Hello, I've just recently started playing Dark night, and with the equipment I've acquired to date i believe my Dark night is passable. However i am running into a problem in Voidwatch I feel that i should be doing more damage then what i am doing. I'm currently using Atmacite's of Assailment(20str, 20 mab, 15 slow, 15 addle) Valiant and Provenance. I believe that the slow is limiting my damage Due to being uncompensated for With My Standard tp set:

ItemSet 302352

I would like to switch to Latitude and Start wearing this set in vw:

ItemSet 302353

I'm using the bombcore because of how fast my weapon is i'm doomed to 7 hit.

Also for good measure my Resolution set just incase something in there makes the differance:

ItemSet 302354

Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on the atmacite change or anything else noteworthy that i missed, besides i know i should get an Abody it's just not dropping the abj.

Edit: Fail links are fail

"I believe that the slow is limiting my damage"

I'm still trying to decide if I want to poke fun or not...


Let's just go with: Duh?

Yes but the question is weither or not 10% slow is anywhere equal to losing 20 STR, But A+ for First troll.

15% slow for 20 STR?

This shouldn't be a question, and I'm the troll?

I can see where it'd work if you had full magical haste in every run (puts you at 79%), but I'm not sure how you don't see that's a problem otherwise.

Better off using Valiant, Latitude, and Dark Designs.

10% slow for 20str, with the 5 from valiant, I could swing the other way and gain haste In exchange for mostly STP. But yes, a comment that only points out an Ill be it stupid remark, with out answering the question does a troll make.

it's a problem With the website, If you could provide a link to the node it would solve it for most people, It's just not loading the nodes properly, most of the other guides are having the same problem from time to time.

Alright, that was easy. Got the Link to the Node Format up. I'll keep the guide in its original format until it sounds like I can go ahead and pour it all onto the OP (which might be the case already, just want to be sure)

bbl, back to work!

After aquiring the phorcys dirs tonight I adjusted my TP set to include them but I have a question regarding feet now.
(and any other quick, common free fixes aka not "get a Hag stone")

So what it has become:
ItemSet 302725

and my change based on my inventory right now since i was above haste cap:

ItemSet 302726

Any feedback would be appreciated

Ok then on that basis this set is more appropriate. I just got my Foret T3 win there so im updating.

ItemSet 302737

Also thanks for giving some input on the topic i asked about, feet and body pieces till i get my enif, really helped me clarify the situation >_>

If you're struggling to make 3m with the price of airlixirs atm idk what to say. Also, Pak Corselet + Mikinaak feet + Hagneia stone should win. Too lazy to throw into a DPS sheet atm but this is the best set I could make assuming you don't have access to "hard" gear.

P.S.: Hagneia Stone 3m, Pak Corselet 1m~2m = 5m. Airlixirs = 60k / 500 plasm. Assuming 6k low plasm / run, you're looking at 7 runs. That's w/o the extra airlixirs that you may get.


This set is what you should aim for assuming no ares+1 etc.
ItemSet 300784

Well on asura airlixir+1 can be found for 250k which makes an decent ceiz or ok morimar worth 750k however im trying to upgrade my legs for WS in so im using lixirs. Pak was going to be a placeholder till enif and hag i know i need.

I appreciate the input though . Thank you

about armada hauberk augments, would it be better acc+6 da+3 or stp+6 da+3?(considering stp lost on body gained elsewhere) no valkirye stil but shadow brstplate acc+8 ta+2. the random pool acc on hauberk is very rare but i might miss that stp?

youre 2 stp short for tp if youre wsing in 6stp, nothing wrong with keeping the current augment for armaberk but make sure youre not losing your 6 hit

i didnt calc that set out but my own build has 26 stp for tp vs your 24 stp and i only have brutal and k feet for stp in ws, you may be able to ws in rajas to make up the difference as well but youd need to calc it out to be sure

if youre shooting for acc id consider letalis mantle first and formost, and yes dynamic belt would work, you could also put on fire bomblet, hag stone would just make it so you only needed to land 3/5 hits from reso instead of 4/5 without it

edit:
threw together the stp calc quick and on the 456 delay, if you ws in 6 stp, you need 25 stp in tp if you land atleast 4/5 reso and 27 stp in tp if you land atleast 3/5 reso

Karieyh Moufles are a solid choice too if you need the acc, given potential reticence to upgrade Mikinaak Gauntlets that far.
k gloves = 14dex 10acc haste 4

af3+2 = 10acc 10atk 5gsword skill 5 haste

stick with the af3+2, save an inventory slot

Still good to have around if you are going for a Delve boss win where ACC is the biggest concern.

Karieyh hands have double the ACC over Bale.

about 6 more acc when using gs, but for regular mobs or if you pop acc food, bale +2

scythe is a different story, its a 10.5 acc gain
