Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Sessurea]

Hey there. Had a skim through the last few pages, but there's too many to go through :P

What's the general consensus on the crafted i110 stuff? I've crafted as a few pieces for my DRG, but i'm not sure how they stack up against the i120/130 gear.

Hat and belt are awesome! Hat only needs 6 det to reach crit/det cap! ( I don't bother with skillspeed melding though )

I got the chest too since I was rocking the ST chest and plan to buy blm chest next with my poetics. But I bought the poetics pants and shoes since they are just droolsome and I might just stick with the old soldiery gloves since they are great, not sure yet. Coil stuff goes to my bard so this is the plan of a non-raiding drg I guess xD

Do read previous pages though!

Oh guys, how were i90 accessories back in the day for dragoons? I was too poor to even consider such things at the time. I'm curious if the upcoming 110 meldable accs will be a better option than poetics, slaying accs don't seem great xc Good for accuracy though of course.

No sooner do I complain about drops on the Internet when in one day I get the chest (too late to help anything), belt (yay), and two carbontwines (BiS weirdness, other DPS didn't have body pieces ready for upgrade). i123 THANKS YOSHIDA

I can safely say from experience that with full i110 left side, DRGs didn't really need i90 melds for T6 savage (lots of physical damage, most of it requiring AoE heals; in fact, nobody on my team used any) or T7 savage (lots of physical damage, mechanics far more fatal than HP checks except on fireball targets) in 2.3x. T8 and T9 savage are different beasts and I never went in.

For FCoB pre-2.45, they might have helped with T10-T12 but were by no means necessary: I didn't use 'em, even with minimal left-side gear, and we even found ways I could survive the crit Nerve Cloud that first week. T13, well, so much has already been said about how dragoons were a liability there.
