Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[whiskeybravo]

Been working on some sets to compare going with 41 acc/31 det as opposed to 41 crit/31 det on novus.

The sets I've come up with are extremely close, total weight of sets 826.321 (499 acc) vs 826.661 (496 acc), slightly in favor of the crit build.

However, the accuracy build carries about 20 more Det. This is all assuming access to every piece avail. Even though the crit build slightly outweighs the acc build, it's reliant more on crit, which begs the question is it really better vs the consistent damage increase from Det?

I don't know, just doing this all on good old fashioned pen & paper, and not sure how the ~826 total weight compares to the weight of the established BiS (excluding HA weapon). And there may be some slight variation on the actual pieces, though I've tried to spec as best I can figure.

I guess the one advantage of spec'ing for crit on weapon is since the Liberator/HA weapon don't have any accuracy, most people's gear is already set up to plug in another weapon with no acc. Mine is the total opposite, I've been building around acc on Animus so to switch to a weapon with no acc would mean replacing almost every piece of gear I have.

Edit/conclusions: Based on the OP pre/post-T9 calculations I guess I'm not that far off. Didn't account for food in the above. It really doesn't seem like there is that much difference whether you go 44 crit or 44 acc, it just changes how you gotta gear up otherwise. It's probably easier to go ahead and go crit build, considering gear progression, but for anyone like myself that's been reliant on weapon accuracy, there isn't that much difference between the 2 choices. The biggest challenge is attainability of Astum vs HA body piece so you aren't overloaded on accuracy.
