Unique Gear Thread for DK's.

Ditch that buckler and use a quiver ... any quiver would be better option.
This way your block rate is way too low and you have no critical hit.
If you are about to eat the dust ... at least do it with style.

 

Great, now that I'm jelaous, I want to see your belt and arrows. And bow, if you're in the mood. Pretty please!

 

Thanks for the recommendations!

You Rangers should become more familiar with the editing button, less with the double posting xD. Better I say it than mods!

Consipiracy, your images don't work... can't see them.
Alright... you fixed them. Let's see...

Well, you're alright... but you have lots to improve (starting with your armor and resistances, as you've said yourself). Maybe try for Dragan set, as it's coming fairly soon.

Also, is that quiver only HP? I see no other difference.

 

Found Keens steps in viscanium event main map 2 days ago. Also found sparks pathfinder the next day in the same map while playing my dwarf.

 

Hello everyone,
This is my ranger's setup for PvE and for PvP as well when I'm too lazy to switch builds (which is most of the time).

I'm going for a pure offensive build and don't want to switch any of the items to go more defensive. My offense gems are still all radiant so I could make it a lot better. As for the defense gems, I only use Amethysts and Diamonds and have got most of them at radiant level with the exception of 4 flawless Cyanites+20% armor gem on the armor. I was wondering what gems I should use more/less in order to make my defensive stats more efficient.
Any suggestions to increase my current DPI would be appreciated as well.

 

You don't need that much critical hit rate ... If I were you i would lower it down to ~65% and increase the damage or attack speed.
And you have a problem with your HP ... at least 6K-6,5K HP is compulsory.
But what is puzzling me is your concentration ... where do you get 131 concentration points from? That is not possible with your gear.

 

I tried trading crit for damage but it only lowered my DPI. I still have one crit line in bow which can be traded for damage if I get a better bow(Would lower crit rate to 66%). I don't have any items to trade crit for speed at the moment (with better bow maybe?).

Yes but I should be able to get to 6.5k with better gems. Currently, in the wisdom tree, I have 5 points on speed, 10 on weapon damage, 10 on concentration (hence 131 concentration points with the help of one concentration gem) and 25 on damage. Once I get better sapphires, I could put those 5 points from speed to hp, which would solve the HP problem.

 

I would toss those 10 points from concentration to 10 points into HP. It is amazing that you can function with so little health.

 

Damn it ... old school ... I completely forgot about 25% concentration points from that new crappy knowledge talent (which I don't even take into consideration) XD.

I think it would be better if you use those 10 points on hp instead of concentration ... you are using longbow after all ... 105 concentration points are enough You can fire EA and 3 PS.

 

Yes, I have been thinking of taking off the 10 points from concentration for a while. I think I'll wait for my gems to evolve into radiant at least to carry me off to 6k hp. For now, I'll get my speed to the next break point because its tempting. Here is the stats with 8 more points on speed and 2 points on hp.

EDIT: DPI went from 8.4k to 9.1k now
By the way, how do I know that the speed hasn't been rounded off. When I take one point off speed, my speed is 1.48. Taking off one more I get 1.46. I cannot tell the difference through mere observation. Any good way to test it?

 

The next break point is 1.579/1.481 ... so the best thing for you is to get your attack speed to 1.61 (just to be sure).

EDIT: the previous break point for the hunting arrow is 1.429 ... you are at 1.481 break point for PS/EA/DB
You can see the break points here https://board-en.drakensang.com/threads/attack-speed-breakpoints.69613/


BTW these are some of my items that I don't use (since I don't PVP after R155).

 

Those are some rare stats.

The gloves that I use is pretty much similar to this. On boots, I have 3 lines of damage and 1 line of HP. As for longbows, I don't think attack speed would be much efficient for PvPs either. I find it much harder to kill DKs with a shortbow than longbow.

 

I don't use shortbow ... I just thought that bow is worth showing off XD.
I am using longbow for both PVE and PVP (at least before R155). ATM I am very close to achieving 2.00 attack speed with longbow ... only by using gloves and sapphires (no rings, set bonus, King's Helmet, knowledge points ... etc). together with something over 3K base damage is a way to go for me. Only thing i miss is better bow than my current one (which I am using since the Myrdosch expansion).
ATM I am looking for longbow with +25% attack speed and +75% weapon damage. XD
And i will get it ... since i am getting only crap in the past 4 years ... this is the right time for me to get lucky.

 

HaHa Yes, its about time now. At least now I know what to aim for.

 

Anything is possible with a good tank.

Assuming that you don't have any speed lines on your bow, each 1.6% speed from the knowledge points gives you approximately 0.0133 speed.

 

From his videos, it seems he runs with a Spellweaver (snowbunny I think it was?) pretty regularly. I find I do more damage consistently if I can take a shot and limit the amount of running around trying not to die.

But yes, a good tank is awesome to play with, which is why I pester Cazic to group with me whenever I can .

 

Yes... I am a very good tank. I can only take one hit and I die.
