That’s the activation chance
I started capping most skills so I went
Evil Eye PDMG
All 3 Pact
Gungnir +Line
Doesn’t all gungnir give more dps
Yes, but I am capping
Capping what, I don’t know what you’re talking about
I am limited by my max damage, I am hitting my damage cap
Ahhh
I cannot hit any harder even if I had 1000000% boss damage
so I chose survivability hypers 
I agree, but it's slightly more beneficial to me atm
I see
Are there specific c-nodes that are recommended for DKs? I just capped my boost nodes and am wondering if I'm missing something.
What is a c node?
C-node as in the v-matrix skill nodes that are specific to a class (in this case, warrior). Different than v-nodes which are specific to the job (in this case, Dark Knight).
Use all of them, impenetrable skin first
What are the iframe skills for this class?
Yes, FA is basically garbage for DK, but since we don't use nigthshade in bossing, it's the only other one to go for i guess...unless you want to improve Charge
I think a lot of people do Evil eye PDI , pact enhance + cooldown, gungnir FD and lines. It gets harder to cap gungnir at higher MDC. Having longer pact/shorter CD is extremely helpful in gloom, Archon, Will even, and eventually VHilla (moderate pact for all of t hese guys)
Impen skin
Final pact...most people use Greater (Ark/lotus) or Moderate (all other boss)
A good moderate pact user is nearly unkillable
In the long run, is Jaihin the best type of weapon for DK? I've been thinking about Bloody.
Crit dmg all the way
I'll stick with Jaihin then. Thanks.
Long Long Run is Necro/Abso and it resets so you can pick CD then
If you had a nice emblem on a Bloody, it works as a necro project
🦗
Dark Thirst healing nerfed
what hyper passives are you guys running? i think i have to swap mine
To what
Any ab / boss wheel pre 200
I’m looking for 2 min line count along with battle analysis results. Please let me know your best number!
Chamo put it somewhere
swapped to final pact enhance for the iframe duration since all other iframes longer cd
What hyper passive are you guys running for DK now?
@tired kiln @misty rivet and other veterans
How are you using blitz shield atm? I am pretty confused where it is most useful, perhaps gloom darkness, HA crystals, Will P1 test P2 anytime and P3 for yellow eyes?
And maybe Damien Dive / balls idk
I’m mainly considering when it would be useful to activate blitz shield instead of the iframes really…considering we use moderate pact and impen skin
This is my current setup, with the hero’s wil / Erda will in the back wheel
Wondering if perhaps I should just put stun in the back just to fit blitz shield at the front
At the moment I have no problem surviving so I’m full dmg, but I miss the pact convenience
I just have it on pet auto buff, doesn’t it explode after like 5 seconds now, I use it mostly for the passive dmg
Didn’t it get buffed to a 500k shield for 10 seconds
I started to use it for vhilla if I can’t get in the correct spot and need to tank a hit
Yea that’s probably best, it’s on the same cooldown as the iframes tho
Yea so I guess it can be used like a pseudo-iframe to tank annoying stuff
Ill probably put it with my imp skin + pact preset but idk if i want it to come up before iframes or after
Personally I have it after imp skin on my preset
Same
It'd suck if my emergency iframe button was delayed because of a pseudo iframe
Alright fair enough, thanks guys
I do also keep it after impen skin now too, but have 1 slot on back half of skill wheel for a sticky situation where I need to tank e.g. white eyes haha
What nodes should I focus on next?
All decent skills and Blink level 1
Any particular order?
it's a pretty cheap ATK boost with all the extra slots now so it's quite quick 
Alright thanks 👍
These attacking skills are pretty important too as levels reduces the CD, down to 120s
Yeah my initial question was about if there was something to focus on first. After the decent skills and blink, I'm guessing cyclone or radiant would be best to focus on.
