    DET VS STR/VIT On DRG

    Before the new weathered gear came out my focus was on STR and DET whilst keeping ACC up to par. Now I'm wondering with the new gear having higher STR and VIT but lowering DET as a consequence; which would be the best path to take?

    I can either keep the majority of my ilvl90 gear for the DET, or lose a lot of it in exchange for ilvl100 gear to boost STR and VIT.

    I think (could be wrong) STR works off your physical damage (which is 49) but I would like some insight into these stats from people who know the finer workings of the system.

    Thanks in advance!

    I'll check back in tomorrow.

    STR > VIT > DET

    Its simple that STR is the most important stats for DRG, whenever you want to weighted stats, always go for this

    Weapon Damage > Accuracy (ONLY IF you need accuracy to capped first) > STR > CRITICAL/DETERMINATION

    Vit is largely irrelevant as you'll usually have enough hp for mechanics.

    This. I argued with this for hours with someone in one of my LS's who was proud of his VIT accessories pushing over 6000 HP. His argument was "it makes it easier on the healers" when realistically, you ONLY need more HP if your not surviving unavoidable damage, such as Titan's Timults or Twintania's Fireballs. In any other case that I can think of if your dieing its because of execution on your or someone elses end, so don't stack HP xD
