Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

Because, from a single slot perspective

A single slot perspective is nearsighted in situations where accuracy matters. Yeah it's about -1 DPS in one slot, but the massive accuracy on top of that means that you can put an equivalent amount of actual damage stats in other slots. With some classes' gear choices that might be an unrealizable potential, but for DRGs in it's hard to come up with a gearset (or any plausible BiS with an accuracy cap) where Longinus is better. Unless you're already in the last phase of T13 and not running anywhere near enrage issues, I think you'll most likely find that a carbontwine used on the spear is still a significant (if not mindblowing) upgrade once you see where accuracy can be dropped.

As for the chest... it's practically a given you'll want that upgraded. So good, and you don't really have any choice about that until you have the chest drop anyway.

Source: I've always run my gear through a solver and made sure I was maximizing DPS gain per tome / upgrade item because I was getting owned on drops week after week.

And that's exactly my point. I've tried a bunch of "simulations" on solver with Augmented Ironworks with/without possible drops and upgrade from carbon. And the results were always the same: every set came up with Ironworks Spear being on top of Longinus.
With the drops 130 I got lately things got pretty messed up at the point where to balance other stats and accuracy would require wearing Second Coil hands instead of Ironworks 120 or/and not-upgraded poetics earring instead of Wyrm. Since I already got legs and feet upgraded and in a couple days I'll get another one, I'm going to use it on the Magitek Spear. Thanks to you and Dervy for the suggestions.
