Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[SongJoohee]

Not a Dragoon player here, but I'm recruiting for my static at the moment and Dragoon is one of the classes we could have fill the gap. Problem is I have no idea how much DPS to expect from one since it's been months since I've seen one in Coil.

In Turn 10 or dummies, what would be consider minimum, average and good DPS for a Dragoon to hit? I've talked to a friend in a linkshell about it and he said 350 on Turn 10 is pretty good for a Dragoon, is that right? It seems very low, I know they aren't the most powerful job in the world right now, but that far behind?

My DRG does 400~420 with a Novus in t10. So the person in your linkshell is indeed low.

Just curious, I haven't been in t10 yet ( so I don't know how much uptime you have), but us this unnerved or merged?

Over the course of the entire fight.

Thanks, reassuring to know they're not quite as far behind as people were making out ^^

My friend does about 460 - 470 on dummy parses with her novus but she still has some i90 gear on .

Your friend might want to check the validity of her samples. 464 is the theoretical peak for a BiS Dragoon as of 2.3; it is physically impossible to reproduce with a Novus and mixed i90. One of the more popular parsers gives substantially (40-50+ DPS) inflated readings due to its way of reading damage, however, so it may simply be that.

Thats with party buff and food , I dunno tbh our bard also had her 15-20 DPS under me in coil (cept T9) and I'm hitting 490-500 with my Monk being BiS cept the HA claws.

Neither of us have any duties in T8 except like 1 tower every 2 sets.

If it makes any difference she prioritizes Crit > Det > speed

Ahh. Party buff + Food is probably making up the difference I'm thinking of there, then. Never mind me.
