How to Dragoon per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[MiniTyra]

Anyone know what Dervy's new rotation is? He put up a vid a week back that he could parse 1633 with party buff + food (dunno which one) + pots.

(I tried with 1 star hq food hq drac str potions, and 2 asts + 1 ninja + 1 mch, which got me 1805 and 1826, so fun XD).

and my second question is, how do I calculate stat weights for lets say the thordan wep and the relic, so I can compare? I mean multiplying the numbers is easy and all, but how do I see what is better for future refs? Kinda want to calculate on my own lmao

ty!

(hi!)

The Rotation isn't just the opening burst. Well, sort of is. The opener, I've realised, allows you to perfectly execute a "string", where all of your oCDs flow near perfectly for optimal DPS. Things like, instead of doing IR -> BOTD, BOTD -> IR is used. BFB and IR are "held" a GCD to remove clipping and placed in positions which benefit other GCDs. Delays before Internal Release and Blood for Blood are calculated, so I can fit in as many oCDs as possible.


What's also interesting is that I'm able to actually get Jump to be buffed by every single BFB application used, granted, BFB is delayed and a Skillspeed of +670 is being used. The 3rd Jump/PS also isn't delayed!

Watch the video carefully from around... 1:10 ^^ (Or just before second BFB application)

Sunnys original analysis of his 900 CRT, 69X SS build is somewhat... True. Unfortunately, the weights do not demonstrate the true nature of Skillspeed as placement of oCDs and buffs are not taken into consideration in the far extreme values of SS/CRT. The weights are based off a static rotation, where X skill is buffed by Y skill at A time in the rotation. Not, "oh I have more SS now so this oCD can be buffed" etc etc. There's more to it than that... But sadly, the spreadsheets or the methodologies being used to calculate the weights can't correctly "weigh" SS dynamically.

I think 1650+ is possible. Some oCDs clipped my GCD and could of been used in more "efficient" places.

As for your second question, I don't know what you're asking. Are you asking for a set-builder? Or wondering how you can get the weights going into 3.2? Or what exactly?
