Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[SunnyHirose]

Would the additional strength have some effect to the stat weights by even a very marginal degree?

Yes, by a very marginal degree.

Example baseline: http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/OEMD (nocrafted BiS)

With 665 STR (and with EMX's spreadsheet modified so CT isn't 10% clipped 100% of the time):

D: 0.325
C: 0.227
W: 9.294
S: 0.173

With 684 STR:

D: 0.325
C: 0.232
W: 9.515
S: 0.177

[EDIT: I also think that this above build is problematic because it has no Skill Speed. Unless I'm mistaken, at 0 Skill Speed it would be impossible to buff Heavy Thrust hits with the Heavy Thrust status or to buff Disembowel hits with the Disembowel status, so you'll be in worse shape than the stat weights alone suggest.]

Naw, the delay induced by the animation is your margin of error (>1 second). Try it with all your skill speed gear off and take a look at your combat log; you'll see that the reapplications are just fine if your inputs are.
