE/Attack from the front of anything in Turn 5, you will miss with 458 accuracy. I've only ever missed once on Turn 5 so far wit 460 accuracy. Also, I'm positive it's 436 from the rear, not 435. As a Dragoon, you should NOT attack aim for the rear accuracy, as your HT buff requires the flank. If you miss the Heavy Thrust, GG accuracy.

What's a good rotation for fast conflags, i believe someone was saying (maybe EMX) that you guarantee at least 4 GCDs?