Aura, Cyclone, and Radiant are all similar % of my damage for me
Aura is probably the easiest to hit so I'd prefer to max that first
Aura and cyclone max first as the 2min cooldown lines up with MGB WA epic adventure dark thirst and all these “burst” buffs
Not that you need to craft these V skills specifically (as it’s less efficient than opening random nodes), but more if you have exp nodes and not sure where to put them
Thanks for the advice. I'll be focusing on those two then.
#buffDK
true buff dk
i couldnt keep aggro in hard vhilla as 3 set arcane vs an adele thats 2 set only buffing 30s 
#LSP
im gonna boss rush and make sure you cant 2% next run

Eh did Adele get buffed this much?
yes but also he just is stronger than me
better stats and higher ied
i just have higher mdc
As an aside, in Verus Hilla, what is the method people are using to dodge strings/projectiles? Do you primarily use Rush to get behind her, or Upward Charge to dodge tornado, or a combination of both?
I assume Moderate Pact is the way to go for pact type anyway, since it means our HP gets refreshed on 'death'
Ah crap LOL IED really matters at that point hey
LOL I see that is bonkers
i use greater pact and use Nemi's Lunch Box (50% speed buff) that usually helps me dodge most if not all strings
if i need to i can use dash
or pop impen skin / blitz shield to tank the damage if need be
Oh? That's insane, speed is that useful huh...wow
Interesting...greater pact...I guess it's a longer iframe, as long as got door or something to refresh the life
Got it, I'll check it out, I'm really not close to VH but that's the next boss and I know I'll need to learn the mechanics even when I get there, might as well start early
I went into NVH solo to try it out, pretty annoying since the Greed Echo summon keeps following me and spamming at me lol
yeah i just prefer greater pact, i try to hold onto it for as long as i can in the fight since i use both Final Pact-Enhance and Final Pact - Crit Damage hyper passives
Ah I see, makes sense, I guess I'm doing Moderate because I'm practising solo and mainly trying to survive more than anything
Perhaps in a real fight greater would be better since got door / other stuff, and gives 45s of free hitting
yeah also can come down to playstyle too
Yep makes total sense, I have seen people use Greater Pact in Gloom etc but I have been an avid Moderate Pact spammer since HDam
Thanks for the tips!!!
I’m pretty sure I checked a long time ago that the crit dmg buff is always active
I use moderate as well, the long iframe is cool but it’s just a crutch once you’re actually gaming, dk can dodge so freely
Fair enough, thanks for the tips boss
I've been using moderate pact since you explained it earlier in the year, really a godsend haha
Do you ever use Upward charge to dodge VH slashes? Or only when she casts Tornado (with projectiles going left and right)
I was using a lot of upward charge (for everything) but then found that Rush was a bit better, except for the tornado
Oh damn really? I never did testing
Yea I usually use upward charge to initiate my erda blink float
Yea I checked what my crit dmg was before I activated greater, then while it was on the 10 minute window, then I died to proc it and checked lastly when it was on cooldown, the number never changed
Just selecting any of the 3 pacts turns on the crit dmg
Interesting that’s good to know
I find that the jump button is buggy and might flash jump me from an accidental double press so I use upward charge to create height
Hey everyone, I’ve been looking through and couldn’t find an updated AB/ Bossing wheel. Can someone share theirs or point me in the right direction? Thanks!
one thing i learnt from this whole bossing experience is... always be glad theres someone stronger than you
Besides 4:48 it was immaculate dodging
How badly do you need the 45 second iframe lmao, I feel you’d get slightly more utility from moderate from the extra HP heals.
I use the 45 seconds cause I was going to be aggro
Then belly came in and well yeah I can’t catch his damage
So I’ll probably swap, I just like the lazy 45 seconds of invincibility
With moderate you’ll get at least 6 x 8 second iframes, 3 of which you can activate when you really need it and 3 that’ll activate like greater
If you have the 3 minute cooldown I think you can get one more cycle of moderate as well
It’s just preference tbh, everything else looked good, I made a preset with hyper + will skill + up jump just so I could get in the air faster
yeah i only boss on pc so upjumping is easy for me
This is very interesting...I don't use Hyper anymore, and what happens when your Will skill suddenly comes off CD when you want to upjump? Do you sometimes fail to upjump/dodge?
