show what you have

Here's my contribution to this excellent thread: My 1-year-and-a-bit old DK. Green essence is more or less a permanent feature of my DK I left it in.

 

Re offensive gem: a lot of f2p just farm map2 or other parallel maps heavily for anders and use those anders for offensive gems. Also, some events offer gem bags as event rewards. In the last dragan/warlord event, the special challenge map had a fake gnob boss that dropped gem bags. I probably got 30 to 40 bags myself (or whatever the norm was for completing all the challenges) but others tried to run that boss as often as possible to maximize gems.

Your picture with your gear and stats seems to have dissappeared, but what about going for either event set?

 

Really nice DK. I love the critical hit rate and speed

--MERGED--

My current build:



I added 3 treasures of the deep items in the left side to benefit from the 10% life and, more important, the 20% armor bonus, in order to compensate for the low armor from Witch Chaser Set. My plan now is simply to glyph up some items, farm resistance gems to put my resistance over 1k again, and farm as much resources as possible to be ready to lvl 50.

Any suggestion to improve is welcome, thanks.

 

Yup, i do that same m2 farming too, but anders seem to drop rarely and legendaries like 1 in 7-10 runs of m2. Next time warlord event is coming, im gonna try rly hard to get the set and gem bags.
Here are my new stats. http://tinypic.com/r/25kt26r/8

 

My beloved DK's current stat. The leg gloves gives extra 11% speed and nice armor+hp (a better version of Dark Gloves), and got nice crit boost from my full crit belt (my fave toy atm ).

 

That is some nice crit you have there. But I think you need either the Warlord or Witch Chaser set to truly realize the joys of being a 2H DK. Still, nice build.

 

Yea I would surely love to wear Warlord set. Hopefully the laser bug has been fixed (I doubt that..) on next Dragan so I could complete my missing 3 more capes.
but Witch Chaser? Well, I personally don't really like the set.. I keep mine in my locker. I always welcome for xtra speed and crit, but the damage has large gap, somehow I died more often when using it especially when tanking Mortis priests in a crowd at map2,
and lastly, imo a DK with cowboy hat looks kinda weird.. (this could be my main reason for not liking the set).

 

i wouldn't go frot that much CHR cuz your CHD is very low...i would go for bigger dmg lower CHR.
Deffinietly no sargon set for 2hnd build too little DMG bonus, go RED ESS set or YELLOW SET for dmg, good armor and good hp

 

I managed to complete Red Ess set at last Desert event, but I decided to melt them coz the set can't be combined with Keen's Might, which at that time I relied on Keen's so much (and the Sargon's bonuses as well). But now since lvl50 expansion is near, I'm trying to get the Red Set once again to see its possibilities to be combined with new lvl50 sets /gears. but for now I'd still choose Warlord set to replace Sargon's.

Yellow set looks quite interesting to me. It gives two set bonuses so we can choose 3 parts we preferred and get the first set bonus. Too bad it's the extra % armor which less useful for my build. I saw you have melted them on your other post.. oh well.. it breaks my heart, as I'm still working hard to get the boots part.
About my low crit damage.. yea I really want to increase it up to at least 250-270%. I have one unused lvl40 weapon adornment with 3 crit lines and 15% crit damage. When it hit lvl 45, I think it's better than the one I'm using now, but opening the rest two gem slots at this moment might be not a wise decision.
Thanks for the suggestions btw.

 

Can I see it? I thought that the max crit. damage value was 12.5%

 

... not just that ... 12,5% only for level 43-44-45 ... for lower level the max CD % is lower and that mentioned item is level 40.

 

Dang! Both of you were right about that. Sorry, my memory doesn't serve me well..
it's only 9,8%. so it rounded up my chd to 220%. not 225%

 

So tonight i finally finish ammon set, i was postponing since 11.2014.
it took me 6 days (days when i played q5) and at that moment i had 159/51/20



now i'll trie to finish 6v6 or get som GOP to prepare for lvl 50

EDIT: close-up pic

 

Visually impressive, but statistically underwhelming.

For the amount of effort needed, the set should have better stats. Perhaps even have a 6th item bonus that ties in with using the EoT weapon.

 

Iron Man+Minotaur+Bane

 

anybody have full yellow essence set-is it any good-i got witch chaser didnt know which is better liked the bonuses on yellow but couldnt do without speed and crit from witch

 

Desert of Essences

if you don't have better than use yellow set
i am using witch chaser becaus i lack of CHR on every other set

 

The dark helmet has better critical rate boost than the whole witch chaser set together.

 

i completed yellow set in 5 runs but for the fact i come from sargon set with 2 yak and a 9k health i dont like the yellow set with 5k health for an extra 200 damage. But the 10% armour is great but not worth it my opinion on my ranger

 

still to little CHR...need better claw cuz only claw and cloack gives me CHR
