Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Lucael_Shikaree]

EasyModeX: "From what I hear the only difference in DRG mechanics since then and now are that jumps have a lower cooldown. That would reduce the value of SS slightly (like 0.05?) and increase the value of CRT extremely slightly (like 0.01?), maybe".
EasyModeX/2: "Speaking of which, with DET and CRT so close, that means CRT has a high item budget value (det weight * 20 versus crt weight * 29).
DET 6.59
CRT 6.78
This means you could probably itemize a little bit focused on crit to improve DPS. The two stats have close parity at this gear level and itemization, apparently".

I dont really get why crit is so much better now than before (DET 0.325 -> 0.329 / CRIT 0.204 -> 0.234), which would swap DRGs main stat from det to crit. Is it because the new sets have more det on average than the old ones?

I think he meant that "since the gap between Det and Crit is smaller than before", and "we find more amounts of Crit on gear rather than Det anyway", it would not really be an issue if "dragoons swapped a couple of pieces to increase Crit rather than just focus on smaller amounts of Det". He did not state that Crit > Det, if I read that correctly. Also, good job for contacting EMX - I was actually wondering if there was any chance of him checking the values post-patch.
