How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[Zangetsu98763]

I'm not really digging the stat changes when you upgrade the Gordiac items. Nuh huh.

You can't actually upgrade the normal mode Alexander gear. The savage gear only drops from savage and the pages you get from beating savage. The upgrade items are only used for the Esoterics gear

Link for my spreadsheet. Update it. A quick inspection looks like I may of broke the skillspeed section before I uploaded it 2 weeks ago... oops

Anyway, the numerical Skillspeed cap is 652 if you want to use Ariyala.

Well I hope y'all weren't intending on keeping your hair because bald is officially in.

Could you please explain what you mean by numerical cap? I'm a bit confused

Ah, I see, I'm dumb. Thanks for making me notice that. Welp, time to see my gear never drop for the rest of my life. Again.

That's the soft-cap of skillspeed before things start going a bit "odd" and skillspeeds diminishing returns kicks in for Dragoons.

Basically, don't go over that number unless a mechanic in an encounter requires us to do so, or if gear inflation forces us to go above it.

This takes us to exactly 2.3901 GCD. Anymore is a waste and a TP hog.

I think in Ariyala you can do such a thing... Mind you, I've not seen all the gear yet.

so in theory how much skillspeed do you need to do do IDC4>TTT4>TTT4 again lol

its looking like a fun gimmick to try

[Dervy]

H IDC4 P TTT4
H TTT4 P IDC4
H TTT4 P IDC4 ...

Which is 2.15-2.13GCD for it to be a DPS gain over what er currently do.

1230ish skillspeed.

You could get like a whole load of people with Selene/AST buffing you to do something extreme which might allow you to do 4GKs per minute as you're saving 1GCD.
H IDC4 P TTT4 TTT4 is what you want to do.
