How to Dragoon per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[MiniTyra]

Out of curiosity Tyra, is the difference between some of the top weighted sets just a piece of materia or two? Or is it actual gear pieces being swapped around?

Both.

I think there's approximately 120k different combinations of gear and melds you can use this patch.

i Dunno the accuracy cap for a8s so went baked pipira to be safe but i would definately use steamed staff on every over fight

Just for your information. you have 1x Acurracy IV so your BiS actually has +3 accuracy than you've listed on the website

No? The piece with the Acc IV is capped on Accuracy, and if you shift that Acc Materia anywhere else, you'll end up replacing 12 Crit with 12 Det, which is a net loss of stat weight, when breaking things down.

The idea of that set is to maximize Crit while reaching ACC and SKS caps? I don't particularly like it, but yeah.

my bad then sry

[Shyngo]

Is it confirmed that the acc cap for A8S stands in 723? or is it 720?

if its 723, ive come up with this one: http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/TEEK

any ideas?

[MiniTyra]

No one knows. No one is saying anything, but it's definitely in the 700-730 range.

EDIT: 696 is the value that's been flying around for A8S Flank, afaik. But from the looks of it, there's definitely a few mechanics where you're forced to attack from the front on Brute Justice.

[Khadroth]

705 for front at most, apparently: https://www.bluegartr.com/threads/12...=1#post6662298

[MiniTyra]

Yeah, I just read it myself. If that's true, then our BiS stats will be:

705 Acc
1135 CRT
613 DET
611 SS
Baked Pipira HQ

Need more confirmation however before I post the set.

Oops, he made a very slight mistake in one of the gear pieces, meld wise, when listing them all in his spreadsheet

I can't beat it. In fact, I'm not even sure how you got to those numbers, as I always end up short on crit or sksp. Best I could manage was: http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/TG82 705 Acc/1084 Crit/613 Det/594 Sksp. I take it there's something I didn't consider lol.
