How to Dragoon per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[SunnyHirose]

With all the talk of accuracy, I thought it might be appropriate to post some testing I've done on the subject.

Two things: seems plausible even if it's not proven, because the scaling of stats that are 354 at level 60 are actually at a base of 858, so 22 of something at level 50 (341) ~= 55 at level 60 (858). Of course, one of the points where SE has made this difficult is that there's mysterious rounding magic behind everything anyway.

Other thing: Maybe not what you want to hear after doing thousands and thousands of swings, but the CI is still disappointing at n=3000. So for example, 94.5% / 3000 swings means there is a 5% chance it is outside the range 93.68% to 95.32%.

One more thing: no seriously, good work.

Thank you very much for the input. I would have liked to have 10k + hits for each range for more accurate results, but @ various 3k rounds it plateaued within the same range and within the estimated range for Front/Flank/Rear. I hope it is close enough to make the information useable. (because I would be lucky to run 10 hours of AA without getting DC'd at some point lol).

I'm thinking it's either 595/699 or 596/700. There's been a reported miss at 698. Myself and Hakmatic have not missed thus far at 699.

Edit: Thank you for your hard work. Dervy with greatly appreciate this for healer DPS weights. Mind if he uses your works and references it, so long he links the source and gives you credit?

Absolutely he can use it. More important than the work I did is to verify if it works, I think that would definitely help with that.
