Resolution killed Caladbolg, some people just keep jumping on the corpse listening for a breath.

Check out the watchermnk file, there is a 99 Cala spamming Torcleavor. Much more impressive then one would think when attack is capped.
I can't see your parses, is there another link? How can I do it?

Far from a crap WS like its made out to be. Ofcourse DRK isn't that great when it comes to PW in the first place.

I really don't think you make 17 mil in a week just farming, HMP, alexandrites. There's also a lot of luck played into that. Numbers from Farming Xarc on BST/DNC solo:
150 currency (say 6,750 average per single) = 1,012,500 * 7 = 7,087,500
4 Forgotten Hope (Usually sell at 25k) = 100,000 * 7 = 700,000
So from 7 days of dynamis you've already made 7.7mil of that 17mil in a week and that's on the low end of Xarc. Assuming you can get camps in dreamlands then you can push numbers into 200 range for low end on BST/DNC solo.
Leaves plenty of time for other events or even traditional farming.
The problem is you're locked out of Dynamis as a money maker and that's what's slowing you down. Maybe you can do it on a mule.

Why is that ya reckon?
I want to start doing Dynamis again and I was thinking of Mandau but DNC can't use ; ;. So should I do Rag for my WAR? Making Rag exclusively for VW seems kinda silly like making it for Abyssea.

Salvage alone in 7 days should land you 9-18M a week , assuming you get 60-80 alex each SSR where the potential drop of a linel double up your profits

Ragnarock is always good for WAR, but its extremely potent anytime you use MS.
Check that same folder for some of the watcherwar files.

I want to thank everyone for the feedback. I think I'm going to go ahead and make the 85 empy GS, then upgrade it to 90. It sounds like ws damage may be a bit lower, but aftermath will more than make up for it.

Hoarfrost isnt in the top 3 GS but its still good.
Ragnarok > OAT > Caladbolg > Shiney GS from rex > Hoarfrost
How or where does Jingang and STR ToM great sword factor in all this?

For drk jingang will probably be after hoarfrost but for war its third best after rag and cala. Dunno about str path GS never really looked into it.

Another AH option would be Etourdissante +1 or the nq version. NQ costs much less than Jingang (at least on Odin) and offers a higher base damage, but lacks the favorable stat bonuses and delay Jingang has.

Wonder if it can beat OAT. I doubt it, but maybe. Not like it's easy to get ether. 2nd wave Hall of Mul...

Wtf at that latent effect lol

Think the latent is for Scarlet Delirium or is related to it.

I think people severely underestimate just how good Caladbolg 99 is, silly people.

It isn't that people underestimate Calad99, its the fact that 99Ragnarok is cheaper and better.

Personally I would bet on Calad being better, AM on it will hit harder than a crit from Rag and more often, something I don't think 2.5x damage makes up for.
Torcleaver itself is not a bad WS by any means, and Scourge blows.

Calad can only only really keep up AM3 in VW where there are Dusty Wings. Outside of that, with the 300 tp built up for AM3 on Calad, the Rag user just did 3 Resolutions. Accuracy also helps on harder stuff while Vit does next to nothing, and comparing Torcleaver to Scourge is silly, because the only time you use Scourge is for the Magian Trials.

I agree with you, without aftermath Ragnarok would beat Caladbolg but in a situation where you would have it up the whole fight (most zergs, VW, etc) I have a very hard time seeing Calad being beaten by anything.

But in a Zerg any respectable Ragnarok user should be on WAR using mighty strikes.

hummmm i havent been around the game for a long time some care to explain what OAT mean. yea u can laugh but still plz explain
I'm a new drk - just leveled it for Nyzul Isle V2. But I always remember being impressed with the aftermath of the empy GS in abby when I saw a dark that had one, he was swinging for 1k each when it proced. So - (without much research) I started on empy GS for drk. My plan was to use Torcleaver to activate the aftermath, then use resolution while its up.
In Voidwatch today, I got a hoarfrost blade - people said its one of the top 3 GS in the game?? better than eph.
I'm nearly done collecting all items for eph GS (have not turned any in yet). Would you recommend I finish eph GS for the aftermath - or use those items on a different eph such as gun for wildfire, and only use hoarfrost on DRK? Is hoarforst with resolution really better than an eph with aftermath?
