How to Dragoon per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[Degaulace]

Interesting topic, as I'm levelling up my DRG right now...
Hey Thendiel, is it ok for me to translate your first four posts into French ? Could be a good idea, as it's a bit hard sometimes, even for me...

Think the only thing I'd focus on upgrading would be wrists, skill speed ring and maybe boots with less acc, and a ton of crit. Other than that, our i210 pieces are pretty much ideal if you're looking to stack crit and hit the skills speed "sweet spot". I'd just focus on reducing accuracy to 647 with food and 590ish SS with more crit/det.

Don't think I've seen a diadem piece that exceeds the overall amount of of secondary stats per piece, and far too many pieces that don't even come close to the total number of secondary stats the 210 gear has.

Feel free to translate Dervy's work into French! He says he doesn't mind.

Anyone any guide visual/written on how to push more dps during thordan ex?

I seem to be slacking lmao, atm i201 gear. but seems to me that drg can't get higher than 1000 dps on that fight being i201 :c

All of the advice on this thread for Thordan has been very good. Here is a video of a strong clear of mine, if it's any help, although my recording quality is poor and I have not included any audio commentary.

My eyes xD

Thanks for that vid Thendiel I pretty much stopped raiding a few months ago but am getting back into things again. Always great to have a good drg perspective

Thank you guys very much for the tips and this video! My DPS has been way low on Thordan, and it seems my main problem is being overly cautious.. but clearly I just need to push myself more. Too afraid of murdering myself on mechanics with jump and losing CDs..

I live by this rule, bad DPS is still better than dead DPS.

This is very true. Even if you're doing stellar DPS, one death causes you to drop by over 10% on average, unless you're raised immediately and it happened just before botd came off cd. Always better to stay alive than try to pump out two extra hits.

Is Battle Litany additive or multiplicative?

If your base crit chance% is 13%, would Battle Litany increase it to 14.3%, or would it add a straight up +15% making your base crit chance% 28%?....or does it add +15% to the "Critical Hit Rate" stat like gear...

[Sleigh]

It is additive.

[JackFross]

It adds to your critical hit chance. It doesn't boost the amount of damage your critical hits do. If you have a base crit chance of 13%, your critical hits will do ~153% damage. With Internal Release, you rise to 23% crit rate. Battle Litany gets you to 28%. Both together jump you to 38%. Regardless which of those buffs you have on, your crit damage will still be 153%.
