I got my Novus, Nightmare kicked in

[Firepower]

On a similar note I was pondering since Novus is meant to be the start of a long term increase in weapons is it a good idea to balance out Skill speed and Critical hit since they both offer opposite returns (every extra SS is worth greater than the last and every extra Crit is worth less than the last) Not to mention Yoshi mentioning that SS is supposed to be more important in future. Of Course that is secondary to Determination as as far as I am aware that is strictly a linear buff to DPS for most jobs. Also I cant quite decide wether to add accuracy or not as it would only be there to cover the gaps in Acc following a new patch and would completely depend on the newest gear that becomes available. I would hate to not have accuracy on my weapon to find out that the total gear combination in a future patch keeps me below the accuracy needed to hit something.

Melee with too much skill speed suffer TP issues in extended encounters.

Melee with too much skill speed suffer TP issues in extended encounters.

Outside of t8, there should be no issues with TP because of pauses in the fight (t7 & 9) or the fight being too short (t6).
The only thing that really irks me with SS on DRG is it fucking up Life Surge's timer. Q_Q

If you did another novus, I think it would be your first.

If parry is so useless on a drg why do lancers have Keen Flurry skill that increases parry rate by 50%?

Because they gave each melee a defensive buff to try to alleviate their damage taken. Doesn't mean it's a great stat for them.

God, I love Dragoons.

Yes, Lancers use Keen Flurry for survivability. DRG, it's a useless skill. Never used it as DRG, especially since Elusive Jump dissolves aggro.

How did I miss this thread? The fact that he's a drg is icing on the cake! Then goes on to say parry is useful in PVP? It's too good to be true...has to be a troll. I don't even.

How...
Are you the kind of Dragoon who thinks they're a tank because they have high defense? Or do you honestly think that miniscule bit of parry on your weapon is anything but a waste of time and potential DPS? Not to mention the 4 Accuracy and 1 Skill Speed that could have just... You know what? No. This is why LOLDRG is a thing and has been a thing since FFXI. If they offer a Novus reset, do yourself and the rest of the playerbase a favor, reset those stats, and go do some research into your job.

The only thing I found out that loldrg is a bandwagon. I've seen just as many tanks with accessory slots full of slayer gear rather than health.

There is nothing wrong with that. The HP on a tank is useless past a certain point. You are better off increasing STR. The cheap way is to use STR accs. The expensive. Pentameld i90 ruby accs.

OT:
I don't even...I can't.....the relic quest is such a waste of time, and to finish the weapon with such thing....i don't even.
