Take your word for it Excel your the ***boss at DRK;D Last Resort Recast/Last Resort Effect/Desperate Blows:5/5
Diabolic Eye:4 Dark Seal:1 Then stuff like 8HP/8Scythe/5Str/4Crit depending on your current jobs/merit's.

I'm in Abyssea now about 78 should i full time Perle?
EDIT: Another thing should i level sword skill as well? Cerberus.Oseryu said: Also, What should I wear. I'm in Abyssea now about 78 should i full time Perle? EDIT: Another thing should i level sword skill as well? Max out haste then just add accuracy/str. Make sure u have a 6 hit build when /sam. I doubt perle is optimal but idk what you have access to.

Can you give me a setup pls? Full perle is fine for TPing if you don't have access to better. I don't know DRK too well, just throwing that out there~

Been playing RDM too long to memorize hit builds. >< LAst resort effect
Last reseort recast Diabolic eye capped (ohai now i can use what wars get at 45) Dark seal 1/5 (really only 1 is needed to land good drain 2's on zergs) Desperate blows 3/5 (only need 3 to cap JA haste with hasso, anything more /sam with hasso is unaffected) As for gear, here's what i use. Nothing crazy. This late in the game its all pretty obtainable or replaceable Bahamut.Aiyana said: Phoenix.Excelior said: Cerberus.Oseryu said: Phoenix.Excelior said: Cerberus.Oseryu said: Also, What should I wear.

Been playing RDM too long to memorize hit builds. >< Sword strap is the grip of choice for a 528 delay scythe since it doesn't break your 6-hit build. (Can use this as reference.) You would use a Rose strap if going for a 5hit build though, with a weapon such as reckoning +1(StoreTP path), which is the scythe people should be making if they can't get the items for an OAT scythe. As for my DRK specific merits, I had posted mines here: http://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/13330/drk-merits-job-specific#793332 Unicorn.Fosgate said: As for gear, here's what i use. Nothing crazy.

Yea i know full perle is better but i just loathe the fact that all that hard word and time spent is replaced by a few hours in an abyssea pt. I dont care if full perle had 497% haste on it and accuracy +a billion, i refuse to look like 95% of the cookie cutter samurai's except holding a scythe. I'll take the small cut in stats to not look like i started the game 2 days ago

You're willingly gimping yourself because "homam looks better" ? If you really hate that much how it looks, then learn to .DAT swap?

I'd rather have a Dalmy than a Refresh+Regen body that looks like Nashira personally :X Someone going to flame me for that.

Full Perle: STR +22 DEX +14 Attack +25 > 41 (it's really 41 Attack, taking into account the att from the STR) Accuracy +18 > 28 (it's really 28 accuracy, taking into account the acc from the DEX) Haste +14% "Critical hit rate" +2% VS Walahra Turban + Hauberk+1 + Homam legs/feet/hands: STR +6 DEX +6 Attack +12 > 16 (it's really 16 Attack, taking into account the att from the STR) Accuracy +25 >29 (it's really 29 accuracy, taking into account the acc from the DEX) Haste +14% Full Perle for TP is the better option here, and it's free too, if you use your cruor (or cheap as well, if you want to buy it from AH). No reason to willingly gimp yourself by not using full Perle for TP here, in my opinion. Quetzalcoatl.Giazz said: If you really hate that much how it looks, then learn to .DAT swap? I could .Dat swap my character to wear a Barney costume, but everyone else would still see a cookie cutter Sam with a scythe.

If you really cared about what others saw and think, then you should be more worried about people thinking that you're wearing inferior gear by wearing turban/hauberk+1/homamX3, instead of full perle for TP. Really, not trying to be mean, but I don't understand your logic... I'm trying to understand why people still complain about full perle gear. It's a great set, your damage while TPing is up, you get cheap and easy haste, critical rate up, no real drawbacks outside of enmity increases if you're trying to lose it (I merited enmity down, so this negates it basically). Weaponskill pieces, sure their are better, but for TP this is optimal for anyone who hasn't been playing for 7 years and doesn't have everything (some people just don't have the time).
As for merits, following a similar trail here. Last resort recast and effect 5/5, desperate blows 5/5, and for me, dark seal 5/5. I didn't feel the boosted accuracy was needed for an hp decrease. If I wanted that, I'd use souleater, and at least do more damage while I'm at it. With a fully merited dark seal, I can pop off a nether voided drain II, souleater, and dark seal a regular drain to help keep my damage at its peak and not get murdered while I'm at it (well, get murdered as fast). Besides, I have 347 scythe (full merits and full cap), and that's before any equipment that boosts it. If I'm missing still, I should get a new job. I understand how you perceive (or dont perceive) my logic. I could easily go to the AH and spend very short gil on a full perle set. So could anyone. Not everyone can break out homam though. Its like an AC/DC concert T-shirt from 1983. Is it outdated? Yup sure is. But does everyone have one and can go out and buy one for $5 without actually waiting in line for days and sleeping on the sidewalk?
TL;DR My dark is just for Zerg, which wears 3x homam. For DD i use warrior. Leviathan.Agentd said: I'm trying to understand why people still complain about full perle gear.

Those merits are very extremely correct, though. *** Diabolic Eye. Personally I went w/ LR recast/effect. For cat2: I have Dark Seal 1/5, Desperate Blows 5/5. Probably going to finish Dark Seal 5/5, only reason its unfinished is because I am unsure of which I truly want to do.
It is true that hasso + DB 3/5 is capped JA haste. I don't know about you but half the time I'm not /SAM. So 5/5 wins. inb4 /SAM only. A lot of times I'm either a) Tanking, b) The mobs have nasty AoE moves that shadows are needed for. for the OP, LR recast/effect and Desperate Blows is generally a must 5/5. As for the other cat2 choice, it really comes down to your play style. If you only zerg w/ DRK, I'd go Muted Soul. If you like to not resist on HNM, I'd go Dark Seal. The only use I could think of for Diabolic Eye is, if you were going to swap out some ACC piece for more STR/ATK kind of like an Aftermath set. But I don't see 20 ACC being swapped out being worth your merits. |
