I know this is a minor thing, but after all the time my linkshell has been doing Dynamis, we came back from summer break and our first ever volte harness dropped, and I got it! Thanks TLOU!
Time to go over my Liberator AM3 sets with a fine-toothed comb, yet again.
Interesting note, I just tested it's 'Enchantment: TP+1000' effect while wearing my AM3 gear with Harness schlepped on top. When I activated it, I recieved 1790 TP. Store TP clearly affects it!
The reason I wanted this piece was for Haste4 Store TP 10 in a high accuracy body armor, but being able to get over halfway to AM3 with a single button press is kinda convenient, even if it can only be used once every 20 hours. And to confirm, Volte Harness has unlimited uses like a Warp Ring, or more comparitively, a Nexus Cape.

(Don't) Fear the Reaper: A Dark Knight Guide
Can’t think of a DRK that deserves it more than you mims. Grats!!

Apparently I'm not doing too great on the parse during DynaD/Omen, and I was wondering if I'm playing DRK wrong. My gear isn't the best, but I'm slowly building it out based on what I've seen in the High End sets thread.
TP. 1221 acc ItemSet 375172 Catastrophe set ItemSet 375173 Cross Reaper(multihit) edit: I mistakenly listed Cross Reapering using the multihit set. I was actually using the same set Catastrophe uses for Cross Reaper. The multihit set would be used on something like Entropy. Thanks to Mims for pointing that out. ItemSet 375175 Code augments = {

Usually on /SAM. Start fights with LR/Hasso, hit Cata at 1k for the AM(putting me way over Haste cap). From there, it depends on how much damage i'm taking, but i'll usually be spamming Cata at 1k to stay alive, or Cross Reaper at 2k, or try to do Sekkanoki CR + Cata for Darkness. Meditate/LR on cooldown. I don't usually cast Absorbs. I try to MB Drain III, but either things die too fast, or someone else is on the mob, that cancels the skill chain or kills it before I can cast it. When I do get it off(Usually DSNV Weapon Bash > Infernal Scythe), I usually top out around 4-5k HP (3-4 min), but I have seen it hit 6k before. I would like to have a TP set for when I have AM up, but I can't seem to make one without completely gimping my accuracy. I'm using a modified version of the DRK.lua from the high end sets thread. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, so if anyone could give me some pointers, I'd really appreciate it.

I'm on phone right now and phone interface is going to keep me from looking at your post in detail, but the biggest thing that stood out to me at a glance was your cross reaper set. Yes Cross Reaper is technically a 2 hit ws, but all it's damage is stacked up on the first hit. Abandon your existing cross reaper set and replace it with your catastrophe set. You should see an immediate jump in damage.
[+]
I'd love to see suggestions on how to keep other members of your alliance off your fodder mob for a simple self-compression/burst drain3. I've tried explaining it from the WHM's perspective of I'm a lot easier to babysit with capped HP, I've tried the "it makes me a wonderful backup tank as my hate will naturally be high", but them damn dual wielders keep screwing with my ***! ;)

After your puller > sleeper > tank do their thing, start a mob that the group isn't fighting. Tank should still be "the tank" and you get your HP.

It's just like the people who constantly move while fighting making TA impossible. You just use the ones that don't move (geo bard whm etc)
Just have to be faster and/or further. make them all turn off autotarget. You won’t do the best on the parse with Apoc, but you’ll never die using it. If I switch from Calad to Apoc, I drop to 3rd or 4th depending on what other DDs we have. I didn’t realize the gap was that large until one of the LS leaders brought it to my attention. I only swap over when it’s an oshit moment now.
As for the MB Drain III, good luck lol. The only time I can get the MB off is on the wave 1 boss. Is the apoc R15? Apoc gets a pretty massive buff from RP.
Crossbones said: » Is the apoc R15? Apoc gets a pretty massive buff from RP. I have both Calad and Apoc R15 and I get a pretty significant DPS drop.

