Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

I would not say acc cap is 500 for t9 because you miss on golems sometimes.

So I got this nice looking piece of equipment "High Allagan Gauntlets of Maiming" :P To be honest, until now, I didn’t bother to check the exact stats weight value. So I did some math after the drop and I was a bit disappointed to notice that, according to stats weight, even the “Weathered” version Astrum Armguards seems better.

Tell me if I'm doing anything wrong down here:

Weathered Astrum Armguards: STR 21 - CHR 23 - DET 11 | 21 + (23*0.204) + (11*0.325) = 29.267

High Allagan Gauntlets of Maiming: STR 24 – CHR 18 | 24 + (18*0.204) = 27.672

So, since I don’t need that extra accuracy on the H.A. Gauntlets *at the moment* I think they’re basically…. useless?

Here’s my actual equip http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...acter/2245036/ and consider that I only got that piece of High Allagan. Any suggestion about some changes?

Honestly, a lot of the high allagan pieces are really badly itemized. You can probably use it for t8+ where you need 49x accuracy, but until then, it's better to use the weathered astrum armguards until you get like the i110+ spears without accuracy.

Well....I've had the wolfram tassets and mask made. I've been lucky enough to get them both pentamelded for less than 500K with materia I had on hand. Looking at Lucael_Shikaree's pentamelded wolfram cuirass has convinced me to obtain that next. Now that I'm out of materia, though, I don't look forward to pentamelding it...

I'm really not so sure its worth it. I mean, I want it to be, because farming for it would give me something to do, and our High Allagan chest drops in T9, but crunching the numbers it just doesn't seem to be worth it to me. The Wyrm's Mail (i90 Myth) has a stat weight of 41.696 while a Wolfram with Crit+33 & Det+6 would have a weight of 43.207. That is basically only 1½ STR more than Wyrms, which granted is better, but you would need to overmeld a grade 4 materia into slots 3 AND 4, which could be a financial disaster if you got unlucky. I suppose it could make it ok to use if you needed the acc, or could replace another item with a non-acc item, but that would depends on the items you have available and could change depending on your next drops.

Don't forget that it looks neat.

I suppose instead of adding crit, you could add Accuracy, but would that be any better?

The cuirass already has 34 accuracy on it so you can't add to it. Try to get to 23 Det then meld straight crit. Would have to be all IV materia to cap. $$$

That's what I did, sorta.
