Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[SunnyHirose]

How else are we supposed to contain all this hype if not by making speculations and trying to dig out fragments of information?

Gotta keep ourselves distracted somehow. :V

I'm actually trying to sum up 2.0 DPS theorycrafting in one document, but I think I started too late to finish by HW. There's a lot to go over....

Once you've finished it up, mind if I post a link to it as a "2.0 resource" in the new topic?

Would this document contain information in naked (== broken weapon and no spent stat points) damage/healing information? (my own numbers based on 6 jobs at 50 point has naked AA/Healing/Damage values all following one single linear function for these 6 jobs - the 1.0 multiplier being Paladin)

Link for your data? This could help me add the finishing touches to my updated damage formula on time for Heavenswards launch.

EDIT: 1k posts!

Here's the graph for naked damage adjusted to a Base of 202 (== 20 base damage): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...MEU/edit#gid=0

The only outlier is SCH auto-attack, but we're dealing with rounding of low two digit numbers here. Weapon Damage seems to get half the multiplier. Example: WHM at 247 Mind would have a base potency of ~27 ( 27/20 = 1,35 multiplier, adding 8 Magic damage adds ~9,35 healing potency). BLM: SMN healing is at 13,75/20 = 0,687% - 8 magic damage adds 8 * 0.84375 healing.

I'll also flat out say that Crit, Det and Spellspeed conversion are pretty much exist in the char sheet (and even the zodiac scroll):
Crit ~= 13,85 - 13,9 for 1% == (341-202) * 0,1 (same story as base damage being 0,1 * 202)
1% spellspeed reduction == 27,7 - 27,8. (calclate recast as 2,5 * (1.0 - (SS - 341)/27,7/100) - we do not know how tooltips round)
Det = 20,2 for a 1% dps increase.

How does the Zodiac Scroll play into here? Stat Budget. If we assume that 44 CRT/SS on the scroll should equal 31 DET in terms of damage - then we can say that 31/44 * 13,9 ~9,8. But dealing wit rounding (and materia prices), SE might have had to decide between 31/32...

Problematic is that STR affects base damage and Weapon damage differently, and STR conversion is a big ?.
