How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[enil]

...

I think there's a bunch of stuff you are misunderstanding.

PPS. PPS is being used to discuss difference between rotations - not stats. There's no discussion of stats because that's not what's being discussed when we talk about PPS.

Law. Don't theorycraft on the gear that is available? There are things to be discussed that aren't gear/stat dependant (like rotations?). There is no issue with people trying to maximise their dps with the gear they have even if it may not be relevant in two weeks. If you don't like discussing it, fine, don't need to tell other people not to.

HT uptime/grace. I don't even understand what you are trying to say here. Are you trying to say we lose damage in some way when we clip HT?

Stat weights. I think you are misunderstanding something here, stat weights are basically saying, if I add 1Det at this point in time how much damage relative do the other stats do I gain? If any stat weights were released right now they would be for LAW gear and already have assumed 2.4~ GCD because that's what the assumed level of gear would be.

I feel like your real point is is the damage gain from the 2.4 GCD worth the SkS? What is the exact PPS gain from 2.5GCD to 2.4GCD? Is it worth the potential possible STR/DET/CRIT loss in the future if we need to either meld or use lower ilvl gear to reach that level of SkS? (Though by your own point, it's pointless to discuss since the gear isn't out).
