If the profile part is what you're talking about then it only puts the 80 on your profile as an achievement, you cant get achievements for having more caladbolg sadly D:

there was a dmg calc around the forums that also might prove interseting to check out builds with, think ark pointed it out, an i believe it showed a 7hit beating a 6hit but dont quote me on it, been ahwile since i toyed with it


and totally off topic here, but does anyone know how to get my 90cala to show up? my ls and i have a bunch of emps that arent showing on any of our profiles and we are totally stumped on how to fix this.....

just type the item ID instead of the name when making sets

If you cant afford White tat, then use Attila's over Bale Earring until you can get one, will push you into a 7-hit, but you will need to WS in Rajas.
Can do but is that better than me using Rose Strap?

Sorry for the super delayed response..

Yes it is.

2% DA >>>> 4 STR and 8 Attack.

Potential Scourge hands? Depends on how high the caps go really, and we don't know much about a decent number of the Ein abjurations (Shadow Gauntlets included) due to how rare tatters are.

Even then, could just try for CHR+5 Armada Mufflers =\

Well I do have Snow Belt, but I only have Light Gorget. Says on the wiki it works w/ Light Gorget; on the Light Belt it does not. So I am guessing no one included it in the Wiki page. I don't really trust the wiki, so I figured I would ask here.

AF3 Body/Hat Goading Belt/Blitz Ring.

I have 3 TP sets I currently use right now for DRK.

Abyssea TP:


High ACC Build for Voidwatch:


High ACC Build with Marches and Last Resort:

You only need 17% haste in Gear during Last Resort if you have Marches.

Torcleaver LR Down:


Torcleaver LR Up:


Also worth noting that for higher Tier NMs you are better off focusing on Attack than you are VIT.

Stick to your E:body build until you finish up your Af3hat/body, after that start using those over E:body/Zelus.

Also stay away from Tactical mantle, I assume you are trying to 6-hit? When I plugged it into motens spreadsheet the 7-hit actually won over the 6-hit, you give up way too much gear to make the 6-hit beneficial towards your build. Also with 25% Triple attack theres a decent chance you are getting TP overflow quite a bit making the 6-hit kind of moot.

Theres also no reason for you to be using an AM set, Caladbolg DRKs don't have that luxary, the reason why apoc drks do it is because they get 10% haste for their aftermath making it so they can swap out the necessary gear when aftermath is up.

The best you can do if you want to swap out gear is change gear during Last Resort if you are recieving 2x march, You only need 17% haste in gear during LR with Marches. But even then theres not really any good pieces you can swap out with the gear that you would be using inside of abyssea.

Grim >>>> Twilight

Chances are on higher Tier NMs you arent capping attack, for fodder mobs you could get away with Twilight.

I'd recommend byrnie +1 if you lack Ares/Shadow Breasteplate though, would be your best bet for Torcleaver bodies.

@Gradd

Am I missing something obvious in regard to your TC hands? Bale+2 are better in Abyssea, Heafoc are better outside.

Ah. They'd have to have a pretty hefty VIT augment to beat Heafoc outside, though. 13 STR is a pretty big deal, even on a VIT-modded WS.

You can get up to 6 VIT on Armada Mufflers makes them the best possible torcleaver hands inside, outside Heafoc wins yea, I normally post my outside set too but ugh /lazy posted these sets so many times on the drk forums x:
