This was assuming capped attack, ussually playing with brd with 3-4 song or cor, if you need attack, /war set are def winning if you need to use berserk att.

Those are 6hit, using rajas/brutal on ws, I wasn't able to come up with a better set with rose strap, maybe there is one but wasn't able to figure it.

I do go /war to legion, but for everything else, I don't feel the need to go anything but /sam but having chaos roll/1-2min def favor it.

Is any of the Salvage II gear good for DRK with Ragnarok?

No HQ Abj gear availible, also no Limbus II equip, because this ("7-hit Ragnarok /WAR") is the only set on startpage where i saw Ares+1 legs used together with HQ Feet. (and as only listed downgrade Enif :x)

Trying to figure out if me(Ukon 99) or my bf (Rag 99) gets papers for ares sets 1st when we start doing Salvage II.

In my opinion, they are more usefull (slighty) on war(ukon) than drk(rag), It's pretty much the best tp/ws legs for ukon war while being best tp ws legs for rag drk, not always the best ws legs.

Ker's Flanchard puts Apoc 4-hit on the table. It's really silly looking though and involves Carbonara and Aurum Cuirass... Or maybe that's what makes it awesome idunno.

That's why bandwagnarok is boring.

Well except mine swings Entropy after popping AM3. 88/38, and +57 if you want your Cata to roll into it too.

Kinda, but also entirely possible. That's just an annotation for Apoc anyway, specifically that there's finally something to trade haste for a tiny bit more STP to deal with that stupid 513 delay. 528s have been on the bleeding edge of 4-hitting for a while now.

Seems all sets are for /sam.
If you plan on adding others here is a 6hit apoc am for /war (or anything else for that matter), focusing on using multi attack gear.
Yah I was thinking about using this when I close +1 legs.
20/45 pages atm. this is a pretty kick *** set for /WAR when magic/ja haste not caped

Where does Wanion Belt stand on Catastrophe compared to Ele Belt?

I would stick with Ele belt since fTP+ is so important to WS. Even then, the AGI-5 would be problematic for Catastrophe's mods (if we want to even worry about unimportant mods).

Yeah, just use Soil belt for Catastrophe.
It works for Cata, Entropy and Resolution, so it's the gorget\belt of choice, specially for those with Apoc and a GS due to inventory-saving.

High-end refresh set is technically missing Valkyrie's Helm, which can be augmented with 2/tic refresh.


Have you seen this first hand? Starting to doubt it exists maybe i just been unlucky.

Refresh+2 is not possible for Valkyrie's helm. HQ1 and HQ2 give MP+ and then HQ3 gives Refresh+1.

I have a question regarding ele belts/gorgets. Dose it make a difference if i use shadow belt/gorget? or would it be better to use soil/shadow in any combo?

Soil is less inventory if you use more than one of Cata/Resolution/Entropy. No damage change, but inventory is precious.

Disregard, missed context entirely and realized that he was asking if it would be better to use a mix over using the same type.

High End Entropy set should use Drachenhorn instead of Twilight Helm and an augmented diamond ring instead of the -3STR on Icesoul

Both are super marginal. Didn't we just have the Twilight vs Drachenhorn discussion anyway?

Diamond Ring I'll give you that, but as said before, Drachenhorn will only beat Twilight with SV Minuets, on an EXTREMELY marginal level of 1-10 attack. You're better off using Twilight and saving 1 inventory space (unless you've got other jobs in mind to use Drach for).

People need a guide to just spam resolution?



All kidding aside, I figured if ANYBODY would have done this, it would have been Urteil, but I guess the PvP wars have him busy/feeling crestfallen. Good job lol.

This guide is rather impressive. There are some minor things and if the OP is interested he can inquire me via PM. Otherwise, who cares, not him, me, or anyone.

Good job.



Busy, yes. Crestfallen, never. I'm not sure how I'd feel crestfallen about losing to snip-snippity clip-clippity crabs anyway.

Did I say they are extremely better?
Just saying if u wanna post the perfect set (talking a bout a base set w/o occasional differences like buffs acc and att level) DH and the Diamond ring are better, even if dat is a 0.1 increase.

Im not even close to say u didnt do a good job or anything like dat XD

Anyone could use Drachenhorn if they ARE the type of person that cares about marginal upgrades I suppose, though I'm talking in terms of general usage.

Thanks again the compliments on the guide guys, I really appreciate it. I put a lot of thought and research into it. =)
