Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[SunnyHirose]

Problem with telling people about it is just mostly if it contradicts the "theory" of optimal DPS, people don't want to hear it even if it's a DPS increase in practice.

I think you may be underestimating how many people actually do want to hear it. Thing is, who has a bigger stake in saying something, someone who can only say "thanks", or a chronic naysayer? Anyway, don't let the bozos grind you down.

I can accept the official stance on parsing, but I think there is a side effect where it breeds a cynical culture of "brb using imagination since no parse". And even screenshots don't tell a complete story; it's rare that someone exports their complete combat logs to share publicly.

I think one issue is the lack of knowledge about ACT itself. Not many people even know how to import/export ACT logs, or even know where they're stored on ones computer.

Truth right there, all this stat weight stuff is so boring, DPS optimization is the funnest part of raiding for me.

What else is there to optimise about the Dragoon. All we do is poke a spear into something and pray we have crit RNG.

But seriously, strategic optimisation is something that we rarely ever talk about in this thread unless someone specifically brings it up. Aah well!

EDIT: Because I'm a dumbnuts.

That, plus one thing that not everyone say, but happens. Sometimes, I just don't post my parse so I'll not "expose" any of my static members. Not everyone is ok in sharing their results and we could discuss for ever about it, but I just respect ones decision.

And even further, there's the "social media thing" where people will only expose their best and hide the worst. You don't get avarage numbers, always that optimal 1%~10%.

Somebody explain me how. Is it because of party buff? Crafted items? Revolutionary oGCD management?
