Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

So, how much of a DPS loss is getting Wyrm Mail over Relic +1 first? Really tired of looking at ugly ass darklight & wondering how much I'd be missing out on if I got the body first & kept normal relic.

This is easy enough to calculate using the stat weights. Gae Bolg+1 increases WD by +2, STR by +4, and CRIT by +3 (also a small accuracy boost). Switching from DL chest to Wyrm gives you +9 STR, +6 DET, -19 SS and +24 CRIT. Using the following weights from the guide:

Weapon Damage: 7.54
Strength: 1
Determination: .22
Crit: 0.16
Skill Speed: .146

That means the +1 increases your stat score by 2*7.54 + 4*1 + 3*0.16=+19.56

The Wyrm chest increases your score by 9*1 + 6*0.22 - 19*0.146 + 24*0.16=+11.386

Moral of the story is stat weights make gear decisions easy, and always go for Weapon Damage

Yeah it's based on hitting 46x (the two sets listed should give 466 and 470) acc with maximum stat weights.

I did not include HQ Crafted gear, however, since I don't know what the stat caps on those look like. Only Myth and Allagan pieces were considered.

Good, I'll throw the 470 acc list up on the guide then since you said you barely lose any side-stats, and having 470 accuracy is a good hedge for Coil until we have a solid number.