I’m only using hyper now because we have so many v matrix slots and it’s fun to do
You would fail if you were saving Will skill for Christmas lmao, but if you cast it you’ll have enough time, upjump is very fast
You only need to upjump for Damien dive, gloom tentacle and vhilla skull (and you can dodge Will phase 3 push pretty well with it too, but will skill won’t be an issue here). These attacks are very telegraphed
That makes sense, I definitely don't save my Will skill but I'm afraid of it suddenly coming into the preset then not upjumping in time LOL
I didn't think of the Will thing here actually, that makes a lot of sense...
I actually have Cyclone + Will skill in a preset, Darkness by itself, and upjump by itself .. not sure if this is the most optimal ..
I put darkness with the final dmg buffs so that they are always up during the aura window
Oho that's very smart LOL
Depends and gungnir evil eye final attack
Go
evil eye pd
Final pact crit dmg
Gungnir boss
Gungnir extra hit
Gungnir fd
Not 2 evil eye?
Nah no point
Second trio is , charge, hyper and impale?
Most of your non burst dmg comes from gungnir
Yea sure, it’s largely pointless, we didn’t need that one
Ok
But since there’s space go ahead
Have AB wheel for post 200?
@tired kiln
Radiant evil, spear of darkness, gungnir, hyper, everything else won’t one shot
I think I have impale on there now, and upjump
Impale isn’t goood for AB?
It won’t one shot
How does final pact work? Should I choose up left or right for mobbing and bossing?
Left for iframe
Up for iframe + res after death + iframe
Right for res after death + iframe
cooldown and iframe duration differs, so gotta see your needs
Hey y’all I’m burning a Dk can someone please give me the hyper passives to max
check pin
no 
I'm wondering where to put hyper stat into, I've maxed skill and final dmg what's next priority?
Hyper stat?
Max Damage, Final Damage, P Damage, Additional hit
Alright, thanks! I maxed additional hit and final,l
Is this accurate?
Idk but you should increase the hexa stat before any skills
Dmg increase everywhere > dmg increase to specific skills
I’m not following that
I think the first lvl to gungnir gives you a good FD boost but still lower prio than hexa stat
If you can get the 2nd additional stat to lvl 9 you get 125m mdc
Getting 11% fd on everything was a good feelings damage wise
290 frags to max
Now I can sit and let sol erda build while I hit hexa stat now
Oh you went the
route okay
This is vhilla right after patch so I only had 6th job
Nothing else
I don’t have ss of bosses last night on phone
Can send later after work
The line count buff to cyclone really shows
Actually have downtime at work right now. Here’s clucid last night and current stats
Yeah right at start
can show what the bonus on all 4 V skill after unlock?
You mean this?
Yeah
So you think it’s worth going for stats first? Def ignore is a big one right?
I have no idea what order to go
I got my hexa main stat up to lvl 3 (when it starts costing 20 frags) and now I will lvl each of my hexa skills to lvl 1 for +11% FD (7 sol erda + 90 fragments)
Idk what order I’m gonna go in, but origin will be last, based off norzy’s battle analysis I might go
V skills 4 to 1
Gungnir
Origin
Anyone got a ss of gungnir's hexa levels?
Ah yes thanks! Lv1 only increases damage by 3%?
Yeah
I wish they gave us a chart to see all the way up to 30
Also for those wondering, I’d suggest getting 1 point into gungnir, then 10-15 into hexa stat. If you aren’t spending you should be able to farm enough sol erda to be able to get v3 and v4 boost nodes. Then finish off hexa stat
IF YOU ARE GETTING LUCKY with hexa stat, finish that off first
It’s a massive increase in stats. Pricey yes, but I’m getting 125m mdc. That’s more than 2 arcane 70 pieces
The reason to go v3,v4 boost nodes is if you don’t mess it up and use it during ds4, it will out damage you 6th job currently since origin is only level 1 and not getting power from regular nodes like your v skills do
I think the hit count is 19 vs non-hexa 16
opinions about my DK?
