[Stormblood] [Dragoon Rotation] COME ON AND SLAM

[Nora_of_Mira]

Has anyone experimented with a high SKS build (1600+)? I met a DRG in-game while pugging O2S who claims he can get 200+ dps than the DH/crit builds because you "get more hits off during buff windows". I haven't been able to test this (because I dont have the gil yet) but if so, I'm really interested.

a question, at susano extreme, some people are claiming that 3100 is the minimal dps requirement. I find it quite odd, because ive been in groups with way lower dps and we still made it. So whats actually the minimal? I would say about 2700 and not dying.

Sounds more like the minimal DPS they are willing to accept for their farms, but don't quote me on this. I have not done so, but know people that have and my understanding is that they are more mechanics based than anything else.

Without any proof, he is most likely talking shit. The SKS threshold you would need to get an extra GCD within a buff window would likely need to be quite higher than that (maybe in the 2500+ league, I'm not quite sure). Also because BfB is no longer 30%, and DS and BfB only line up every 3rd BfB and 2nd DS which would still make it weaker than BfB, getting extra hits in the buff windows isn't a super large DPS gain anyway.

However, DRG gear always has copious amounts of SkS so maybe the Devs are trying to tell us something, no more TP issues coupled with the damage buff to autos and DET being buffed for autos aswell means that SkS is no longer a trash stat at least, the weight is quite close. However SkS suffers the most with downtime which is quite a common thing in O3S and O4S. Dhit and Crit despite being RNG are far more reliable
