How to Dragoon per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[whiskeybravo]

SO which one should I chose, or should i keep my current setup with the 535 sks.

To me it looks like you have 2 options really. Get eso head piece to drop acc and raise skill speed. And/or get eso ring and neck.

There's not a huge difference if you want to wear 190 wrist for that skill speed until you get a few Gordian accessories or can afford to upgrade to another eso piece. Your left side is fine for A1 and A2. Head is a good buy, though, since it doesn't drop until a3..


Also, I went from 605 skill speed to 681 (2.40 to 2.37 gcd).. It didn't do much for my damage except making it more difficult to double weave in the opener >.< Other than that it didn't mess up BotD timing or really give me any more leeway on the timer (sometimes it actually felt like I lost some time but it could've been due to other things)

Something interesting someone was throwing around the other day is the idea of dropping Phlebotomize from the rotation altogether. With a 2.4 or lower gcd, you could get 4 gsk per minute - the timing is really tight at 2.4, but doable. I just ran numbers on it and it's only ~3 pps loss (not completely accurate, but this is like less than a 2% drop just counting base rotation + GSK damage) assuming you maintain the 4 gsk per minute. The main benefit, though, is that your TP per GCD drops from 64 to 61, significantly curbing the spending of resources. This could be really useful to employ during periods of extended uptime where TP concerns are actually significant.

I do that in dungeons to get what seems like an extra GK off, but haven't tried it anywhere else really. Driving in A2 so probably won't get a chance to try it anywhere else lol