you gotta start attacking one mob, give your party about 10 seconds to think that's your mob, then swap to another when they least expect it
that way at least you'll only fail because your drain 3 cast will get interrupted by 2 mobs hitting you all the time. not quite as frustrating
[+]
I personally don't think setting up the MB is worth it the vast majority of the time. You can get 6k+ HP even without an MB, takes a lot less wasted time to setup, has far less room for error or bad luck, and there are VERY few situations where 6k HP won't save you but 9999 will.
[+]
Yeah, I just free cast it most of the time in groups. I'm alright with settling for 5k-6k HP. I'm still hitting around 9K HP in dread spikes midcast so it really isn't the biggest loss in the world.
Crossbones said: » Is the apoc R15? Apoc gets a pretty massive buff from RP. The R15 boost is very large but it’s not touching Cala/Lib from a DPS standpoint. Bang for the buck it’s really solid. Wasn't asking him was asking the guy who was asking why his dmg was so low with apoc. I already know apoc won't beat calad/lib unless LR is down or something.

Crossbones said: » Wasn't asking him was asking the guy who was asking why his dmg was so low with apoc. I already know apoc won't beat calad/lib unless LR is down or something. What is this treacherous BS! Apoc or GTFO! levelxplane said: » I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, so if anyone could give me some pointers, I'd really appreciate it. And yeah unless very easily done, just cast Drain3 and skip the MB, should still sit 6k~ hp and your dps will go up greatly by not messing around. The new augments for Loess Barbuta +1:
[1] Enmity +10 [2] Damage taken -10% [3] All Attr. +10 Gives a staggering -20% damage taken in the headslot. Of course, there is no magic evasion here, so it's for PDT and enmity sets only. With Loess, Defending Ring, Hjarrendi Breastplate, and two of either Moonbeam Cape/Moonbeam Ring/Loricate Torque +1/Flume Belt +1, we're capping PDT incredibly easily. We can think about pure defense/VIT in other slots. It might be possible to drop Defending. Hjarrendi Head will still have a place in hybrid sets.

Ya, you just need the +2 for the skillchain properties to take effect.
Necro Bump Detected!
[32 days between previous and next post]I just updated my Max Acc set (all UNM gear is R15'd). I REALLY need to get the Seething +1, but I think people are leaving Acc on the table by ignoring the boost you get from combining AF and Regal gear.
ItemSet 376375 So grounded mantle r15 is +36 acc and 1-7 dex which translates to an additional 1-5 acc for a total of 37-41 acc.
Ambu cape can have 30 acc, 20 dex (15 more acc from that) making 45 acc, and you get to stack some DA or STP on top of that. Ambu cape still wins hands down.

Ambu cape can have 30 acc, 20 dex (15 more acc from that) making 45 acc, and you get to stack some DA or STP on top of that. Ambu cape still wins hands down. Grounded+1 at r15 is actually Acc+36 and dex+11-17 but while it will be a slight acc gain it isnt worth losing out on the DA or STP from the ambu cape. following the "anything you need ultra-high acc for can also likely wreck you" philosophy, probably swap out Mache Earring +1 for Odnowa Earring +1 R15 since it gives a chunk of acc with a lilbit of survivability in case of spike damage
maybe for the same reason favor Chirich +1 over UNM ring, idk, how much you value the regen/SB over the course of a fight is entirely your call... probably not much with Apoc but even so it's nice to have the STP in exchange for a bit of acc same comments about the ambu cape, you can sacrifice just a bit of acc to get a ton of other relevant value feet - why not flamma+2? overall i am not going to ***on the set because the use case for balls to the wall acc comes up from time to time, but the amount of both offense and defense you sacrifice by not using odin helm/body when you're able to cap haste so easily thanks to hands/apoc, makes the overall set kind of a head scratcher if we're talking Kirin/WOC/HELMs/DynaWave3 |
