    I hesitate between two variants for arena 1 vs 1 and 3 vs 3:
    -mighty set from Newmoon + keen"s set
    -dark set(3 parts)+keen"s set
    I use Cloaked Wrath.
    Any advices?

    I'd say it depends on your jewelry. If you have low critical rate like most DKs, probably go with as much dark set pieces to get critical rate up so that the cloaked wrath bonus actually comes into play. Dealing 1000% damage on critical hits is useless if you critical rate is like 12%.

    I agree. I looked at both sets on the Wiki and I would say that if your crit rate is already high go with the witch hunter set. In order to take full advantage of Cloaked Wrath, you'll want all the crit rate you can get, though, so if your crit rate is not 50-60% already I would definitely consider the Dark set (head/shoulders/chest).

    Although you get some crit rate from witch hunter hat, it won't compare to the gain received from the three dark pieces (Pauldrons/250 + Heart/100 + 3xSet/200 = 550 added to your total, then add +35% of your total crit value b/c of dark helm). The helm on Dark set is what really "seals the deal" on crit value, since it adds more than 1/3 of your total back onto your total.

    You do get 400 crit from the witch hunter set, and if you have decent rolls for stats your base damage will go up on average (but with a wider spread from low to high) and you get 500 HP and 200 resist from that set. You will most likely be losing HP from using the Dark pieces, and likely the only feasible way to improve them will be more powerful health gems, or a better ring of life (or 2X rings of life).

    Anyway, I hope this slightly lengthy and detailed analysis proves to be of some use in your decision. Happy gaming! :D
