How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[spelley]

*snip*

As someone who sometimes just frankly doesn't have the time or desire to do a bunch of calculations, the time other people spend making BiS lists and efficiency calculations = more time I can actually spend playing the game. If someone takes 10 minutes to write this down and figure stuff out, like Dervy has, and even just 6 people read it...

10min * 6 = an hour of play time

It's just more efficient. On top of that, the more people who actually provide this information, the more they can swap knowledge which can result in better data which can then be shared, and reduces time wasted. If everyone is doing their own thing and not sharing (because why share if everyone is expected to do it themselves?), knowledge growth is diminished. It's basically the equivalent of saying that people shouldn't make EX Primal guides. All the knowledge share is doing is reducing wasted time.

In the end, of course, unless you are doing Alexander Savage it doesn't matter one bit WHAT you buy first, as every other piece of content is easily doable regardless of how close you are to BiS. My own personal goals revolve mostly around glamour. Which is why I'm going:

Weapon -> Belt -> Body -> Boots -> Gloves -> Head -> Pants. Reasoning? Body -> Boots -> Gloves makes up the majority of your visible glamour.
