Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[whiskeybravo]

Same thing is happening to me with Novus. I went full DET/CRIT and now those ST pieces filled by ACC/DET looks nice

Nice! Glad to see I was on the right side. There was some debate when Novus first came out, some thought it was too good to be true (capping both crit AND det)

Anyways, here's some weights regarding leg pieces:

Melded i90
29 str
34 crit
(24 acc)
24 det (melded)
43.736

ST i100
34 str
27 det
(26 acc)
42.775

W. Astrum i100
34 str
38 crit
26 sksp
46.38

Astrum i110
39 str
41 crit
29 sksp
50.526

HA i110
39 str
41 sksp
(29 acc)
46.298

Accuracy isn't weighted, but I included for reference.

Taking this a step further with hq foods.. Let's say the ST legs give you enough accuracy to use Det food, and using W. Astrum legs you need to eat accuracy food:

ST legs w/ Black Truffle Risotto
42.775 + 7.747
50.522

W. Astrum Legs w/ Lava Toad Legs
46.38 + 2.222
48.602

Not a bad combo, really. But if you get i110 Astrum legs that will be favored slightly.

Those are really nice infos now
If i consider to take ST legs for ACC, then i can use Black Truffle Risotto and gettin more benefits weight

110 Astrum+Lava toad is about 52.700
ST+Risotto is really close: 50.500

thank you for your effort there whiskeybravo, its certainly appreciated.

Doesn't that weighting assume that crit and ss scale in a linear fashion, like str? i was under the impression that this was not the case.

atm. u can say MNK > BLM > DRG = SMN > BRD. (with BiS and same Skill-lvl)

[Sygmaelle]

Blm roughly do +20 to +30 more dps than us now single target.

Yes, its completely bullshit but well

That beein said yesterday was like 2152 dps combined for us in turn 8 (8.11 duration), dps breakdown is :

Monk 410, Drg 411, SMN 405, Blm 400, Brd 267


But on Rafflesia it was like

Monk 386, Drg 396, Smn 394, Blm 426, Brd 285 (4.19 duration)

Hi, can I ask you if these numbers are DPS or EncDPS data?

How is your Bard underperforming by that much? 260ish is extremely low, even if you sang songs the entire time. I peak close to 360-380 on T6.

Edit: got my numbers wrong, sorry. T8 is still pretty low, once again I'm around 350 there and I sing paeon 3times and ballad once.

So they have better aoe and better st than us...awesome. That's just..awesome.

... ._.;

I wonder if ninja will be any good...

Anyway more questions, is is really worth it to invest in the crafted head and belt? Are they just plain better than the HA variants? I've been holding out for the T8 helm and am still using the stupid wyrm's head piece, but I really wanna get rid of it...
