How to Dragoon per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[Umbrax]

Go with this http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/Z38R

Ariyala relic stat allocation is odd atm, as it usually is, so if you want 3 different stats on it, the maximum infused stats is 283/285

The set you linked, if I'm not wrong would be as follows: http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/Z4UI = 3471.686

As we can only get 1 jewel per week, I'm using this so far: http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/Z4TR = 3471.781

As you can see, the set I'm using is wasting way too much skill speed and I'm still in the 2.39 tier

So even tho the set you linked with the corrected relic stats is lower in ariyala (super tight difference), it's actually higher because you are gaining 21 determination (4,347) vs 8 crit (2,232)

I'm looking forward to go for it next week if we don't discover something better, GJ!

Yeah, 283/284 stats is what you can achieve. This is the lazy set I'm currently using so I'm not burning food for everything that requires 699 acc, like all the bird farming I'm still doing. http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/Z59D

Hello,

My dragoon is my only job, and I try to have the best stuff, as everyone. But I don't know how to choose between different gears. For example for feet, I have :
+ Prototype Alexandrian Sollerets : IL 250 / STR 89 / ACCU 72 / VIT 98 / CRIT 51
+ Shire Pathfinder Sollerets : IL 260 / STR 96 / CRIT 76 / VIT 107 / SS 53
+ Diabolic Sabaton of Maiming : IL 260 / STR 96 / ACCU 76 / VIT 107 / DET 51

I know that STR is very important, as CRIT and DET. So how can I make a choice ?
Thanks for advices

There's this thing called "stat weight" which pretty much gives a value for crit/det/sks in terms of str. Check Dervy's site for details: https://dervyxiv.wordpress.com/stat-weights/

Then you can use Ariyala's website (http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/DRG) and click on the BiS solver to show stat weights for every piece.

It's 99% of the time the best to go with the piece with the highest STR value. There are some cases where a piece of gear will be loaded with enough bad stats for a lower ilevel item to be better but this is rare.
If you don't feel like consulting a website whenever you're choosing a piece of gear (which you should, mind you, if you want the most out of your resources) there's a simplified priority list of stats:

ACC(up to 699)>STR>CRIT>DET>SKSP

Looking at stat-weight alone for a single piece of gear can be deceiving as it doesn't account for accuracy and massive spikes/drops in skill speed which can make it worse that it looks on paper. Not having enough accuracy makes all your other stats worth less since you aren't actually hitting your target and having too much or too little of skill speed can mess up your rotation big time. Linking your full gear set would be helpful when looking for gear-related advice.

Forget relic/alex spears, diadem weapons are i280 random stats, though I'm sure with enough grinding it won't matter lol.

Hei there, i'm an old FF14 player who mains dragoon. I've been out of the game for 10+ months now so i'm a lil bit outdated with BiS and opener/rotation. A friend of mine told me to check this post to find the new mid-core and hard-core rotation + BiS for dragoon, but honestly i scrolled down tons of pages but i couldn't find the exact page (maybe i'm blind or just tired, hopefully it's not in the main post, in that case i'm a lil tard ). Can anyone please link me to it or give me some hints for that? :P Thanks in advice.
