Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[FantasyForever]

Hit Enrage in Turn 7...everyone died, including the boss. Got a screenshot as proof lol

Healer Robes and Bracelets dropped.

My group has me getting the Tomestone next week (not this week coming up, the next one, so third in the group) since I can't buy my weapon for two weeks anyway, but our MNK and SMN can this coming week (BRD is last) Tanks got the Oil since healer got lucky.

So yay, onto Turn 8. Having fun trying to optimize my gear for it with what I have (can't rely on more Coil2 drops after all). Just need my Allagan Boots for the set I think is best, but the stupid dragon won't give them up...

I feel your pain on those boots. Luckily the high-allagan boots dropped this week on t7, so I no longer have to think about those boots again. XD

That said, have fun on t8! it's a lot of fun. To me the mechanics on t7 are just annoying, while t8's are very enjoyable.

I killed Twin 5 or 6 times since my last post (and Moogle Mog twice; got my Ribbon )...no boots. Can't even remember what everything was either, I'm so tired...but 5-DPSing Twin is fun lol.

And we're planning on solo-tanking T8.

Hah, that turn 8 is a pain in the ass, especially on the first dread where you re pretty much obliged to do a HT and re apply CT when theres like 2 secs left max of DiS on the boss QQ.

But. That said. Beein the target of brainjack as a dragoon is kinda like cheating, you ll just dps non stop & never move unless you need someone for the very last set of towers.

Read back a few pages,
Dervy and I discussed a number of different options leading up to the dread. Takes a bit of practice and a break up in the rotation leading up to the dread, but a HUGE over all dps difference in the end.
Yeah, brainjack is great on Drg is pretty great. Can be a little difficult with the dreads depending on how you deal with them, and other mechanics ^^

My initial rotation is absolutely not conventional so I can't really change anything, that said I lose maybe like 3 dps with that dread intermission so all in all, its all fine. (maintaining 360 - 370 dps without much problems and breaking 500+ at the pull)

When the Dread Die, ph just fade so I can refresh it straight, its just that I got 2 secs left on HT and at the same time theres like 3 - 2 secs left of DiS on the avatar. Since our dps is good enough for me to just do ID on avatar and DiS straight on the dread beein already on the boss, can't really change much things or I'd lose dps on the dread, which I don't really want.

But again, I don't really have that much of a dps loss really, just a slight delay between the two different dots that I recover by clippin Ph a bit after

Yeah sounds like you have a straight better grasp on that transition then I do. Honestly, what you are doing with the initial rotation, sounds like I am trying to figure out, just to help things line up better with the way we do things in my group. The rotation is just broke at spawn of the dread, so trying to change up a few things to line up an ID on Avatar to move straight into Dis > CT on Dread.
After the first dread, more of it seems to line up better at least for me anyways.
Great numbers Sygmaelle ^^

Just wondering but are you doing Coil on another character? You don't have a T7 achievement on that DRG, and I'm not sure if 360-370 sustained with that gear is accurate for T8, depending on the tasks you get to do. A parse or some video would be cool.

Well, lol on the Lodestone it didn't even update that I've changed of Free Company since 2 weeks.

I've updated my gear solver spreadsheet thingy now if anyone wants it. The accuracy levels list needs updating properly. If anyone can tell me the different accuracy requirements then I can update it. I also haven't put the melds on any of the Wolfram gear yet.

MNK and BRD haven't been updated just yet, been too busy so getting the DRG one working was my priority c.c.

Nevermind. Bought a different item to include and the solver works for the necklace now....
