Unique Gear Thread for DK's.

My 9 months old character Setup for PvE. There is still place to improve both defence and offence.
Now if I need more hp I wear Blood Rune Amulet or change boots for speed ones.

 

Very nice work for 9 months! It looks like you have some pretty nicely crafted items.

 

Very nice. This shows a level of skill and thought that many rangers would do well to emulate.

Too often RAs are upset that they can't just spam 2-3 skills and expect to be a beast in PvE, but you show that playing with your full skill set allows you to do things that many RAs couldn't.

In particular, the Blade Dance/Wolves/Adrenalin combo reminds me a little of a DK's Swing/Charge/Spin combo. It keeps you moving, does nice damage, and keeps the HP up.

Again, nicely done.

 

Hi all, this is my noob RA and equipment:







Is it possible to build a decent toon around the red essence set (I hope so, because i dont have the patience to farm for the darkness or dragan sets...)? If yes, what are your recommendations? Thanks in advance for your help!

 

In a word, "No."

The 15% damage from the essence set is totally insignificant now that you can get/craft % damage on a torso. With two OK lines (8%+) you can easily get 16%-18% damage from just the torso alone. If you can't work on the Darkness set, then your best bet is a selection of good legendaries. Right now, your only ok legendary item is the arrows. The rest have significant room for improvement.

If I'm right, you haven't played in a while. You've missed some significant opportunities for improvement and it will take some time to get there. Keep an eye out on future events and look for good gear to augment what you have, and start collecting items for crafting so that you can make a good long bow.

 

My ranger's gear and stats:


I'm hoping that sharing here will help keep me on track towards my goals... Currently I'm splitting my time between farming green/blue presents and the first map of Stonekeep... I go to bosses with my guild some too.

These are my current goals that I hope to meet within a month and a half. Suggestions/criticisms are welcome.
1. Finish crafting 3/4 critical hit/critical damage necklace. I already have two 2/3 necklaces for this... I've run out of gold though.
2. Get the Karabossa set. I've essentially never done the new moon event so I have no idea how long this is going to take. I will buy the tier 3 cloak before anything else, I think.
3. Upgrade bow to 55 (need 5mil more glyphs)
4. Craft a % damage torso... currently only have one line for this (9.5)
5. Craft a good 2/3 or a 3/4 critical hit rate quiver... I have four 1/2 for this but am struggling to get them to 2/3.
6. Buy a lucky sphere of dragonsilver and hopefully get a Bloodtooth ring... I'll have enough draken for it after the new moon event.
7. Get my Duel W/L ratio to 75%... currently at 66% I'm not hugely into the pvp. I just do it for daily challenges, but I do want to get better at it... It would be nice to have a 1.0 w/l ratio eventually.

I'm also working on a cd/critical hit rate weapon adornment in case I can't get the Karabossa set... I may also use the witch chaser set if I can get it, at least until I craft my torso.

 

Have you considered the Darkness armor? It has a lot of potential to help your crit rate.

 

Patience is one of factors for improving character.
If you do just like JabaRune does, making big plan & breakdown the plan into pieces to avoid random farm without objective. I believe you will get improvement by improvement thus making easier for you to get what you want.

It is your choice to bet 1:3 odd when you got enough draken.
But Bloodtooth is item you can live without.. always can find any ring for filler. Who knows you can craft 2nd exo chr or cd ring.
After all that is why you collect green & blue present isn't it.. trying to get craft ingredients.
Specifically crafting non gold lines item with 200+ chr & 14%+ cd.. also a way to go. These lines appear more, but we sell/melt it anyway. Imagine if we kept it, we might get better improvement by crafting it.

 

Is this the set you are talking about? http://drakensangonline.wikia.com/wiki/Armor_of_Darkness
I haven't looked at it before, but I would use all the pieces but the gloves if I could get my hands on them... The lucky spheres of darkness are 1500 each though so I could only buy two. With only two pieces of the set, I wouldn't want them to be the gloves or the torso... I would have to get pretty lucky to get two pieces that aren't either duplicate items or the gloves/torso... I could always luck out and get the helmet, but I think I'd be better off trying to get the bloodtooth ring...

Getting Bloodtooth would be huge for me because of the health too... I think I compensate well for how squishy I am by dodging and paying attention in general, but a ring that gives me 750hp and is great for my damage would be amazing...

I'm a little bitter that I didn't start playing a week earlier, because then I would have had 4000 Draken to purchase the ring a few days ago when it was up for sale... I easily could have farmed another 1500 realm fragments to use in the Defeat the Undefeatables event...

I'm honestly torn here. I don't want to waste Draken, but I really want the ring... I will want the Black Warlord Regalia set in the future so I don't want to end up spending ~10,000 Draken trying to get the ring... If I ended up not being able to get the Black Warlord Regalia set when it is on sale because I gambled my Draken for the ring I'd be quite upset...

Yup, that is why... I actually got the idea from your post in the crafting 2.0 thread... I never liked your post there because at first I didn't realize how good of an idea it was, but if you hadn't planted that thought in my head I doubt I'd have half the useful crafted items that I currently do... I think I've gone through ~3000 green presents at this point...

 

Unfortunately, you just missed the items being on sale themselves from Gnob.... maybe next time.

I hear you... there is no better ring for a DK. I have it at LVL 51 and I get 1033 HP and 1198 crit from each of my Bloodtooth rings. No legendary could come close.

Last year Crafting 2.0 was still in the planning phases, and we had no clue what it would look like, but in anticipation, I saved cubes and presents. When Crafting 2.0 was released, I opened over 1k cubes and over 1k presents. That is one of the reasons I was able to make as many good items as I did in such a short time.

 

You're right, haven't played in a while. Thank you for you recommendations!

Man... I wish we had these kind of windows for the bonus codes so that they can save you when you missclick.

 

That is a perfect build... no wasted crit and no wasted crit damage leaving the rest to go into damage. Very nice!

 

That's not so impressive []

 

I'm a little late to the party.

 

Hello, long time I was not here cuz my stats was the same, but now... something new. Critical dmg x5,00 I get with new gems from Viscanium event.

 

Hi everyone... in my last post I shared some goals I had for the next month, and it's been a month now so I figured I'd update you all on my progress...

Everything but the belt and uniques were crafted... Unfortunately, I lost four 2/3 belts because of the client crashing while I was in the crafting window...

Still a ways to go in order to get the karabossa set, but I've met my other goals. I'm comfortable enough with the current strength of my character to start focusing on long term improvements. I'm going to be more strict with crafting now so that I can make good 4/4 items. I probably won't use any of the items I currently have as ingredient items for my 4/4s. Maybe as junk items, I guess. The helmet is really the only one I'm considering using as a 3/4 to go to 4/4.

The only thing about my character that is really bugging me is having only 25 wisdom... it's tempting to spend ander on it, but I think I want to save my ander to buy amphora keys to get the Karabossa set faster... pretty low on ander too, right now. I was saving up, but when the dragan event started I decided to farm dragan lvl 3 for draken... self revives and spirit stones get expensive. It's not an issue when I'm with a good group, but it's a little hard for me to get in one... On the bright side, I've been having fun and I do have most of the old dragan set and the full bellicose set now... and a bloodtooth (which I bought by accident)... not sure if I'll ever use them though.

Edit: Thanks for the advice and tips guys. I appreciate it. I think I will wait for the Dwarf Heist event to get amphora keys.
