How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[Lamby]

where am i supposed to get 565 skillspeed?
ughh
all the new gears are acc+crit

I'm level 57 and actually lucked into 563 skill speed with the best gear I've gotten so far from quest drops and dungeon drops. I don't know what's waiting at 60 but it seems the Devs are aware that Skill Speed is gonna be a need b/c I've never had this much skill speed on purpose or accident.

my DRG opener now. 2k+ (2049) burst dps without anything other than x-pot (not draconian!), party buff and nq food (30 skillspeed 10 det). i did have dumb luck though.

someone tell me if the x-pot lasts for the wheeling thrust at the end or not. i feel like it does, judging by the damage. anyway, here it is.

HT - (BL+BFB) - ID (BoTD+IR) - Disembowel (Pot) - CT (PS+LSW) - 4th (Jump) - PH (SSD/DFD) - TT (SSD/DFD) - VT (LS+GK) - FT - 4th

ir lasts for the GK then wears off before the life surged full thrust, litany.. probably drops before 4th, but whatever. bfb is up for the 4th, x-pot is sketchy but i think you can get it if you used HQ food (i only had nq)

It never. It fell off 0.2s before you used WT. I could download it and check the exact milliseconds in Sony Vegas if you'd like?

Also, updated OP with the proper GCD rotation and explanations. Going to work on the oCD management now.

3m parse

@dervy, mainly mentioned that since in these two videos, the dmg of the 4th hits in the openers were

1st video

1st - 2264 - would be 3396 (before extra crit dmg from 3.0 changes, just simple 1.5x modifier)
2nd - 2051 - would be 3076

2nd video

1st - 3403 crit
2nd - 2895 crit

maybe its just damage variation w

wonder if i150 crafted ring is better than i170?

i150

31 str
24 crit
17 sksp

i170
35 str
20 acc (not really needed atm)
29 sksp

cap on i150 is 24 for crit/skillspeed/acc, probably det too with how they changed det stat scaling, so you could stick 4 det IVs on there and one quicktongue to get 24/24/24 crit det skillspeed

Hey Dervy,

Thanks for uploading that. Could you add your addon.dat as well? I think thats why I can't get it to work lol.

Thank you in advance! The UI looks incredible.

Could be a possibility. Once we know how Crit Works, we'll know for sure. But if you can meld 24 DET, then most definitely it will be better than the i170.

Awkward as well, the i175 weapon with it's HUGE DET out-classes the i180 weapon. I'm not too sure about the i190, I doubt it.

Sooooo. What's the choice in terms of food? I'm having a hard time discerning new food from the old food, but assuming I'm ok with accuracy what should I look for?

[Aiurily]

im staying away from old det foods, because the overall stats are lower. dunno about new ones

Once we get the weights I'll update my food table and share the link.

So, are you convinced that the potion should go before Chaos Thrust, Aiuri? It definitely gives a better set of buffs across the beginning ~25 seconds, but at the cost of delaying the long-term Geirskogul use schedule by one full combo.
