I've been searching for a "Dragoon Tutorial" so to speak, that would essentially offer different builds for dragoon gear for end-game. After researching though; I've read about stat maxes, double melds, Darklight Gear and different GC options. I still don't know enough about what's better vs. what. As in "AF vs. a double meld" or when you've hit a stat max and it'd be better to go with GC gear.
I also don't quite understand things like "a capped out strength of 350," I don't know if that's referring to the actual stat in the Attributes section of the main menu, or if you have to do calculations to get the stat. I'm fairly new when it comes to maxing out stats, and gear building. So I guess I'm searching for some help with a table. Something like this for example-
Darksteel Haubergeon/ Officer's Coat (Gridania)/ Dragoon Breeches
"So, here's what you should do, but if you can't get that yet, get this instead" type of thing. I guess in the end I'm just needing help building my dragoon the best I can and help to eventually hit my stat maxes. I know one major thing I need is Accuracy. But I never know when to sacrifice Strength for Accuracy, or Attack Power for Accuracy. As far as I've read, Piety is the least important, but people are still maxing it out. I'm just a little overwhelmed by the wealth of information out there.
This is the gear I have for my Dragoon as of now, and also my grand company is the Twin Adder.
-Ifrit's Harpoon
-Drachen Armet
-Gridanian Officer's Overcoat
-Explorer's Belt
-Drachen Breeches
-Drachen Greaves
-Drachen Gauntlets
-Explorer's Earrings
-Serpent Sergeant's Choker
-Raptorskin Wristbands
-Explorer's Ring
-Electrum Ring
If anyone could help me with where I should build next, or help me with a table like in the above example to get me on a path toward stat maxing it would be much appreciated. Any help with understanding stat maxing would be great as well. I would love to be able to know where to look and how to tell if I had hit my stat max or not.
Thank you for all your help in advance!
