How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[enil]

Yeah, I've seen some 1400s around. I'll work on that. Thanks!

Hit 1500 tonight!

Having said that, from what I've heard of A3S, for Dragoons, I do not believe it'll work. If there's a DRG in A3S pls try it with 570ish SS for giggles and see what it feels like. No need for mechanics spoilers and ruin it for the World 1st Club, just "yes, no"... So I might scrap that

Its terrible with 570 sks. That's why I was asking lol.

[Dervy]

Well put it this way. The difference between 570 and 590 is 0.0005 GCD.

0.0005 * 10 = 0.005 total seconds difference to complete one GCD loop.

590 is 2.413 GCD. 590 is still awful in that sense. Either way, I've put another set up there.

[Hakmatic]

Thanks dervy, and yeah the difference is minimum, but for me I'd rather have a little more sks cause it gets pretty clunky with 57x, Atleast from what I noticed.

Just wanted to weigh in my personal observations on this whole skill speed business. I ran alex and got boots, helmet, and gloves which I'm currently sitting on right now. The gloves were a real pain because they dropped my skill speed pretty low and I couldn't use them without dropping to 2.41 GCD time. So I splurged on a ring and a necklace, meaning I'll be a week behind other people who went for the weapon first probably doing less dps but I'd rather be hitting that 4th combo personally. That's just how I feel comfortable, but anyway I finally got to use my gloves and I'm sitting right at 604 skill speed.

So just as an experiment, I put on my i180 ring in place of my i200 ring which dropped my skill speed by 7 points, meaning from 604 to 597 and it dropped the GCD to 2.41. From what I can tell if you want that 2.40 you need at least 600 but I'm not a math wizard like Dervy so I'm not sure if that 7 points of ss is gonna make an actual difference.

Any level of skill speed that would be sufficient for a dummy rotation wouldn't change anything I'm doing in there.

Min skill speed for 2.40 gcd is 599. The difference will be a bit a breathing room. At 2.41 you can't have any disconnects or delays

I'm in a similar boat, using 180 gloves instead of 190 cuz sksp.. Will change a bit this week tho with reset and new weapon

Thanks sunny!

[Gailo_P]

so what skill speed should we be sitting at ideally? Especially for savage? im sitting at 602 ilvl 181. I know thats going to more the likely fluctuate when i get more of the 190 armor. My 190 armor im sitting on is head and waist and all 190 accessories besides one ring.

[Dervy]

600-630 is a safe range.

Just checking cause I've heard a lot of things from another DRG on A3S and I'm not actually on the fight myself, so I can't confirm anything. He said, she said, kinda things, ya know?

And yeah, congrats on World 4th/6th Hak + Ricky
