(Don't) Fear The Reaper: A Dark Knight Guide

Holy ***, I don't know why I didn't think of that before. I'll admit, I've been a bit sloppy lately.

5-Hit Senbaak updated.

any advice for leberator Regular TP set and AM3? main guide just has AM3 set

Ahh, I'll have to get those builds updated. I'll admit I have no in-game experience with Liberator, but I'll come up with the best possible sets the best I can.

Edit: I came up with something like this-

ItemSet 315298

Consensus? Variations?

ItemSet 293557
Looking at rolling with this. Don't have the helm yet and haven't read anything about the DMG boost. If it sucks I'll probably use the double attack +3 helm.

I like that set. Nearly borders into 4-hit territory (gets you 20 TP/hit with Pak+1), with an emphasis on double attack.

I'll put it up!

Pruned up a few things, such as weapon lists and HQ MDT set.

edit: updated Apoc AM Magic/JA Haste Accuracy set.

Do we know how much damage the helm increases it by? Is it a 100% proc rate or random like WAR's Emp?

Double Attack damage +5%.

At 5% of even a full da build gonna be like a 2 - 3% increase in white damage. I'd prob go with the new da 3 helm. It looks extremely powerful for war though with 2 sp's up.

Yeah, that was my plan B. Might as well go with the Otomi helm in this instance.

Yeah seems it totally depends on x hit trade offs and what you need. I mean if you have to choose slots the new 5 haste 4 da belt for goading is slightly better and leave the tojil head on to gain 1 more da and more acc. Depends on the weapon I guess. If you can squeeze head and belt into the build even better.

Coming back to this- I've actually noticed this as well.

I'll play around with it when last resort's down at the very least.

ive been away most of the last month, is scythe a viable weapon for drk again?

no

Nope because SE is stupid and makes your A+ weapon the worse option.

I wish I could say yes, even in light of Liberator being buffed. :x

huh? i think your greatly underestimating insurgency w/ 119 lib, maybe i just play with ***players, but i don't have much trouble at all keeping up with 119 conq.

he's deliberately slacking to make you feel good about yourself <3

You guys should chat about how awesome lacryma sickle so I can skillup on it.

fiv is defo slacking!

What are your parses and gear sets like? Just curious. I want to run this up in a spreadsheet real quick.

Ken says Hi on levi btw :B

Pretty easy to outparse the dead. As is the natural state of Fiv.

EDIT: question answered.

I posted some quick item sets on my page (totally forget how to post the sets) I haven't got around to playing with the spreadsheet since I have been back, esp. with all the new ilvl gear, which ill get around to sometime. I'll also try to get some parses tomorrow with 119 rag/lib/conq. and post them up later.

Sweet, thanks!

Yeah ... no.

No doubt that Liberator is the best Scyth build but it's not gonna compete with Rag Reso spam or even Senbaak reso spam. Reso is just that much stronger then Entropy even after the recent stat splat. GS has always beat Scyth in melee DPS but it severely lacked a powerful WS. Anyhow the difference between GS and Scyth skill is 7 points so in no way was Scyth DRK's main weapon. People just thought that because GS remained so underpowered for so long that everyone just kinda forgot it existed.

oh yeah man your completely right, this is exactly what i was trying to say lib > all weapons.....not. when did this become a discussion about "x" vs. resolution? I'm just trying to show that there are other option out there. should make a lib and ilvl it then come back and lemme know what u think about it, K.

Well you're obviously not going to use Entropy without using Insurgency for AM3 first. Insurgency gets a heavy boost with heavy attack, and Liberator is stupidly easy to 5hit.

While I might have said a few posts back that I wished scythe would be better, Kese comes in and makes this claim. So that makes me think, "wait a minute, I think he's onto something here," once I remembered the full power of a Mythic. Yeah, Resolution produces huge ws numbers and steady DPS, but you can also nearly hit the attack and accuracy caps with Lib AM3 and keep consistent damage going. Entropy can surprisingly spike a bit high too, as I saw when using my Apoc at void watch. So I trust Kese on this claim, because there's a lot more to using a weapon than just 7+ skill.

By the way, I couldn't do spreadsheets last night thanks to a damn storm last night, but I'll have to run the numbers when I get home tonight. :P
