    DRK stats and accesoires - What to aim for?

    Hi I'm a DRK and I have gotten the whole left side+weapon in i200 but now i'm wondering what accesoires to get.

    Can somebody give me a general direction of what I should aim for?Especially HP wise.

    Thanks

    Vit>str>crit>det>ss avoid parry if you can. Str and vit both give .45 ap so lean towarda vit because of the hp.

    HP Thresholds for gearing purposes aren't nearly as relevant anymore as you aren't really harmed by pursuing as much HP as possible. There are some rare cases where wearing a Slaying accessory instead of Fending can be more DPS but it's an infinitesimal increase for a hit of about 1000 max HP. The DPS increase is generally too small to be worth it in these cases.

    As for secondaries, the frontal Accuracy cap for M4S is reported to be ~705, give or take one or two. It's not a problem in the slightest to reach this cap. The general Tank Goal is to avoid Parry, and a build such as this will hit 711 Accuracy without food. Pretty much perfect.

    Regarding other stats, the standard Crit>Det>SS dichotomy currently applies. For Dark Knight specifically, however, I do hear that there's an amount of Skill Speed that they like to have in order to minimize clipping on Scourge. I don't know the ideal number for this, so I'll defer to the more experienced DRKs who will undoubtedly arrive to help out.

    when it comes to rings should I use 1 str 1 vit or have the 2nd ring be a different (lower ilvl) vit one?

    Different lower level Vit ring is fine. i240 Slaying rings have 5 less Strength than i240 Vit Rings this is roughly the same gap between i230 and i220 vit rings.
