Hi, I was curious about some tiered builds... What I have going as of right now:
Base TP:
ItemSet 278188
(Xaddi Pieces and Mikinaak Greaves are Path A Rank 15)
Mid Acc: Letalis Mantle
High Acc: Iqabi Necklace, Buremte Gloves, Patricius Ring, Dynamic Belt +1, Whirlpool Greaves.
Mid Acc Resolution:
ItemSet 272927
Low Acc: Boor Bracelets and Otomi helm, but thinking Atheling might be a nice fit as well.
High Acc: Mikinaak Cuisses (Path A Rank 15), Letalis Mantle, and Whirlpool Greaves.
Is there anything obvious that I'm missing? I don't generally play this job a lot, but I'd kind of like to have a better working theory on my gear sets should the need arise.
Thanks I'm just gonna use that ^ stuff then.

Is there a reason why you are using lentus over bloodrain?

Unless I am missing something. Changing the delay from 431 to 452 is the exact same thing as adding the 6 stp from bloodrain.
Lentus causing slower melee and lacking the 6 acc.

According to my figuring this build with Lentus is 17.3% per swing, and Bloodrain is 17.1% (/SAM), which are both 6-hit builds- I was just thinking the added .2% would make an additional 1% TP over the 5-hit span after your initial WS, and that the 452 delay on the WS build itself would return a smidgeon more TP allowing you to miss a bit with Resolution while still keeping your 6-hit intact. Generally speaking, unless I’ve whiffed the first swing of Resolution I don’t recall ever seeing a TP return lower than 14%, so this build would still allow me to keep a 6-hit even with some misses.
This is all speculation, mind you, as I almost never play this job- that's a big part of the reason I posted my sets in the first place.

True, I compared 452 alone to 431 +6stp. Where I should have compared 452 +35stp to 431 +41 stp (both /sam).
This then raises the question: Is it worth the 5% increase in delay for 1 less tp required on your ws set.
(17.1 x 5 = 85.5 and 17.3 x 5 = 86.5)
With your WS set with lentus (Delay 452 +1 stp 13.4tp + additional hits) you need 2/5 reso to hit. 14.4~ return
If you switch to Bloodrain (431 +7 stp) you get same return on first hit 13.4 tp but need 2 additional hits (3/5 on Reso). 15.4~ return.
If you are missing that much on your ws, you should change the set for more acc anyways so it doesn't seem worth the increased delay with lentus.

it's mentioned due to spreadsheet sets. No one is forcing you to use it :o

Yes, bloodrain actually is just on par in terms of tp gain per hit, for some reason the math works out pretty close on Ragnarok. So you are the same hit build but you lose 5% delay so you lose both white damage and WS frequency.
This is under the assumption that you use 3/5 Resol build. As mentioned above, if you have trouble making 3/5 then you probably should use torcleaver or need better support.

Wouldn't this be better?
ItemSet 323706
5 hits + 3/5 reso landing
Then for acc you could use something like this
ItemSet 323708
Widbuffet for capped haste in low acc set and Anguinus belt for acc set. Any higher accuracy then that and you'd have to drop to 7-hit though and if you were using Torcleaver you would either have to use alot of store TP for WS or have to land another hit for 100 tp

Anyone can post or tell me where I can find the best DRK "TP/FULL-ACC/WS gear sets" for Liberator/Ragnarok/Apocalypse. Would REALLY appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

I was wondering if anyone had information on meaning of "Last Resort +1" on the Fallen's sollerets +1? Does it add more attack when Last Resort is up or did they further reduce the amount of defense lost when Last Resort is up? Its 10% on Abyss Sollerets.

Ok so I started using this set for torcleaver so I can keep 6-hit build with the WS, anyone have any ideas to improve it?
ItemSet 324060
also I have been thinking about hybrid sets with a decent amount of acc and came up with this
ItemSet 324059
Is there any improvments that could be made?

Just noting that you can't use this ammo on DRK.

It's been a while, and I need to update drk, help me out with the current scythe sets?
I'm still using ares+1 pieces and I'm looking at the fallen/ignominy and not really seeing anything that stands out as oh get me.
Only updating it to do wopket, so like full acc/hybrid, don't need fodder stuff. Would it pretty much consist of Xaddi and cizin+1 w/ yao helm? (yes I have bandwagnarok, I really don't like greatswords, and demeritted reso)
44 stp to 5hit Apoc? (/sam + 29)

Which is the better great sword to use between AA and Calimah, or is there a better 1 than that, other than relic?

As my Liberator is closer and closer to completion I started working on some sets. I was wondering if anyone had an updated absorb/darkmagic set I could take a look at. Thanks in advanced!

Looking for an updated Torcleaver set. Would be nice to know what to aim for. Thanks for any help.

I'm pretty much a filthy casual when it comes to XI since I pretty much only play when I have time. Just resubbed the other day and was wondering what gear should I work towards to improve my drk. Is there any gear that doesn't take much time to obtain that would be an upgrade?
basically what I use :/
ItemSet 325171
the GS has OAT and magic acc augment on it.
and I have the xbalanque? scythe.
what would be decent WS sets for torcleaver/resolution?

This is my current set up for Torcleaver (though I tend to alternate between Ragnarok and Crobaci +2 for different reasons, based on acc content, since my Crobaci has WS Damage+5%, while still aiming for 10%:
ItemSet 325172
MY Quiahuiz Helm has a VIT+8 mod for Torc because my Otomi has STR+8 for Resolution.
By volkom 2014-06-23 09:45:20
are the gorget/belts not worth to be using on torcleaver anymore?

are the gorget/belts not worth to be using on torcleaver anymore? I never used them on Torc, since I had better results with STR/VIT/ATT+ combinations.
The Elemental Belts were better for Resolution by far.
Edit: Torcleaver had a fairly high fTP rate of 4.75/5.75/6.5 at 1000-3000tp respectively, being a single hit WS.

For Fallen's burgeonet+1, the assumption is you have at least 1 merit into dark seal. If not, black sallet will give the same duration+ effect.

I'm assuming throw MACC/Dark Magic Skill for the rest of the slots?

By Fafnir 2014-06-28 20:29:35
To clarify, skill/macc only helps with resists, and if you're using seal you aren't worried about this. Assumption is dark seal/nethervoid on cast. If no duration + gear, average stat gained goes down, as unresisted duration is only 90s.
