Sigurd's Descendants: The Art Of Dragon Slaying.

Not really. I see shining outperform trishula all the time on non-one-shottable things.

Sad that an ambu weapon beats an aeonic of the same type but it is what it is.

According to simulation against target with Apex Toad stats, it's not even close.

Trishula: 2.76 sec to WS
Trishula DPS: 12874
Trishula WS median: 53781

Shining One: 4.425 second to WS
Shining One DPS: 17257
Shining One WS median: 90305

90k WS median? Really? Sounds like bs

Sounds like you need better impulse drive sets.

Nyame A path is pretty amazing for DT tp set on DRG. Also Kraken Club/AM3 builds. You're not going to use B path for anything besides Raiden Thrust on DRG and most of the DDs are similar between AF/relic/empy WSD head pieces because of the stats vs nyame.

K123 is right, I haven't used sim in like 7 months and forgot i put custom moonshade earring there to simulate savagery. I'm really sorry hahaha

checking it again..
I also added Angon because attack wasn't capped.

Trishula: 2.76 sec to WS
Trishula DPS: 12494
Trishula WS median: 43824

Shining One: 4.812 second to WS
Shining One DPS: 13802
Shining One WS median: 74605

Stardiver is at 1000TP+, Impulse at 1750TP+
Sim shows that waiting for higher TP with Trishula is DPS loss.

Unless you want to use savage blade, or Gae Buide..

Think that was specific to headgear, so emp+3 fills that spot

As much as i would like to justify path A Nyame as a DRG main.... path B offers so much more for other jobs its hard to turn it down. Nyame path B still gets DA+4-5% at ranks 25-30.

and just to put above numbers to perspective:

Gae Buide: 3.283 sec to WS (1250TP+)
Gae Buide DSP: 16872
Gae Buide WS median: 69541

Naegling/Kraken: 1.401 sec to WS (1300TP+)
Naegling/Kraken DPS: 26646
Naegling/Kraken WS median: 76160

Naegling/Fencer: 3.255 sec to WS (1250TP+)
Naegling/Fencer: 18828
Naegling/Fencer WS median: 86058

Naegling all the things XD

I was messing with the calc. Even R25 Path B Nyame surprisingly looked decent for some multi hit WS. Mainly the pieces that get STR Augments and Atleast 5-6 DA.

I wanted Path A's

Pretty disgusting lmao

I wish I had a KC. If you don't mind is it possible to check DPS with. :

Naegling + Ternion+1
Naegling + D Degen +1
Naegling + Mktis (lol I know...)

Or if you can throw that calc my way. I am currently using the all jobs calc But it seems a bit wonky sometimes.

Also I am trying to "Get gud" with my Stardiver sets. But it kind of feels like Impulse with Trishula are a bit more consistent.

It wouldn't be much different than an Anguta DRK spamming Cross Reaper. It breaks my heart just a bit though.

Curious what the DPS would look like.

That is what I use too, but I haven't found it wonky at all :D

Yeah I have REMA polearms and it's so *** annoying using Naegling for ***that i absolutely have to. I dont mind doing lower damage just to use my polearms.

Ok I havent expected that...
It shows 25600 dps, just 1k behind Kraken >.>

Sword on DRG is (still) gross. Just make prime and be done with it.

It seemed like after a certain point, damage would stop increasing. Mainly with certain relic WS.

But if I tested it out in game, numbers would be a bit higher. Maybe it's just an issue with Ranged or Relic WS? *shrug*





Appreciate the update on stuff though. Ternion+1 is an excellent dagger, Gleti's just over shadows it on other jobs.

I didn't think it would be that close to KC however.

Definitely make the Prime. It's so good.

Ternion being that good doesn't surprise me. Lower delay would be less attractive for jumps, but I still believe those numbers would be close. It would definitely help people I play with who have less gear to be able to do segments more easily since the gil requirement is so much lower and it would be a good acc swap.

If piercing resistance wasn't a thing, I'd be all Polearm purist, but I'd rather be playing DRG than any other DD so I'll take what I can get. And what I can get is an absolute murder machine with Savage Blade. On the other hand, when a mob is piercing weak, I am smiling very wide because you done *** up mob and I will happily put you into the ground.

DRG has so much going for it right now and very decent flexibility. You might as well enjoy it

Sounds like you don't understand FFXI and I was right. No worries, you've learned the answer.

Have you updated the program / files? There have been numerous changes over the last few months.

Nah, your sets still need work.

Thx for that info. I havent been aware about that huge delay fix for Dual Wield!

Rechecked Naegling sets and results are kinda shocking!

Naegling/Kraken DPS: 18717
Naegling/Ternion+1: 17052
Naegling/Fencer: 18812

So looks like you don't need Kraken Club at all, especially for Segments, because /war for Fencer also offers access to Judgment, which is by far the best option for anything that requires blunt damage. Fencer TP set is also much more straight forward (unless you really have access to Nyame path A) and can be used against high evasion stuff too, since there is no non ilvl weapon involved.

This is just paper math though, doesn't explain kill speed. For the sake of full clearing you're obviously fine with a mix of DRG and WAR with no KC needed. 2 SAM can full clear too, just don't take DRK.

The irony of Asura will never cease to amaze me.

Only partially Asura fault because no other server has PUGs to speak of, but if you only ever PUG segments you're probably gonna tryhard and have a skewed perspective of what is possible.

Sadly you can hit capped damage with Shining One fairly easy. Either sort your sets out of sort your support out.

That doesn't mean you can average 90k though. I called it out as wrong and he confirmed he was wrong. What exactly don't you understand?

Amuse me and explain the "irony".
I don't think that means what you think it means.

DRK is objectively worse than DRG WAR SAM. Pug or not doesn't change this fact. DRK DRK can probably full clear but then so could NIN NIN.

You complain that you can't find people who will let you play the way you want for your $12.99, but then turn around and tell people how to play (they can't play DRK) with their $12.99. You are a victim of the meta while also perpetuating the meta by telling people they shouldn't play in sub-optimal ways. Except doing BRD songs wrong (but that's another level of meta-ception)

If 2 DRK can full clear then why not take them? Keep digging my friend.
