Hello again everyone! I decided to remake my original DPS guide to cut out a lot of the dead time where I was pausing or setting stuff up, to provide a more tolerable and structured guide. I've also updated the time stamps to break down each individual topic so people can home in on exactly what they want to know without having to scroll through the entire video. Essentially I wanted to create a guide from the very basics of DPS from the beginning of the game all the way up to the end game to help people see how to reach those max damage hits and complete the hardest content in the game. Whether you are wanting to know exactly how buffs/breaking the enemy influences damage, how "typeless attacks" scale damage, interesting team synergies, or examples of them being used against "that" boss, you'll find something useful in this video about it! Hopefully you found this helpful! Enjoy.
