How to Dragoon per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[SunnyHirose]

Someone on a certain discussion forum came up with those numbers through what amounts to guessing, then making a thread to publish them (maybe not wrong per se, but I feel that it was premature and irresponsible because what happened next is the only likely consequence). The image was based off those numbers, and they made their way back to the same certain discussion forum in that form. So they get cited to this day despite each of these threads having commenters pointing out that the numbers are both highly overestimated and that the theory is based on complete nonsense.

roddit pls

With materia on raid gear being a thing, I don't think it's awfully convenient to plan for multiple caps anymore. Considering it's not easy to even make a good set while using Vs to meld above 696 and below 705, I think 705 is probably our practical cap unless it turns out the A8 cap is much lower than that. Sadly, I'm not finding any reputable statements saying it is, and my raid group just ain't there yet (staffing issues!).
