How to Dragoon per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[JackFross]

Is it just the weapon?

Yes. Absolutely. It's a full +1 Weapon Damage on top of the jump in Strength. That usually equates to ~40-50 dps gain, just from changing that one thing.

Thanks!

I'm sorry for you. The Lore chest is bad.

But uh, you basically want to have as much gear as possible give you crit and/or det and then meld in whichever other stat of the two it's missing, after ACC and SKS caps are reached.

Any idea on the 3.2 BiS for dragoon, haven't seen many since patch hit.

I believe Dervy is still running calculations to find the exact BiS, but the set I'm currently building toward is - http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/T02S

And, without A8S killed, I'm aiming for - http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/T02X

Depending on misses, I might swap the Crit V in the belt for an Accuracy V instead. It took me a while to work out a pair of sets where any overlap pieces were rocking the exact same materia. I'm planning to immediately meld those pieces in that manner and then fill in my 220/230 with IVs to fill the gaps needed for ACC/SKS while I progress.
