Dragoon DPS Gear and Best in Slot — Dawntrail 7.1

Dragoon performs much better at a 2.50 GCD speed, so we have two different gearsets set up for pre-Savage gearing. One of them prioritizes the 2.50 GCD, utilizing one of the Normal Arcadion drops. This is also your second (or third, if buying weapon week 2) tome purchase, so it is very temporary, guaranteed.

Portions of these gear sets can only be acquired by completing the current raid tier. Note that, unlike previous, 2.50 has significant upside, so the fact we can make a set with 0 Skill Speed means we greatly and only prefer this speed, now, at level 100.

Portions of this gear sets can only be acquired by completing the Abyssos raid tier. A guide for the content can be found in the link below. The green-colored gear is obtained from the new dungeon added in patch 6.5, The Lunar Subterrane.

With the arrival of Patch 6.3 and the new dungeon, Lapis Manalis, dropping iLevel 605 gear, we are now able to cap item level on certain pieces to make a stronger build, averaging about 1% higher in DPS compared to previous sets.

Portions of these gear sets can only be acquired by completing the Asphodelos raid tier. A guide for the content can be found links below.

We’ve decided to not include full gear sets for The Epic of Alexander anymore, as your gear choices make very little difference in how much damage you do due to how gear syncs and removes melds. The item level listed below will outline what item level is required to max out both substats on gear for the fight. All gear above the specified item level will work:

• Item level 595

With that being said, the biggest difference that can be made to your gear set will be equipping a Shadowbringers Relic weapon. Due to the nature of how substats are allocated on these weapons, it enables you to utilize more substats than what’s intended on a normal weapon. The Relic weapon provides a 1% damage increase for The Epic of Alexander. Stat allocation is as follows:

• 182 Critical Hit / 147 Determination / 139 Direct Hit

Keep in mind, the Relic weapon is NOT mandatory to clear these fights. It only provides a buffer for mistakes. It’s up to the player to make the decision if the grind is worth it.
