Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Crimz]

Out of curiosity, how many of you all are buying the chest piece and belt? It's confirmed to drop in T9 (FFXIV Libra app). I figured those would probably be the first upgrades for those progressing as a DRG.

For me so far, I've bought the chest piece and ring. I got the High Allagan gloves in T6 last week so I didn't need to buy the Astrum ones. We also downed T7 last night so I don't want to potentially waste my Soldiery if I happen to get the boots next week. I have my eyes on the belt for my next upgrade I think.

Despite the belt dropping T9, I'm not going to bother buying the Sol belt. The stats are meh (Acc/SS) and even though it does give 5 STR, there are better things to spend Sol on. 2.3 will probably add some more i100 armor (CT2) and it may be at that point that I have the Sol for the belt anyway, and...yeah, not worth it.

I do have the Body (and pants), since the Acc on it IS needed. Also, the attribute increases are the greatest (along with the pants) so upgrading it early is a good idea.

I have the High Allagan Gauntlets as well, and will be buying the Sol gauntlets soon-ish (next is Liberator, then Ring, then Gloves or Feet, then other) since they, and the feet, are BiS. However, I may go get Sol gear for another job (WAR most likely) first, since I'll need Sands to get them upgraded to replace High Allagan, and then buy the Hands/Feet when I get Sands to use them (though if I don't get the Allagan feet from T7 by the time I have the Sol after getting my Ring I'll buy those first)

I got sol legs and ring. So what's next? Ilvl 93 now. Sol hands?

I'm at a point with my gear that the only Sol. pieces that will give me an upgrade at 495acc are the Body and Feet. Hands, Earrings, Belt, and Head won't even do anything for me til I get other pieces.

I also hate the way the body looks since it makes it look like you're wearing a skirt. I'm sure it looks fine when you have the whole set but I'm definitely saving the body for one of my last pieces.

Delaying a really good upgrade because it looks bad? We have vanity now...

I said it was one of only two items that would actually be an upgrade over what I have now. And I've been judging them based on cost as well as upgrade potential, so yea the Body will be one of the later ones that I actually pick up since it is more efficient for me to pick up the Feet next. The others I might not even pick up at all if they aren't upgrades after I get my next item, thus Body will be "one of my last pieces".

If you're not on Turn 8/9, no point trying to reach that accuracy. BTW, Boots should've been your second purchase if you never had the Sabatons of Maiming from T5.
