New 50 Maelstrom Dragoon seeking Gear/Materia advice

Funny that in the link you posted those are clearly for ifrit weapons, since is based on the tests both seiken and kaeko did, can you provide the raw data your friends/testers confirming all those caps for the different weapons?

Also with my gear and food i get 369 str and 314 pie and when i passed from garudas beak to gae bolg i didnt really see that much of a difference on ws dmg, as your caps suggest i should have, except for crits.
oh and if i use paragons crowns over DL eyepatch i get 379 str and 324 pie, from the very small test i did and actually just eyeballed t one, didnt see much difference in ws dmg, need to test more though to be sure.

So would just like to see those raw data to be sure of those caps you listed {If you would be so kind.}

I did not do those tests, so sorry can't do that for ya, or I would. I got this information from colleague#1 in game who has outparsed pretty much every setup you could imagine, using these numbers.

I will say, though, that colleague#2 switched back from 328/292 to 350/310 for Ifrit on his spreadsheet two weeks ago, but I have not been able to corner him and figure out why. Something may have changed again in 1.23; it wouldn't be the first time mechanics got shifted.

Edit: His sample sheet that changed two weeks ago also has Gae Bolg capping lower than Ifrit...grr I wish he played the same times I do ><

Tachi Koma also tested the Garuda's Beak and foud a cap at 358 STR / 315 PIE...

This is more what I think Beak is probably like

So we can agree is better to not state what the caps supposedly "are" and end probably spreading misinformation until actual proof is shown by someone? ^^;
