Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

But when do you have to hit from the front ?

During the last phase of turn 9 when everyone stacks in front of the boss. Your fire tether and thunderstruck go to the back, meaning everyone else is in front of the boss and attacking from the front.

Yes, Dragoon is my Main Class/Job. And as you said with your words I might have a "poor equip choice" but that doesn't mean I am unable to clear T9 due to this.
Besides that due to all respects, the end of your reply was slightly offensive towards me, at least that is how I received it, sorry if I am wrong.



Yes, there is indeed a huge amount of Accuracy on my Equipment and is most likely the cause for the huge amount of loss in DPS.
As you mentioned before 492 might be the max I'd need for T8-T9, but I'll be still aiming for a little higher at least in regards of T9 due to me having to hit from the Front for a certain time.
Of course I could stop to attack from the Front at those specific moments, but I wouldn't want to risk either being dead or causing others to die through my actions. A dead DPS can't DPS.
I'll rather do Damage from the moment I'm at the Front instead of missing a lot of my Attacks and due causing a delay in DPS overall.
Thank You for your knowledge though, I'll re-adjust my Equipment neccassarily.

To answer these questions, just wanna confirm with Sygmaelle.

You don't stack perfectly with the team, but rather you stand to either side of the boss. You move near the party stack to be in range of fire during fire in, staying at the side or back during fire out and thunder, and other boss mechanics accordingly while maintaining most hits from the side or back of the boss during ice fire thunder phase for Turn 9. Am I right in my description?

Cause if that is so, then we can throw the requirement of 512 frontal accuracy out of the window, side accuracy is about 490++ i believe. It will significantly increase our secondary stats with the lower accuracy requirement.

Oh and if you're checking my gear, I'm only using what I have and now at Divebomb phase. I'm at 550 accuracy because of the limted gear i have.

Well ... you can definitely do better than that. I mean your ranged dps can go on the side rather than behind and it let you either left / right flank or behind to dps all the time without havin to hit from the front whatsoever.

Keep in mind that Thunder / Fire aoes are pretty small so you can totally be on the flank when someone is behind Nael. Only tricky part would be to refresh IDC when someone got thunder but usually its "fine"
