How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[Dervy]

With the weights themselves, the only two buffs that make a difference are Internal Release, Battle Litany and if there's a Fey Glow/Light (which ever one it is) for Skillspeed. I also doubt Potions will make a difference.

As for food, we also have Morel Salads and Baked Pipira Pira , Which are DET, and CTR foods. I might do some Rotation testing with 2.41 and check for any inconsistencies.

[Dervy]

If anyone is interested, new weights shifted a lot for i190 baseline:

WD: 9.221
STR: 1.000
DET: 0.127
CRT: 0.141
SS: 0.095

10 ilvls made CRT jump 0.1, and DET by 0.07, lol. Dat STR scaling though.

They don't make a difference on gear over 600 Accuracyish. If you're doing Ravana, switch the Prototype i190 legs for i180s, but that's as far as Gear Optimisation will go for the next 2 weeks.

Without the ravana weapon and with the ring sitting at 2.41 ss, should I hold off on ring or just equip it anyway?

[zeth07]

I cleared the first floor and got a bolt drop before I looked into any optimal loot path, and I don't have the Ravana weapon, so what would be the best path to take at this point? What kind of accuracy requirements are there for Alexander? Right now I'm at 601 accuracy, but if I get the ring I'll lose 20 acc which seems like a lot. Is 581 still enough for Floors 3 and 4?

[Aiurily]

i haven't missed T3 at 517 acc

probably likely that ravana has a higher acc requirement than alexander

Also, having to attack from the front.

I didn't get a chance to work on the sim today since I was busy, but by tomorrow maybe you'll have definite "mathematical proof".

Though one of you guys needs to actually write up the correct rotation. The script is not going to write itself, and I do not play this class.

0 Sarcasm in what I'm about to ask.

Is there an issue with the rotation on page 1? I try to keep up with the thread, but may have missed something.

[Butcherboy]

I know this is a drg forum, but does this stat weight also apply to mnk or just purely drg stat weight?

[Outfoxed]

"However, you might now ask yourselves, why don't I go for HP - IDC4 over H - IDC4 - P? This is a very good and valid question. Before with our 2.0 Rotation, using HP-IDC was equivalent to trading 1 tick of Phlebotomize for 1 tick of Chaos Thrust + 1 GCD 10% buffed via Disembowel. " (from the OP)

Correct me if I'm wrong but in 2.0 there are 7.5(3 GCDs) seconds between phlebotomize and chaos thrust using the HPIDC combo. how did you only calculate 1 tick of phlebotomize (3 seconds)?

By moving Phlebotomize up 3 GCDs you are getting an extra 7.5 seconds of phleb out not 3. Phleb was being casted 2.5 seconds in as opposed to 10 seconds in when using HPIDC. That's 2.5 DoT ticks or 75 potency.

I know I'm late on this but it was always an inconsistency I found that was never adequately explained.

Given the current stat weights, assuming your gear has enough ss to hit 2.4, it sounds like food that optimizes crit is going to be the best currently?
