How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[HeavensSword]

WOW! This gear creep is unbelievable. At full i120 "bis" we'll be averaging 20% CRT and a crit multiplier of 1.558. That's basically 2.2 levels of crit.

We gained 300 crit approximately from a 30 ilvl jump (i180-i210).

So if there's a similar trend of 300+ per 30 ilvls, I'll guesstimate +600 at the end of the expansion (3.4)...

34% Crit Chance with a multiplier of 1.6987... That's scary if they follow this 300 Crit jump per patch...

I'm hoping they don't go too crazy for the sake of longevity. Wouldn't want to have to do a stat squish like WoW needed in their recent expansion.

DS sucks in these new expert dungeons as of right now. Mostly because we arent as overgeared for it as we were for expert in 2.x yet. I can spam DS for 1000 TP and invigorate and still only have taken out about 30-40% of the hoard's HP pool, then I'm effectively neutered for quite a while. I'd rather'd IDC/TTT with georskoguls thrown in the mix, otherwise you'll have nothing for the next round of adds. I'm hopeful they will scale Doom Spike's damage at some point or reduce it's TP cost, but if nerfing Holy/Flare is any indication, likely not.

I've mainly had issues when the other DPS's AoE isn't up to snuff, otherwise after i've used my invigorate, I stop my AoE when i get to about 400 tp and then resume ST on the mobs remaining.

I'm still annoyed by the BRDs and MCHs that don't know how (or refuse) to use their TP regen though; at least after an AoE intensive group between pulls would be nice.
