Does anyone happen to know how much DPS we should be doing in T9? (w/Liberator?)
Pre-Megaflare I tend to average around >300, but after that it just plummets to <250.
I hold out my CDs for Binding Chain, and just deal with the mechanics normally, saving SD/DD for movement.
Should this be the way to tackle it, and should the DPS be that low?

Depend of your ilvl and of so many things like, do you get thermionic / thunder / the fire out often ? how do your group adjust for the super novas before hand so you can continue to dps on Nael, stuff like that. There's not really a lot of alternatives when you re constantly the target of RNjesus.

Just like in turn 7 in short, already happened that i had like 4 - 5 shriek in there in one attempt

Got High Allagan Spear & High Allagan Boots today, super stoked.

Anyway back on topic, with those 115 sets, any conclusions on the overall 'bis' set? I prefer the two options with 412 ss, the one I linked had slightly higher det, yours had higher crit.

I'm going to use your set as it seems to have a good balance of det and crt. Also according to stat weights it's better anyways.
Format: CRT+DET +(SkS)

I wouldn't recommend the last set at all since it's just about a .03s decrease in GCD.

Congrats on your spear/boots! Hoping I see it this week myself, but I never saw t5 spear so I'm not going to get my hopes up.

Side note: I do wish SkS builds were more sustainable. Because at 500 SkS currently I'm pushing some good numbers on T8. But I'm TP starved almost constantly. I have to tell the brd to give me TP song all the time.

What's the recommended iLevel for doing turns 3~5 as a DRG? Looking to get the i100 body piece this week, then start working on the arms / feet. I'd love to start doing turns 6+ to get some i110 items + sands of time, but I wasn't sure if I should wait till I get those pieces first before even attempting 3~5.

What you're wearing right now is perfectly fine for the original Coil turns. I mean at the time i90 gear and i95 weapon was the best you could have prior Second Coil launching so while you might not have the best pieces for each slot your gear is more than appropriate and have more than the needed accuracy to actually do those turns.

A decent player should be able to carry their weight in T5 in the ilvl80s.

Studying and perfecting mechanics makes a BIG difference, especially in T6+ because of the high amount of movement. Basically, if you beat T5, then you can pull enough weight through T6 and so on, since you'll keep gearing yourself as you go. I believe the average ilvl of the first T9 clear was 96.
