The Monk Temple Reborn

[Dervy]

No one said anything about Dreadwyrm pieces being overall better than Rowena gear. You're taking it out of context.

And it doesn't work out like that. 2.0, DETs weighting was 0.3x. 2.2, Dets weighting was 0.35-0.38. It's now 0.45ish and that's using my up to date math. So if you do total ilvl set comparisons, you'll end up with erroneous numbers. Weights aren't 1:1 stat comparisons, nor are they 1:1 damage conversions. Everything is relative to everything else.

And if you're going to argue against DETs weighting being inflated to around 0.45, you should really catch up and read the posts between myself and Sunny in the Dragoon thread and/or read my blog because yes, Determination really is that good and that's why the Japanese usually just stack infinite DET on their gear and yolo.

The thing is, you're comparing old weights with new weights thinking "oh, it's because of the ilvl increase", when it's just completely different. It's "more accurate" mathematics vs old, bad, bogus maths & methodologies, so of course nothing will add up. All previous stat-weights and formulas are incorrect (except CRT)

Thats very nice of them. Send me a reply when they break 800 dps without echo and before Heavensward...

Otherwise the argument is irrelevant. Noone argued against DET being good. It has always been good. But the argument is, it cant be that good, weighing at .572 which or 0.45 ish.
Saying 2 DET = 1 STR makes a lot of gear irrelevant dude. That is not the case. Especially when said dreadwyrm choker drops from something simple as T10. Get real.
