Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

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.

I'm not sure on that one, it's just based off the weights that have been established for comparing gear sets/individual items. Treat them as "best estimates".

If what you mean is something like, (paraphrasing) "no returns on crit above 550", that may be the case.. I think someone else was saying 30% crit rate is the highest, so if that's the case then yea it's possible there is a stat cap for stuff like that. If there is a cap, I'm not sure we actually have items to reach it, and beside that I can't imagine there would be a cap already in the game, we still have a lot of progression ahead of us so why would we be so close to the cap so soon? The other thing I've read, specifically regarding tanking, is the parry rate which seems to be steps rather than linear. Like you have 23% parry at 380 str, and you need 410 str to get to 24% parry (making up numbers but just for example). So crit could work something like that, maybe it's 30% crit from 550 to 580 or something, and we just don't have the gear to get to the next "step".
