Just wanted to be sure I'm using the right stuff since I just finished Apoc and I'm still not 100% sure what to compare everything to. I think I posted before, but the sets used Huginn/Phos+1, and I've yet to get either of them. I should have access to pretty much everything else, though.
uncapped delay, no AM, /WAR
ItemSet 291446
uncapped delay, no AM, /SAM
ItemSet 291445
uncapped delay, AM, /WAR
ItemSet 291442
uncapped delay, AM, /SAM
ItemSet 291441
capped delay, /WAR (can't really think of any swaps with AM up, so not going to bother listing the same set twice :s)
ItemSet 294541
capped delay, /SAM
ItemSet 294552
capped delay, AM, /SAM
ItemSet 294540
catastrophe
ItemSet 294545
I'm considering "capped delay" to be with Haste + 1 March + Embrava + LR or Haste + 2x March + LR.
Any input is greatly appreciated. (*'-')b

With Haste spell, Marches need to be +5, or +3 with Marcato on Victory March to cap magic haste. Seems risky to assume all BRDs have either a 99 horn or a Carnwenhan to fulltime Marcato.
I should disclaim that I didn't actually check your sets to see if there are shortfalls, just pointing out what I know.

Kariyeh brayette, better for Torcleaver than Ogiers?
While 3% WSD is nice, 16 str\vit is a pretty massive amount.

oh my *** O_O MUST ADD TO GUIDE!!!
That looks totally awesome for additional Store TP and/or Multiattack gear setups.

Added Karieyh Feet to some WS setups

Btw, thx for the advices :D Resolution is a Great Sword WS unlocked/upgraded with merits, and it's currently the top weapon skill for DRK in the game, dealing 5 hits. Torcleaver is second-best if you have a Caladbolg to use it with and like taking advantage of AM3.
Scythe gets Entropy, which is widely better than Guillotine as 4-hit WS, but the damage spikes comparable to Reso often come occasionally (and complements Catastrophe very well I must say!).
Make no mistake, if you like a mix of damage and utility, Scythe is the best way to go. Great Sword serves as your best raw-damage option. I personally have 8/8 skill merits in both :)

Any input is greatly appreciated. (*'-')b I tend to *** the xhit when /war capped delay + AM, in situations when u get lot of buffs such as legion or zergs, and looks like it pulls ahead, can any1 do maths for dat?
Im just a bit exagerated and I have like lot of variations in my sets, but Im lazy to post most of em... I fit Valk body in some sets too...
ItemSet 290312
This is a nice /WAR AM up 6hit /WAR, it pulls ahead of pretty much everything on fodder or when u need accuracy sets and u dont have caped haste/delay, for everything in the middle (Qilin, Uptala etc) there are better sets.
I use ur same AM /SAM set on fodder, sept for head/grip, I use Bale/Rose since I didnt get a Dup yet.

Posting 2 diff Reso sets I use
Low Acc
ItemSet 295196
High Acc
ItemSet 268481
In the High Acc set u sacrifice Some Attack and STR (and 2 DA from mitts), but u gain a lot of acc, which is very nice on High ***, need to do maths tho, but looks to work pretty well for what I tried.

Avant gauntlets +1 win if you need the extra acc or attack is capped. Also karieyh sollerets win even if you dont need the acc i would assume. Could also swap a pyro for candent ring if needed.

Would Pak corselet (DEF:68 STR+16 Accuracy+18 Attack+18 "Store TP"+3 "Double Attack"+3%) Pak corselet +1 (DEF:69 STR+17 Accuracy+19 Attack+19 "Store TP"+4 "Double Attack"+4%)or Karieyh haubert (DEF:79 STR+18 DEX+18 Attack+25 "Double Attack"+2%) beat Phorcys body for resolution?
By duos 2013-04-06 15:00:14
Noticed that in the Entropy set the weapon is Wroth Scythe for some reason.

Why wouldn't you use Karieyh brayettes over bale +2 for Reso, or am I missing something?

Any thoughts on Karieyh haubert and Pak corselet vs our usual options for Resolution?

Pak+1 seems like an excellent body piece for setups requiring a minimum of STP+4 on your body piece (and holy *** DA+4%). Otherwise, for builds requiring STP+6, Hauberk will still reign king.

Karieyh seems better yeah, but if you encounter mobs that require more accuracy bale +2 will win. Resolution is a multihit ws and like all multihit ws it needs accuracy in some circumstances.

Would OAT GS drk with no Phorcys gear be an acceptable DD in NN event ? anyone care to share their experience?
Noticed that in the Entropy set the weapon is Wroth Scythe for some reason. were you looking at the NQ Armor Sets or the HQ Armor Sets section?
It was "No Phorcys Gear, "Accessible" Setups" noticed that the tp set uses apoc while Wroth Scythe is used for Entropy set. Not a big deal just wanted to point that out.

Would OAT GS drk with no Phorcys gear be an acceptable DD in NN event ? anyone care to share their experience? Yes. We (Hyabusa and I) ran two of them actually. I dare say your rate of TP gain with OAT to WS something dead far better matches the mobs in the event that you're more effective with it than having Rag.
You kill the boss a tiny bit slower, but being half a step faster along the way means way more.
Nebulous theory about a 1k WS every 30 seconds beating a 10k WS every minute if mobs only have 1k HP aside, how the hell would anyone have Phorcys gear in the first place if everyone required you to have it to do the event to get it?

Funny isn't it heh, well i know atleast 2 people mainly dd jobs who geared sch to get into the event. That got me concerned. cheers for the input everyone will hopefully try it out soon.

I have a reuqest for this thread, it might be a bit much to ask, I know these are ALOT of work.
This guide in particular seems a bit messy in the gear-set-department.
Would'nt it be better to separate by weapons, and make it a bit easier to understand which sets are for \war and \sam etc?

I could try Kvazz, but I doubt I would have any room to put any more gearsets in (due to character limits) :(

He wasn't even asking for more gearsets, he was asking for some context for the sets that are there. Not that the sets are good.
