How to Dragoon per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[Imagerror]

I've got an full 230 LORE build, anyone can recommend decent DRG Melds?
So far I've been experimention with Crit and Skillspeed (Tier5) and no Determination.

ACC: 693
CRIT: 872
DET: 486
AttP: 1216
SS: 791

I'd avoid putting stat points in acc/ss on the relic actually and dump everything on det/crit. This way you adjust melds/gear while still getting full scaling benefits (in future iterations of the relic I mean) on those two stats; if I remember correctly, splitting stat points in more than 2 stats led to a very small loss of points (like 1 or 2 less than a pure det/crit). Not sure how/if this would translate in a much larger pool of stats implemented on the weapon.

If you can put 240 points of stats in it, and crit maxes out at 120 and det maxes out at 115, then you'd have 5 leftover stat points. I figure why not use em all? This is of course assuming that whole bonus point thing they talked about in the live letter only rushes you to the cap as opposed to giving you extra points

It's so the anima can whisper mean things while you're stabbing them.

Got it few minutes ago from Ozma.



Nice stats but if I equip this one my SS is going down and I'd have to grab 50~70 SS to back it up. Not sure how I'll do that. Gotta think about it.

You know, with 600SS, maybe lower, you can now double weave with a potion. It's absolutely ridiculous.

There might be an opportunity to completely rework the opener.

H -> [LEGS + BL] -> ID -> [BOTD+BFB] -> DI -> [POT+IR] -> CT -> [PS] -> 4TH -> [JUMP] -> P -> [SSD] -> TT -> [DFD] -> VP -> [LIFES + GK] -> FT -> 4TH [LEGS]

EDIT:

My simulation shows it to be a 23DPS increase just from that swap, as long as you have low enough SS to do a POT + IR opener. That's insanity.

At 557 SS, it looks like there's a 0.1/0.2 GCD clip, so at 600, I can see a 0.2/0.25 clip. I sincerely doubt such a small clip will mitigate a 23DPS increase, which my simulation cannot account for unfortunately.

Could give it a shot yeah.

Worked around to get a decent setup with the new 230 body and I'll be using this :

I'll add one more CRIT V Mat to the body.

Edit : fixed build posted

I'm completely lost on how to make the anima work without resorting to using the augmented lore chest. Otherwise I will be stuck with 530 Skillspeed. I'm using the Horde Spear as a placeholder for now. Any suggestions? And even when I switch things around to compensate (mainly swapping savage and lore neck or belt) I end up with with under 1k crit.

This is what I've got so far.