Necro spear first order of business, but there’s a lot after that
ok
but is good for the moment? I need to farm with mules to reach emblems
Pally, Hero, Magicians, Pirates, Shade, etc
they 're my mules
It depends on what you’re trying to clear at this moment
bossing, he's my main
I need to farm mules to reach enough mesos to buy emblem equipments
My hot take is to worry about emblems later, mastercrafting and exalting is much worse
Why go 1 point into Gungnir and then HEXA stat? Is the 3% damage increase so much worth it over HEXA stat ?
3% and extra lines on our main skill is why I suggest it. Plus getting 5 erda soul will take awhile is f2p so it’ll let you stack up on fragments in the meantime
Unless you are hard hard capping with everything then go into stat and hope for a nice high level line to put mdc on
But I could be very wrong I’m just suggesting with what I did
Hmmkay
I follow your advice
What’s the quickest way to get all erda
All
SOL
non f2p
Gungnir is 2 SOL erda + 20 frags while hexa to just open is 5 sol erda and 20 frags
Then more frags on top of that to get stats
Frags can be bought
Buy the pass in event tab
It’s only 3 sol erda innit
And buy the SOL from moon frag shop
Ohhhh wait the energy thingiemajingie too
This Thursday I’ll either have a video or ss of charts from bosses again I can show
I’ll have maxed out hexa stats and level 2 origin skill
I am doing what Norzy recommends
kinda crazy the buff we got to v3
might be worth to pick the boost node for it earlier than i thought
just did a vhilla hard solo practice
What’s ur skill rotation?
Do you origin while v4 is up?
Is there any difference in selecting MDC as main stat instead of Defence Ignore?
No. For 100m u can move it around. Doesn’t matter what u choose. But u do eventually want max points on main stat
Is it still worth it to go DMG ignore rate for hyper skill? Or focus on something DMG focused like CD or BA?
PDI FDI MDC ASI are all 25
It’s not the same dmg ignore as DEF, it’s a defensive skill similar to how darkness aura reduces dmg taken
You were never supposed to focus dmg ignore rate from hyper stats
That’s what I was told
Boss attack would be next

But yea, go boss attack, and then crit dmg would be last
The reasoning here is it’s easier to come by crit dmg than it is to come by boss attack
I’ll reset the hyper stat, thanks
anyone know why my darkness aura is saying i only used it 3 times and not 4?
I got something similar to this in my last hilla run, I’m pretty sure I used the slash
Might just be a bug or somehow the slash missed
Damn
Is it worth it to invest in job 4 HEXA once for the additional lines before maxing HEXA stat?
I have the same question is it worth to activate hexa gungnir before working on hexa stat? Or max hexa stat first ?
HEXA ginger yeah
Is there anywhere like a sheet where you can find the upgrade info per HEXA skill?
Its the same for almost every class
Level 1 = 11% FD increase
Go to skills > 250 > mastery
So no additional lines?
Never enough lines brother
Guys can i get auto skill board and bossing
Prioritize dodging strings,
try your best to not get hit at all or stand in poison cloud/ad corpse,
I like to use blue pact to get a few HP resets since you won’t be healing
The strings won’t hit same place twice, so you can weave
Try origin somewhere right after a string hits, since it won’t hit same place you might be safe but it’s 50/50 like everything else in this game
Bind her for altars 
we can iframe altar with impenetrable skin
any other iframe apart from pact that im not aware of?
