How to Dragoon per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[ReliaWylder]

Sets with skill speed from 463 (the lowest possible limit to still have Blood of the Dragon) to 626 were calculated. The A4S sets with higher skill speeds than 626 (from 627 to 669) are included here for completion's sake, but the top set with a higher skill speed would only place at #13 in the lower skill speed list. http://pastebin.com/WHZpu46s

For beginning raiders, a good progression of sets that doesn't waste items by only buying things that will be kept to the final BIS set would be this:
Edit: These sets mean "having cleared A2S, A3S, etc.." and is generally pretty greedy, so it only works if you're allowed to roll on all gobcoats. Additionally, it's not a good optimization for trying to clear A3S, but if you're comfortable with that then it saves you effort once you beat A3S.

Notes: The simulator does not factor in party buffs such as Selene's Fey Wind; it is possible that the true BIS would change in that case, but that is meta-dependent and you may not always have a SCH in your party. This simulator calculates BIS with food in mind.

P.S. The final set is Aiurily's set.

This is a little late, but I'm just looking at this now. Shouldn't a set designed to progress on a fight NOT use items obtained from that fight? It's not very useful to have a set designed for A3S that requires a bare minimum of 3 clears of it before you can even use it. x:

I took it to mean "this is the best set I can come up with if you've cleared this floor."

This is the best set to farm this floor.
