We'd all experience a lot of discord if we all lived in Ohio, too.

Man the Buckeyes suck.

Merits:
You do not need 5/5 Angon, there is no point at all to put any more than 3 into angon unless you're planning to wipe during a zerg, because that'd be the only time 5/5 angon would last that long. Also, you're entirely wrong when you say that no other group 2 merit directly enhances your damage. 5 minute recast on Deep Breathing adds a large amount of damage over a period of time as to compared 1 in deep breathing or not even having it at all. Considering the nature of Drakesbane, angon doesn't even directly increase your damage as you suggest. Deep Breathing though will always be an increased amount of damage, even if the wyvern gets resisted.

I guess you never do Limbus Bosses, Salvage, ZNMs, Sky Gods, HNM, Odin or etc on drg where angon duration is invaluable, if all you do easy stuff and zerg on drg then you'd be right and Angon is only for your damage really?, I thought enhanced whole pt/ally make it even stronger guess I was wrong, and should only be concerned with our dmg not benefit of group at event.

Gear:
Your recommendations in gear are inconsistent and fail to take on the "shit is situational" attitude you badly convey in the post.

You say how great Dusk hands +1 are and how Blitz ring is the superior ring choice after Mars. After that you go on about how OMGAWESOME Cuch mantle is.

I agree dusk +1/blitz ring meh you relic really no other viable to push acc high enough to justify, I mean why not just rate turban as best head piece over ace's with that logic, and Cuch still mathematically better than forager unless you're really close to acc cap though[within 2.5% ish I'd say]
Edit: for meriting that is can get enough acc on weaker stuff probably.

I'm thoroughly unimpressed with this.

Someone who posts a guide, expecting it to be a sticky should be prepared for some objective criticism.

Be flexible with your guide, and willing to change it. I'd try not to snap at the people with information either.

This has...turned into quite the circus...rather quickly...

No, I don't do any of that as DRG. I have other jobs that can do any role DRG would have in those fights better.

And it's not hard to push to acc cap on merit mobs besides mamool THF, in both TP and WS gear. So I don't quite see how anyone can use "best" when referring to Cuch mantle, when the vast majority of mobs you will be fighting as DRG will either be below the evasion of a Colibri or a feinted HNM that you are zerging.

[Cosmos]

At the end of the day it is by far the best guide on these forums, and I mean fucking 1000 fold. Tainted and Pathwriter are gonna try and fail to troll it regardless, enjoy.

ic I suppose if u don't drg there no reason to then. And personally my current gear I need cuch mantle to come close to acc cap, though if I had ace and aurum body I might could manage w.o it, but I don't have those atm since ZNM pain to get ppl for and don't do HNMs more.

[Wiseman]

Best guide on the Forums? Have you even looked at the guides on the SAM forums? They may be a little out-dated but still far better than yours, IMO.

[Jormungand]

Someone seems to be full on themselves.

I'd watch myself before making an idiotic assumption such as that, your 'guide' isn't as great as you may think. Certainly not enough for you to make claims like that, at the very least.

[synthetic]

i'm pretty sure he was referring to my guide being the best, he's right.

[Cosmos]

I mean as far as stickys go in the DRG forums, I'm gonna edit it a lot and spoiler all the math later so it's better.

Ta-da!

[Tainted]

Request for a mod to delete this garbage. It's already been shot down.

or move it to flamewars.

[Cosmos]

I'm sure there would be more requests for a mod to warn/ban you for lame trolling again, keep being a sandy vagina cus you're a fucking noob without a clue.
