    Question on Stats for Dark Knight.

    Hello people, I just have a question about some stats I should focus on, As me playing a dark knight I do like to focus on Parry alot i know its kinda meh bleh. But Would it be a good idea to focus on Crit hit. And Str for more dmg. (also for that SoulEater)

    P.S What does Det do.. I know it's been changed a bit. Does it improveing healing? or dmg both? It is a confuseing stat to me.

    Det improves, your Auto attack potency and some skill damage, but i heard that before 3.0 it was nerfed or at 3.0.

    As far as that goes tho its still not a bad idea to stack it if you can get it.

    As Far as stats go however, Play to your style. For me i play a heavy crit based DRK and focus on alot of crit and skill speed i think like most of the game to improve my overall dps.

    I just focus on getting higher level gear and deal with whatever the stats are. Put all my points in str and I haven't had a single issue. Haven't done void ark or the new floating island instance yet but otherwise it's been good. But do whatever you like. More importantly have some fun. We pay to play after all

    Do this. If you're doing Savage, make sure you have enough ACC for whatever floor you're doing. If you're doing Diadem take what you can get, but CRT > DET > SS in terms of what will give you the most DPS point for point.

    Det's auto attack bonus has been nerfed. I don't know if it still affects auto attacks in any way at all now, but if it does, it's way less than before.
    For any tank you should just focus on getting the highest ilvl you can while getting your accuracy cap and avoiding parry as much as you can. There is not really room for choice between DPS secondaries when you do that, and you'll generally end up with crit, det, and SkS, but no focus on one stat in particular. If we COULD choose tho, I'd say go crit. It has become really powerful with 3.0 since now it doesn't just increase your crit rate but also your crit multiplier at the same time. Which means that you crit more often and HARDER with this stat. SkS is quite good now with the DoT bonus but it still suffers from the same problem with TP burning. Not worth stacking IMO.
