Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

How will the gear replace astrum? Do you mean weathered astrum?

I am thinking (hoping) that the helm and pants will give some determination.

It would be really nice if CT2 gear was upgradable to i110, too. Since I'm sure we'll be limited to 1 drop per week, and you can also get sands/oil in CT2, it really doesn't affect the rate at which you'd be able to increase your ilvl. Probably won't happen.. but it would be sweet!

So I am the homing missle and brain-jacked guy for T8, I feel the bard should at least do brain jacked? I'm doing about 340 to 360 dps on pulls while doing both jobs. Input? Got T8 to below 10% a few times.

There's not much reason for DRG to do either of those mechanics, BRD can survive very easily (I assume the survivability is why they forced you to do them) and lose virtually no DPS while doing both mechanics. If there's a survivability issue for your BRD doing those mechanics, it's an issue outside of the fact it's BRD doing them and may lie in your tower order or healers.

I recommend asking your group to switch now before you've got it on farm, when people may be more reluctant to change a successful strategy around.

I personally handle homing/brainjack as a DRG and have 99%+ uptime usually. I can hit all positionals (yes even during Brainjack without turning boss) and usually pull about 390dps with i103 w/ Liberator and dat skillspeed. This includes being TP starved for a bit towards end (avg 30-seconds). This is also with a 10 minute kill time so it would be a bit higher if the rest of group could reliably break 330 dps, but they don't besides the monk.

Yes the BRD can do the job with 100% uptime, but he can also do every other role with 100% uptime too.

Want the spear/scythe.

holy shit does that looks awesome.

I take it that's the ramuh weapon, thunderbolt? what about the armour, in particular the chest piece? never seen that before, but want it almost as much as i want dat spear.

EDIT: never mind, all i had to do was use my brain and the site lol

Eh, I fell neutral about it.
