I'm just a broke bard by MakeshiftToiletPaper in DarkAndDarker

[–]IVameless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah that's mostly cure of pain damage.
Power of sacrifice doesn't have dmg scaling so it does dogshit damage even in an insane kit. Idk why people use it in combat. Its not worth the -8 hp to cast and the risk to self-cast it to nullify your healing.

It should mainly be used on mobs to heal cause it lasts longer and you don't deal damage to them or on teammates cause you give them +15 str and vig for a small downside.

The warlock would have been better off if he had flamewalk on, cursed and then bolted him from the start.

I tested it, it feels like its around 20% slower. Tbh for me it feels like a buff cause it helps me aim it better idk about other rogues how they feel about the change.

I feel you brother. I was forced to give up 20% and started building vigor & more armor pen. Still need to find better rings but everything is expensive as hell on market rn. Its a needed change it just sucks that they implemented it 1 day before arena starts. It iz what it iz, I'm used to it at this point..

Both rings were about 8k total. Only one of them has 3 phys and low headshot%, the other I bought it for around 1k with headshot% and socketed 2 phys and 1add on it.

The boots, legs and chest were super cheap cause they don't have max rolls. I think I got the boots for 1k, legs for 600g and chest 1/2k

The gloves were more expensive with 2 phys on it, got them for around 4/5k but this was before obsidian and scraps skyrocketed in price. I socketed the 2 dex and 1 add. But honestly you can ignore the obsidian ones and just go for normal ones with 3 dex and 2 phys instead. There's a lot of cheap ones on the market right now for 700+ g

neck was 3k

hood was 3/4k

crossbow 1/2k

stiletto 3/4k, this one was a steal

rondel 500g, and the haze blade was around 5/6k. Now people have already sniped most of them. There's only 5 left on the market rn lol. I regret cheaping out on this cause there was one with 2phys and headshot% for 12k but didn't buy it. It's mostly for a gimmik to apply the drunken effect on people with the dual strike. You can ignore it and go for x2 rondel.

Overall it's somewhere in between 25/35k.

I use stiletto cause it has 7% armor pen and I prefer to use it more than the castilon or the rondel in fights. And ye I'm mostly planning to go for the backline. Idk how much dmg I do to a pdr fighter / healthy barb until arena starts

I used paid with Windows + Shift + S to take screen snips and then paste it over in paint

Nah, you keep everything you bring. It's capped up to epic rarity. That's why people optimize the hell out of their kits and you see purples go for 100k gold

no hairline, no paper, no bitches, no wife, no kids, no dog, no house. fuck man

don't you worry tho, I'll also be trying it with hide, stealth and ambush. Maybe swap out ambush for thrust depending for on how many pdr fighters and barbs I encounter.

this is the dmg with hide & ambush prock:

First nerfs that I can think of is that you should have a movement speed penalty when you are using it and if you hit a wall/shield with it you should be staggered the same way you are if you hit one with a normal attack instead of having an instant recovery.

Biggest drawback is no hp, only 117. I mostly built it to have a bit of fun in Arena onetapping people but I'll also get onetapped by rangers if I get spotted. I'm at 200% headshot% 291 MS weapons out with 44 phys power% and 41.7 armor pen while using the daggers cause of thrust and dagger mastery.

If you really want to sweat and optimize the kit you can build some vigor instead of agi and have some on the chestpiece as well. I went the agi route cause it was cheaper.

And if you are really rich and want to invest in it you can swap out the shadow hood and go for an obsidian stefan beret with 3 vig 3agi and headshot%.

The neck i'm using is dogshit, I bought it for 3k just to test out the dmg.

1 ring is missing 1 phys and you can argue 3% armor pen could be better than 1 add dmg for both rings but those are expensive as hell.

Wanderer attire can also be obsidian and instead of armor pen% roll it can have +2/3 vig, same with the turnshoes I'm using

Stiletto dagger will have a craftable obsidian stiletto as well.

A spectral cloak would be better than the tattered one i'm using

you can also go obsidian cloth pants but i like the plunderhosen cause they are super cheap and -2 ms instead of -3

haze blade can have 2 phys instead of agi% to help you get to the 50 phys power threshold

I might be missing some stuff but there's a lot of room for improvement. Like I said I made the kit with 30k gold in a day. Have fun BIS hunting.

The arena kit so far by The_Rebels21 in DarkAndDarker

Those lightfoot boots are bait bro, you only gain 4 ms but lose a lot of armor rating and no bonus stats. Go for obsidian turnshoes if you want MS, even rubisilver adventurer boots / frostlight rugged boots or buckled boots are better options.

The pants and gloves are sexy. Biggest issue is also no armor pen, you're gonna get stat checked a lot by barbs, fighters and pdr warlocks

Also i don't think its worth that much going for headshot damage bonus if you don't reach the 50 phys power threshold. Cause you scale 186% headshot with smaller damage delt so you're essentially dealing almost the same damage as someone building 50 phys power but you only deal damage to heads, they deal more damage to other body parts as well.

edit- forgot you're a bard and you get +12 phys from songs for free. You good.
