99 GSWD

Ok now that I've finished my WAR and SAM's 99 weapon I'm looking to make one for DRK. I have no intention of getting Empy / Relic / Mythic but am looking for the next best thing. I have 5/5 Resolution already.

Would the 99 STR GSWD be the weapon to shoot for? Experienced DRK's pleast assist.

If you're talking about Magian Trials...

The oCc.atk.twice one i think is decent.

Alternatively, a Borealis or Jing. Greatsword work fine. I'm not sure how the Weaponskill Damage on stacks up to the Jing or Borealis, but I'm pretty sure Borealis would win in that department.

Talking about a GSWD 90~99 that doesn't require a ton of dedication to get. I don't play DRK often enough to justify an Emp / Relic but I refuse to gimp it up.

Thanks for the feedback.

If you dont got a bunch of time, Just get a Jingang Greatsword, Its not horribly expensive.. ish, And it requires nothing but a trip to the AH, and its a great sword.

Prettymuch what Karbuncle Said. Borealis is rare, and if you don't have a VW ls, shouts can be rare. The OaT seems to be the popular choice these days, and not as big of a time commitment as an emp or GS, but all those kills will still be a pretty big time commitment. Jingang on the other hand you can just pick up at your local AH

Gram is better than jingang but WAR can't use.

Ok update to this.
I just finished stage 4 on Rag, 50/70 on Stage 5. This should be finished soon.

I noticed something that has sunk my spirits, it's 431 delay.

So now I'm asking the DRK community what's a good build to get the lowest X-hit possible while keeping 25% gear haste on both /WAR and /SAM? Needing best / near best TP / WS setups. I haven't yet started 100 Nyzule runs but that's on the radar, otherwise most gear options are on the table. If I went this far to get a Relic I'm not going to gimp myself by being lazy on the TP / WS gear.

You got to stage4 before realizing the stats on the final weapon? o_Oa

Oh I realized them, just didn't click how annoying it would be for a lower hit build. Need to tweak my gear that's all.

can 6 hit w/ the best gear for DRK atm i use
50 stp in tp and 25 stp in WS for a 99% 6 hit

/war u can 6 hit but i believe u need to use alot of Stp in WS to sustain it so really isn't worth it.

And that gear would be? I figured Phorcy's Head / Legs and the usual Rose / Rajas / Tyrants / Hyouri, anything else though?

/WAR is for voidwatch zerging kill it dead in 2min, otherwise /SAM is fine.

i don't have Phorcy's Head / Legs but they make it very easy to 6 hit

My setup atm (and isn't the best in game)

head "Zelus tiara"
ear1 "Brutal earring" (1 stp)
ammo "Hagneia Stone" (3 stp)
body "Adaman hauberk" (5 stp)
hands "Bale Gauntlets +2"
ring1 "Rajas Ring" (5 stp)
ring2 "Tyrant's ring" (4 Stp)
back "Atheling mantle"
waist "Goading belt" (5 stp)
legs "Calmecac Trousers"
feet "Ace's leggings" (5 stp)
neck "Houyi's Gorget" (3 stp)
grip "Rose strap" (4 stp)
/sam (15 stp)

That set keep 25% haste and 6 hit and i guess is the base set you can work off w/ Phorcy's Head / Legs it lets you have alot of freedom like being able to use a different body or switch out goading for wind buffet or w/e it's called

u can use carbonara or askar over adaman but askar may raise a few eyebrow lol

Thanks for the assistance. That gives me a really good starting point to go from, going to be organizing some Floor 100 Nyzule statics. Only two items I'm missing from that list is the gorget (threw mine away months ago, need to reacquire) and E.body (not a chance with the new pop system). Porcy's legs should alleviate that issue. As most content I do (right now) is VWNM based I usually have Misers + Discipline + Valiant set, so with a few tweaks I should be ok in voidwatch. Once I get Porcy's I can make a permanent 6-hit setup. Really don't want to resort to Askar body, but if its the difference between 7-hit and 6-hit might be worth it (provided 25% haste setup). Maybe use as a stand in or something.

most optimal set can 6 hit with /war but requires neo nyzul 100 gear.

rez's set works until you get a neo nyzul group. The floor 100 set is so good that it should be one of your top priorities once rag is finished.

Yep going to get some good LS mates and start farming it. I'm looking at using Ogiers hands for Voidwatch because I already have 5% haste from atmacite. It would be a stand in until I can complete a real full 6-hit setup.
