Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Butcherboy]

We'll I just got my weathered legs gloves boots to ilvl110, I don't know if I should work on gloam ring next

Any specialized tips for T8 on DRG? Our DRG can't seem to hit 450s even with full i110 (no HA spear though). He saves Dragonfire Dive for the first Dread and only does CT combo + Phleb on the Dreads for maximum milking but he's still not pulling even his training dummy numbers.

Lemme give ya some insight then :
1. Sub 450 is always attributed to LM duty, many towers (more than 2 times) assignment, balistic missile assignment
2. DoTs is for boss not dread, always hit DN with non DoTs
3. If ur DRG got HA, is he/she able to hit the boss without fearing the BRD missed homing?
4. In any event he/she have to move faraway from boss, is he/she saving gap closers aka Spineshatter, reverse Elusive and DD? or he/she's just like me using gap closers for off gcd (using gap closers or not is very mechanics RNG dependant)
5. Is ur DRG using HQ foods or X pot of STR HQ twice (at the beginning of fight and later at the end of the fight?)

450 seems a bit high imho, best parse I saw was a 430ish for DRG...

Just a note for N.4.

My group employs the single tank method, meaning the second in aggro is always a DPS. That DPS will never be targeted by Allagan Field - meaning, he'll have close-to-constant uptime (except during other duties). The moment he uses Elusive to close the gap, he's going to lose this advantage (if he was second in aggro to begin with). So it depends on the situation, imho.

In T8, we have a MNK and DRG. Right now I'm a little more geared than our MNK (mostly weapon, should be fixed soon though), so I tend to be #2. MNK is in charge of Homing Missile, so we want him at 2 so we don't have that confusion going on. So...I Elusive Jump at least once in phase 2 to make sure he's at 2 (other DPS are using Quelling there just in case) When he gets more gear that won't have to happen

But, this is something to keep in mind, especially since MNK do more DPS naturally than we DRG

Aye, that's why I said it depends on the situation. Or rather, on the group. As of last time, he still has to catch up with me (DRG) and the BLM - so in the end, it's better if at least one of the melees can stay on the target as much as it can. I didn't check if the BLM actually used Quelling, but in case he didn't it might make sense to try and Elusive to leave the 2nd aggro spot to him to help him keep both GL and up-time.

Edit: "he", I meant the monk in my static. Pfff. Who needs subjects anyway.

What should I do first? Replace weathered belt with guardian belt? Replace astrum body with guardian body for det boost? Replace astrum hands with guardian hands for more det? Replace astrum legs with guardians legs?

If you don't intend to penta-meld a Wolfram belt, go with Guardian's belt until HA, but i see you've already made that decision.
The rest of the Guardian pieces are more or worse than the sanded Astrum pieces depending on how much you believe in skillspeed.

Is it alright that I focus my equipment on CRT rate over Skill Speed and (sometimes) accuracy? What's the minimum would say to have the accuracy stat at?

And last question: do HT and IR stack?

Thanks!
