Level 80 DRG Optimal Stat Numbers

[Renkei]

Not everyone knows that stats are tiered. In fact, you probably wouldn't know either if it weren't for the hard work of this game's theorycrafting community in deducing the damage formula and stat formulae. Before we had good knowledge on this, someone calculated spurious stat weights that were treated as gospel but were in fact inaccurate and led to many people making sub-optimal gearing choices in Heavensward, because the actual reality hadn't been properly deduced.

If you agree, then why do you use them? Why would you quote numbers when a priority is sufficient enough and probably more correct than the gearing decisions that would be made using what are effectively numbers pulled out of thin air? Are these weights calculated for your current gear, for his current gear, or what? And what about when he changes gear, when these numbers you've quoted become completely wrong? The issue isn't so much that they "aren't accurate" but that they are intellectually dishonest with respect to how gearing calculations are done and how statting actually works in this game.

If you have the methodology for calculating these stat weights, by all means please share it, because I would like to know how you did it.

Finally, nobody here is advertising the discord but is suggesting that OP joins it because it is the place where most guides and theorycrafting information is hosted. If the information is best gained from outside the OF, why not redirect a poster to where they can get the best information for the game possible?

It's just providing simple napkin math that anybody can do, It's not intellectually dishonest thing to do, an intellectually dishonest thing to do is to argue in the defense of a community that you are apart of and then advertise joining that community and detesting any type of suggestions prior as incorrect because they aren't popular views, Which is literally Witch-Hunting (I have nothing to personally gain by suggesting anything to anyone else on how to gear their job versus the gains someone else has of advertising their own discord with an alt account , It isn't the method you'd use for Min-Maxing which is true. Personally I find the Spreadsheet Located here by Jahadaunt edited by Eve Malqir to be useful. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...gid=1450208080


I think your nature of your posts are more targeted personal attacks and doesn't do any justice to the OP, I think if you want to help Them it'd be better for you to post resources and statistics instead of having them go over to an external community with an external application to seek those resources. If the resources belong to your community and they find that information useful then post those resources here instead when people ask these kinds of questions, Afterward leave it up to them whether or not to join it based off the information provided, Gate Keeping isn't a good way to get anyone to join your community and I'd say this position is valid constructive criticism without any malicious intent.
