Comet charioteer

Salvage is on again! New group, and everyone knows their shit, moreso than me so I need to re-learn stuff that I forgot over the past year. I had to go on DRG when I'm only used to doing it on RDM but I still had a good idea of which cells were which.



First run was in Bhaflau, and we were aiming for the boss (Long-Bowed Chariot) which had me worried because I've never had a positive experience with him. We killed all 10 gears on the fourth floor without them warping, plus the chariot there so we didn't get owned by Homing Missile.


The boss fight was very smooth, I only had to spam Angon, jumps/meditate for tp and WS when it was safe, and we had plenty of time left so I didn't really need to be there. Although heavy damage is needed for the 4th floor gears to kill them before warping. I wasn't keeping track of time, but we might have even had enough time to do a rampart + boss.

Was a good finish to an otherwise crappy day, which I spent (trying) to merit and got ignored by good parties, invited by mediocre 72~75 parties, which was fairly fun because I was main healing on DRG/BLU but that takes alot of attention, especially fighting Mamools because by the time I can heal someone (50% HP), they can easily get one-shotted by some TP moves. So not really workable on Mamools unless your party uses +HP macros so you can heal them earlier.

But it's not really a surprise people skip DRGs for meriting (despite them having a main weapon that has +25% damage against merit birds) when you take a look at the 'average' dragoon you can find:


To be fair, that's not a bad jump setup, but rings/earrings are still very bad and...well, I wanted a party :(


My eyes. Tiger ring +1. Trail weapon. There are no words for this.
