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

i rarely use entropy btw, usually save it for souleater etc

Zeid is the bad *** drk that teaches you dark knight. He uses a great sword. That is all.
Fk scythe.

The original user or whatever of ragnarok actually uses a sword/shield in campaign battles, hope you got requiescat merits.

Ah, fair enough. Keeping that in mind.

lulz, thankfully i'm a BLU and RDM on the side!

Hmm, alright, the only problem I'm having with the spreadsheet right now is the Mythic AM3 effect. Whenever I set it to 1, it just goes "#NAME?" all over the place. What's the fix for this?

if this set put on almost 4 hit territory and you dont have pak+1 what about rep stone for Anger Bomblet?
bad/good/thoughts?

Sorry kinda new using forums forgot to post the link for sets http://www.ffxiah.com/item-sets/293557

Just upgraded my Ragnarok to lvl19 and was wondering what a new gear sets would look like with the new gear avail.

I'd go with the Otomi helm instead of the Quiahuiz Helm, since Quiahuiz acts exactly like the Ravager's+2 Set Augment. Keep the Stone.

No worries, I'll get some up as soon as possible!

Awesome thx, want to play with my new toy

Requiescat on DRK is actually really cool, great way to add versatility to the job. Been loving it ever since a JP asked if I had it on a Delve run.

The original Ragnarok user was a demon from hell. It really doesn't get any more metal than that.

Ragnarok and Apocalypse Sets Updated! Any modifications, corrections, and/or additional sets are welcome.

Had a couple questions on the sets you posted

On the Rag lvl 119 TP set, what is a good alternate to Pak +1?
On the WS set, would cizin body/hands with DA2 outperform miki pieces, and does the mekira +1 head still outperform yaoyotl helm?

Thanks

Bladeborn and steelfalsh instead of brutal and moonshade for Cata. Otherwise thank you for posting those sets.

You have 44 store tp on your 6-hit drk/war Rag set. Wouldn't you need 52 /war and 37 for /sam?

NQ Pak works fine, Armadaberk if you need the need the extra STP.

WS set: Debatable. I'd get the Cizin Legs with DA+2 Augment, first. Perhaps if your accuracy is capped, you could use the Cizin Mail. If you've got Laeradr for PDT instead of Cizin, You could settle Cizin DA+2 & ATT+ Augments. Then again, Resolution is a glutton for attack because of the -15% penalty, so if you're starving for attack, I would prefer Mikinaak.


Oh yeah, good point. Fixing that. I also realized Cizin Legs have the best INT rating on them, so I fixed that for Entropy.

For a true 6-hit /WAR, that's correct. I was accounting for the amount of WS hits returned as well as high DPS rating, so I could have made a slip-up there.

So the set that's up right now would require Armadaberk, Rose Strap and Asperity Necklace as replacements for TP, and then swap in Rajas and STR Path Mikinaak Feet for Resolution (17 WS TP according to calc).

/SAM I'll put a rough build in a while.

If there is a legit reason to not use Quiahuiz Helm (storetp?), this isn't it.

100% double attack damage x% of the time isn't the same thing as 5% double attack damage 100% of the time.

Oh ***, you're saying the double attack damage +x% is 100% proc on the first Double Attack? Okay, I missed that detail somewhere. x_x

Sounds like it would be decent for Liberator, then.

If it counts Oa2 on mythics as a double attack. Most other similar things point to that being a no

How is Otomi Helm looking for TP set on rag? 3 DA looks nice on it. Also great guide thanks for putting it together.

No, I'm just saying it's not the same as WAR AF3+2. WAR AF3+2 is double damage (100% DA damage boost) on double attacks X% of the time, where X is based on the number of pieces you have equipped. This item is 5% double attack damage (5% DA damage boost) on all (100%) of your double attacks. So its strength is proportional to your double attack rate, ie, if you had 100% double attack, the special effect of this item by itself would yield a 5% boost to your melee damage.

It's in the Multi-Hit haste cap build. Doesn't help that the icon looks exactly like Yaoyotl. :P


Gotcha. I knew the WAR AF3 +2 augment was a low percentage to begin with. So I (guiltily) assumed Quiahuiz worked the same way, since, like I said, I couldn't find the details on BG how often it procs on the first hit of a double attack.


Yeah, that's what I meant by 100% proc- the 5% damage bonus procing on 100% of the user's double attacks. I guess I worded that a bit funny, lol.

Either way, the helm should open some more options this time around.

What are new Apoc build looking like? Haste, Cata, AM?

They're all updated and listed underneath the Senbaak TP Builds. :)

For Quiahuiz Helm, does the +5% dmg apply to both hits of double attack or just the second? (I seem to recall some other items with boosts to DA only working on the second hit, tho I could be mistaken)

What would do better for a Rag 119 TP body piece, i currently do not have a Pak +1, i do have Cizin 2% DA, Armada 3DA/6STP, and Valkryie with 3 TA/9ACC. Which should i use until i can get my hands on a Pak +1?

I'd use armada since the stp severely effects rag's shitty delay to keep your x-build. Nothing sucks quite as much as 98/99 builds imo

Anyone know the latent on Aiwon Gauntlets?

Bloodrain Strap is practically Rose +1, holy ***. Ignom Head and Body +1 look real good, head for Dark Magic and Body for Reso with capped ACC. I wanted to like the legs if it weren't for the lack of ACC and DA+ like Cizin legs have.

Gonna look through other promising items soon, those are some of the most noticeable

By the way, sorry everyone for not answering your PM's sooner! It'll be a really busy month for me IRL and I'm also building my Ragnarok.

First one is about Liberator 119- their spreadsheet says that it's beating Ragnarok 119, but I'm making the comparison in spreadsheets, but it still seems like Ragnarok is measuring higher in DPS vs Tojil with full buffs. If anyone can elucidate me as to what I might be doing wrong or if I'm putting in the best situation or not, that would help a great deal.

Second: Ragnarok Multihit *could* work with /Sam, but the set comes up a bit short in tp/hit to make it be able to 6-hit as well. The overall idea is to allow the ODT damage effect for DoT output during TP phase with full buffs and Capped haste. You might have to sacrifice a few pieces for the set to be able to x-hit it.


Definitely agree on this. I know that I emphasize Pak NQ/HQ, Armadaberk still has great capability with XHit Builds as a means to get by.
