How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[Thendiel]

Here's something fun I was toying around with today. As I was working on my guide, I thought back to my hypothesis from a while back that we'd get extra Geirskoguls per minute at a GCD length of 2.30 seconds or shorter. I made this write-up on the topic (page 29 if the link isn't working properly) fleshing out how I thought it would work. Then, for kicks, put on all of my highest SS gear, got a SCH to help out, and tested it. Here's the video I recorded. The 2.30 figure is still just theoretical (I couldn't reach it without those healer buffs), but at some point around that number, we definitely do becoming capable of cranking out extra Geirskoguls, for a total of about 3 1/2 per minute.

Anyway, this is just a quirky hypothetical that I'm playing around with for now, but since we can reach upwards of 900 SS at i210, this may conceivably be the DRG meta at some point, assuming there are plenty of phase transitions for TP replenishment in relevant endgame content later on. On the other hand, it could just be a pointless pipe dream. (I'm kind of leaning towards "pipe dream" on account of the extreme CT clipping and wacky secondary stat distribution...)
