Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Galamoth]

Hello, long time reader first time poster.

Thank you for making this topic and thanks to everyone posting in here. The dragoon community is so strong! I originally picked dragoon because I felt it was the cloest thing I could get to as my samurai in XI and I am having a lot of fun with it despite the bad stigma it seems to have. It always feels good to impress people with my dragoon because of all the hate it gets and it just makes me want to play it more and become better.


When I first hit 50 I had no idea and was kind of doing my own thing which was ok, but as soon as I started following this topic I feel like I've become so much better and have learned a lot.

Super excited for 2.3 and how the gear will effect DRG, I think a lot of it will replace astrum, and it looks pretty badass too!

Same (Actually I started as PGL but couldn't resist the playing LNC after I got my hands on it)

Yeah, I haven't dabbled with all the high-skill speed gear, and don't really want to if I don't have to.

How will the gear replace astrum? Do you mean weathered astrum?

My static is still getting their weapons, I'll take some non-SS i100 left-side in the meantime, /shrug. Hell, it's possible for i100 to outweigh i110 due to secondary stats, right? There were a couple CT1 pieces that had higher stat weights than their i90 counterparts.

It's such a long road to BiS in 2.2+ with all these sands and oils, in between gear seems more relevant.

The i100 helm could possibly be bis for some sort of no accuracy set you use for old dungeons if it's got no accuracy.

I am thinking (hoping) that the helm and pants will give some determination.
