the gratuitous rate my gear/what's better thread!Follow

pizza +1 > sushi, most definitely.

good basic start. perdu will be better than moliones's until your gear/merits are HQ'd. make scythe merits and diabolic eye 5/5 a priority.

on your WS gear, lacking a bit in the accuracy department even with pizza/sushi. look towards ohat or the MKD ws hat instead of wyvern.

oh, and EELS!

Incorrect. Perdu's most powerful feature is the 501 delay. Compared to a 528 Scythe, this is a 5.1% increase in DoT/WS frequency. Compared to a 513, this is a 2.34% increase in DoT/WS frequency.

Attack+14 is typically around a 3~4% increase in DoT, larger if the mob is higher level than you.

The 5D difference between Death+1 and Perdu is roughly a 5% increase in DoT during the TP phase, and roughly 3.3%~ increase in damage during WS.

Therefore, Death+1 barely triumphs over Perdu's delay/attack on its own, even before considering accuracy. Against high level targets, it wouldn't even best it then.

1 dex = .75 acc for 2 handed weapons. So 3 dex = 2.25 Acc, plus the 3 on it already means this ring will give you a total of 5.25 acc, if iirc. I wouldn't see why you couldnt use it over a snippers ring. And no negative effects too is nice. The other stats on it are cool, but dont do a damn thing thing for Drk.

21 stp gets you a 6 hit so long as you don't bolo on guillotine. works well, lasts long time. besides, as drk/sam, you will rarely be going from 0-100 tp through melee alone because of abs tp and meditate.

Use Rose Strap to 6hit Gswrd~ failing that White Tathlum or Attila's/Ecphoria... note you'll need to keep one of those two on during WS though if using the end combination.

Also gorgets for WSs! Good stuff though. I would also use Hauby+1 over HH for Guillotine.

M.Kris isn't really going to do you any good in a party situation, it generally needs a lot of support to work.

Next level you're going to want to switch to scythe (V-scythe) since you will have access to guillo, and I assume you will be equipping the one grip to rule them all!

Bomb core/bomblet are both better then sting when you get high enough . . .

Assault earring should replace one of the spikes, the other ear should go > merman/minut till fowling till brutal . . . assault can be replaced by abyssal at 75 if you don't have a suppa job.

should have replaced spike with royal guard collar or hell even a merman gorget lol . . . but yeah chiv is better than all of them next level.

Dunno where you are on missions, but no excuse to have anything but raja's if you have a melee job imo . . . and the taou ring is also better.

No back armor at level 59 is just tacky when you have a haub + 1 (so is spike neck for that matter) should have looked at jaeger(sp) mantle . . . the attack one.

After those changes That should pretty much be your guillo set as well, just switch into life belt for guillo then back to swift. With that gear as long as you're not over-camping id say you might even be able to eat meat over pizza.

I was a little more harsh on you just because of the haub + 1.

EDIT:
I originally read that assuming the axe was a gaxe....

Off handing m.kris is TOTAL @#%^ING FAIL.

Even a THF shouldn't off hand m.kris in an xp situation, the PATHETIC DoT it has kills it even if it is your A weapon . . . not to mention unless your eating sushi you will wiff with it so much it won't even increase your tp gain, using axes is already kind of iffy, but at least it's B- like gaxe and you only lose 2 handed bonus.

M.Kris is a ZERG WEAPON ONLY and even then you generally need feint from a 75 thf for it to work.

Using 2 axes would be a much better way to go, the significant hit you take to ACC with the kris weakens the TP gain argument to the point where there is no way it can make up for the HUGE hit to DoT . . .

After considering the 2-3 attacks kris still only has a DoT of 5 compared to the 9.18 of the axe in your main hand and that is before considering the lower ACC + ATK. I'm all for taking advantage of rampage pre 60, but M.Kris is a zerg only weapon.

ANYWAY whatever, one more level and you can switch to scythe and never look back, you seem to be on the right track for the most part.







I wasn't trying to personally attack you.



Maybe just a little.

The majority of a dual wielder's damage comes from DoT, not WS frequency - M Kris cripples DoT to increase WS frequency... basically not worth it.

It puts the lotion on it's boobs, or else it gets the hose again.


shhhhhhh

This forum is 90% dead w/o that thread. I was in the middle of posting too.

Oh, and it has always been my opinion that Word is a douchebag. That thread was largely pointless besides a minor lol now and again, so we're in semi-agreement on something.

We've been through the dance-steps. He knows, and he's steppin' on my turf. Worse comes to worse, it's on and my crew the best crew in the tri-state area.

In honor of the olde thread.

Regarding this I'd just like to officially say...

LAST!

Too bad it was such a boring post.

Also; if this keeps up in here lols, what's going to happen when every single thread in the DRK forums gets locked? ;-;

Anyone else looking forward to Assassin's Creed II?

I know right? That was really annoying. I even started writing down the pictographs and stuff to see if there were any hidden cheats or crap like that. Le sigh.

GDI! My PC keeps crashing when I try to transfer ISO/EBOOTS/large files to my PSP vai USB. I'm getting ANGEROUS! The whole point of downloading PSX games is to play them on the go. I don't want to sit in front of my PC to play Chrono Cross.

I just want to assassinate from a hang glider.

No, I was thinking about "borrowing" my friends 360 and renting it though.

BWAHAHAHHAHA! I WISH I COULD RATE YOU UP SO HARD YOU WOULD NEED A CIGARETTE WHEN I WAS DONE WITH YOU! Funniest picture I have seen in months.

Someone's (800 post?) sock is apparently trying lol

we'd just get it locked too, with tits and tentacles.

So your real advice is that the DRK forum needs to whine more?
