Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Aiurily]

it's like 3.6 str and it's going to be way more than 7m in melds

those rings and choker will cost you like 15mil each to meld on average at gilgamesh prices and the earrings will probably be around 7mil.

so like 52 mil for 3.6 str, ya that sounds mega sketch.

Would using the earrings only create a set with more stat weights?

ah, i just meant for one piece. overall if you had more piece the str (and gil cost) would add up yeah

i was comparing platinum earrings vs augmented ironworks (since i was about to buy those but held off after seeing the stats)

with iv crit/crit/acc/acc/sks, compared to the ironworks augmented earrings its

-5 str -4 acc +3 crit (0.699) +13 det (4.251) +9 skillspeed (1.782) - 1.732 effective str. if you're somewhat sane and just did quickarm 3, it's 6.138 difference. the -4 accuracy doesn't matter for me, since my end set was gonna have +5 extra over cap anyway, so it works out

edit:

for bracelets, the difference compared to augmented ironworks again, with crit/crit/det/det/sks iv

-5 str -4 acc +18 crit (4.194) +1 det (0.327) +6/9 skillspeed (1.188/1.782) = +0.709 str or 1.303 with quickarm iv last meld

for necklace, difference compared to dreadwyrm

-5 str +6/9 acc -4 crit (-0.932) +1 det (0.327) +19 skillspeed (3.762) = -1.843 str without factoring in the ACC

rings can have variable melds so that's too much work for me w

another week with 0 loot

another week with 0 loot

Got the gloves finally this week, 3rd drop in 13 weeks.
Haven't done T13 yet, we'll see if spear drops, none on server yet.

[rickyguo]

I'm not spending like 50mil on like 3str anyways

maybe only the earrings if it's a 1+ increase

The best accessories you should play around with are:

Earrings: 18ACC/18CRT/13DET/9SS -or- 9ACC/18CRT/13DET/18SS (Latter usually comes out on top)
Rings: 18ACC/18CRT/6DET/19SS -and/or- 9ACC/18CRT/12DET/19SS

Bracelets and Necklace are extremely situational.

rings are like 15mil each to meld and earrings 7m

not sure how much stat weights we are getting with a gear set with earrings or earrings and both rings since the sets you posted used choker too.

I honestly wouldn't personally recommend the set you recommend with crafted rings and crafted chokers. That would be like 52mil for 3 str and that's mega steep to me especially with nothing to really use it for and I'm not lacking gil.

Think we should look into the +stats on using just the earrings as thats the cheapest to meld at like maybe 7mil.

Well, if you did go for that max crafted meld set I posted a few weeks ago, then you'd want this:

STR: 663
ACC: 353
CRT: 584
DET: 408
SS: 411
Weighting: 1043.617
DPS: 578.63133
Raid STR: 593.35988

Sadly, if you've invested into those boots already, then... The earrings are so good for us DRGs all because of the Accuracy on it.

The only way to use both the boots and crafted earrings would be to change the melds on your gloves to 9 ACC/ 25 CRT/ 18 DET/ 25 SS. You'd then switch out to using 9 ACC/18CRT/13DET/18SS Earring melds.

Unless you go for 2 i110 accessories? 9ACC/18CRT/13DET/18SS basically on both Ring and Earring.

ya that set seems to be pretty good for cost.

I'll meld that when I actually get a spear `-` maybe in another 2 months and no helm+gloves.

I haven't actually remelded anything but the belt because I have too much accuracy with the augmented spear.

THAT ACCURACY!

So we're going with this set, due to being mostly cost effective?
