Well, quess i am common casul... Since accessories go right into STR while left side is random mix of det and crit.

Thou i wait for times when melding things like piety or skill speed will be worth an effort. i mean. 1.4k mana is probably worth an effort, but not sure if those 35 AP (7 per accessory) is worth those sexy +80 mp soul siphon strikes lol

MP return from all skills that do not specify how much MP is returned is a flat amount unaffected by any other stat.

I guess my post didn't clearly clarify that stats don't matter when it comes to Soul Siphon and Carve and Spit.

SkS is fine since it doesn't interfere with STR/PIE issue. It's definitely an unexplored territory with how PIE works in the game, that is currently clashing with the "best" build that is STR melds. With how DRK is also working with the kits, of course I still very much doubt the extra PIE is ever gonna be useful, unlike PIE stacking on BLM where you have unlimited resource that doesn't go into huge CDs.

The issue with Piety is that even if you meld all spots with it, the mp you get MAY only just put you over 4 DA's before empty(race's may vary), though that's a loss of 75 STR and 80?idk roughly 80ish secondaries for a higher MP pool, which doesn't help because you regenerate at roughly the same rate, so the cap only helps those who forget to DA.

Regeneration is not the issue here. Compare to BLMs that have enough HP tend to go PIE or just full SpS only because more mana = more fires. DRK has several skills locked behind CDs like DP, CnS. So you are only comparing DASE for the most part and it's just a 120 potency up once a while. In that regards, compare having 75 STR more that impacts 95% of your damage. We still have no idea how PIE build for DRK does (especially since PIE build would have been way more awesome with the old i150s pentameld), so I will reserve my comment until someone actually has the excess money to test it out and give more data.