Scroll up, it’s there somewhere
Origin also has iframe i think
sadge 2 skills haha
I don't think you can be in iframe if you're trying to take altar, like in Damien
sry my bad english
i mean the strings and also some attack.
i think avoiding strings alltogether is what the play im aiming but very conditional
Greetings! Humbly asking for your kind guidance on what to do with this now, thank you
Your going to want all your V Skills, especially calamitous cyclone and darkness aura. For your skill trios you basically wanna boost the main skills 2/3 times, they max at 60 so you wanna find another trio with gugnirs evil eye and final attack so it can max out
For arcane force you just do you dailys and use mesos to level up as you go, it gets pricey later on but the early levels are cheap and give phy att
Thanks for your kind reply, btw where to spend the red meso as i am limit with 200m and also im almost done with trade permit, its 916 points now 🥲
Put the red mesos in storage, I use it for upgrading symbols, level up items etc
Hi I’m a new dk to the game is there anyone here can help me with a basic set up and ss of theres nodes please 🙏
Also max 200m in storage, tried to use my alt to hold the meso and btw im almost done with trade permit. I will be able to buy now my jaihin spear 😁
Ff
Huh
Am I mistaken, or shouldn't cyclone Max damage be the same as my other V Skills?
Must be using it without ds4
Impossible 
I figured it though, hitting the Lotus spawn in Vhilla has a lower DEF
That makes sense!
to get stronger? what shall i?
Anyone can share kill count on 30 map
Think Im killing very slow
And ab wheel skill
Thank you very much
I get about 8000/hr
Solo?
yeah
Damn, what's your wheel because clearly mine is wrong 
8500/hour
Can someone send me their bossing wheel + preset please
It’s to happen tbh. Iel is a better mobbing class than dk
Any tips on maps in af to grind mesos or should I just aim highest level with 150% boost
Rush lvl 250 bro
Unlock all your lines
Sell me a abso weapon pro dk players a2 croa
Hello!
Just a quick question if dark impale is a must for AB wheel or just gungnir is enough? What skills do you guys usually use for ab and for boss wheel? Thank you
Btw, i was lucky enough to successfully craft my necro spear on my third attempt 🤣
Send AB wheel presets
Waiting for ab wheel presets and for boss thank you 😁
Hoping and wishing that someone will share their ab wheel haha, specially for below level 250. Thank you so much
For souls, what is considered better for non-weapon gear: boss atk or crit dmg? I know final dmg is best, but I'm too poor for that.
I currently am using crit dmg, but a lot of my flames scale with boss atk. I feel I could benefit more from boss atk, but I'd like advice first.
this is just me, but all my emblems are cdmg so i use boss atk souls
if you use the gear for farming as well then cdmg will be more useful and versatile
Thanks for your input. I ended up doing some hard math to see which was better for me, and I made the switch to boss atk. Good to see I made the right decision.
Hi! Just a humble question, where did you get that weapon skin? Thank you
From donating and getting points through an event last year
how many kills per hour you guys get from SPF20? Is SPF 20 better than 30 for DKs?
9K kills per hour in SAC30
so about the same as you there
Thanks for the info!
I farm in SPF 30 now too after doing tests in both maps
Hola! Just a quick question, Is it possible to clear ark with full necro equip below level 250?
If you know the mechanics, you can do a full 10 minute run
Multi? How do you survive the screen cracks in a 10min run?
Hello! Looking for advice if I need to get another trio for this node : evil eye, gungnir, and final
And which one to add and should I remove the other trio? However when I tried to remove the trio below, my atk power also decreased
Thanks in advance for your kind input
You seem to have two trios for evil eye/gungnir/final that are level 25 and are in level 5 slots. That means those three skills are at level 60, which is the cap. Adding any more to any of these skills will do nothing and will waste your resources.
What other nodes can I use, what's your recommendation? Tried to remove everything but when I put everything back the attack power from upper left screen has changed I don't knowwhy
I would remove the slot level on boosts
I have 3 trios for level 75/60, but that gives me +10 slot points for skills
Ignore that number tbh
I would use/add literally all the decent skills, just for the PATK
even Decent Hyper Body
Which boosts
Gungnir Final Eye
Are there any other useful nodes to check here before I extract and craft all those decents?
I have so many extra slots I also 75/60 boost
Charge/Nightshade/Impale
The other nodes I'll just extract so I can craft those decents? Thanks for your kind input
Any tips when extracting or crafting to save resources?
Level boosts to 25 and extract
1100 shards for the grand total of 60 nodes I think
