Dragoon Boss Rush Build — Dungeon Lootr
Update 1.5's premier carry pick — at Mastery 50 its Draconia passive amplifies damage for the entire team.
Setup
- Boss Rush
- Strength → Vitality
Editorial build — inputs reviewed, not proven optimal
Why this setup
How to play it and why it works.
- Trigger Elemental Reckoning (Mastery 50) early so all attackers benefit from +35% damage
- Fish for the 15% per-cast knockdown — it works on bosses and stacks toward 50% with the knockdown bonus
- Cycle elemental skills between melee strings
Gear direction
- Skill Damage and Critical Damage affixes first
- Attack speed where available to fish for the 15% knockdown proc
- Ring slot before head/body — most offensive lines per item
Progression
- Spin for Dragoon (or save toward the 500-spin Exotic pity added in Update 1.5)
- Level the class to Mastery 50 to unlock the Draconia passive — this is the whole point of the build
- Prioritize STR gear; add team-amp uptime with cooldown affixes
Alternatives
Sinister Trigger
Ranged Exotic with comparable boss damage if melee isn't your thing.
Good for

Weaknesses
