DRG question for big pulls, like in brayflox HM, should i open with Power Surge, Life Surge, DFD? Or is there some better AoE that i just don't know about?
Power surge doesn't do anything for DfD.

Start with HT, RoT, DS spam until you need HT again, or if you need to conserve tp just use HT+RoT on repeat. Drg actually has very good aoe damage, and burst damage with b4b is very noticeable when you're hitting normal mobs instead of a boss.

I finally learned first hand last week why people keep saying DRG is the most death prone job. The number of times I've had to pull a DRG's HP out of the single digit percentages due to them hitting an ability (most notably B4B) at the wrong time during a boss fight got so high I lost count while I was leveling WHM.

That's a completely unfair, biased statement against dragoons.

We die to pressing Jump at the wrong time, not b4b.

And jump animation locks are even shorter now. :getin:


Edit: Just had flashbacks to 2.0 and how long the animations took back then. On titan HM I would just not loving jump at all.

It just really feels to me now that DRG in this game was the dev team looking at the suicide ability of NIN in 11 and going 'oh yeah, let's build an entire class around dangerously situational abilities!'

I guess if what you mean by dangerously situational is a bunch of abilities that should basically be used on cd every time, then I suppose!

I'm also on Cactaur, back playing aftee taking a break for a few months, so it'd be nice to chat to/help out any friendly goons if I can. I can't play until Wednesday night though due to work, so I'll be way behind on all the new stuff by then.

Incidentally my FC leader won a cosplay prize at the London fanfest with his Hildibrand costume.

A most excellent gang of nerds. (Lilly looks particularly badass in that picture.) I'm also slightly bummed we never quite managed Nael while we were one group. Soon, though.

Meanwhile I have far too many awesome screenshots from a year of playing. Here's one I suppose:

Also given the name of the last quest in the Main Quest line line this time around, this song seems appropriate:

* Damnit, we're not getting promotions to First Lieutenant. They fixed that delivery missions window screenshot with a second lieutenant's GC seal total.
* /merror will be useful for you macro users that do stuff that spams you with error messages.
* CASH SHOP NOW OPEN! Can now get Yda, Y'shtola, and Papalymo minions, Sleipnir mount. Can also get Fantasia for a character the way it should have been implemented.

Man, gently caress that noise. 4/6 of SCH leftside BiS is from the vendor again, with a fifth being a push. Right side's not much better, either. I know not every piece can be Crit/Det, but SS is on almost every piece of Dreadwyrm gear :sigh:

Wow, the Final Coil theme is really, really EVE-like. Even hearing it in full I can't quite get over that. It sounds like something Jon Hallur would compose, not that I'm complaining.
