Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[SunnyHirose]

In terms of sequence, we could say that recovery and start-up states both begin on skill activation. Recovery time on non-animation locking skills is short but substantial.

I feel the fighting game paradigm isn't completely analogous because game state in ARR is generally decoupled from the character animation. You can cancel the start-up animation for a GCD without canceling the skill, though it won't hasten the time the skill takes effect.

Yan im so sorry.

Congratulations!

Oh also, I've gotten round to making a blog where I can continuously keep posting my theorycrafting updates, instead of clogging up these forums all the time, plus it'll serve as a nice archive for people to go to, kinda like what BLITZBALL did at launch. It's in my signature if anyones interested. I'll be trying to post there as frequently as I can. I've also got the latest weights there as well. It's still really bare and I'm working to fill it up as much as I can >_<

10 minutes worth of heavy swing - not sure if this is enough data.

Will do MRD shortly.

both were done with identical stats so no idea how to explain the discrepency

[Dervy]

10mins is enough. I approximately gauge where each class lines up in damage with the same stat-spread really.

Also, that 312 DET = joocy. Any chance you could get PLD done as well, along with MRD? I've encountered a rounding error with my last test of 51WD, 450 STR, 268 DET with the MRD/PLD. One test has the MRD dealing more damage than the PLD, where as my recent one has them dealing the same. I just wish I knew how this game rounds up numbers

[enil]

my PLD is sadly level 40 only - updated original post with MRD data.

[Dervy]

D'aw. That's fine Thanks a lot!

[enil]

updated original post with mrd data.

[Dervy]

That discrepancy is expected, don't worry

[HeavensSword]

What would be needed for your pld data?

Maybe I could manage to upgrade my burtgang for 51 dmg and run a test either tonight or this weekend.
