Is the selindrile Lua going to screw up my existing Lua folder for my other jobs? From his directions it seems like I’m replacing a lot of stuff. Normally I would just copy all the lines in an existing Lua, paste it in notepad, save it as a Lua and then it would run.

I used Selindrile's Lua when I first started using gearswap, basically set up my first job on it and decided I didn't like the way he did it. I know a lot of ppl like his stuff, and from my understanding it's a commitment, generally switch all your Luas to his. If you want something with some options but still kind of simple, Alan Warren has a good one, even more simple to setup and easy to use, but updated is from Arislan

Not an expert but should be able to use old Lua as well. Can ask on Selindrile discord for help.

I havent played for basically a year now, they are outdated already. However it is a good starting idea still but know nyame/sakpata basically is all you need now outside of the ja gear and some nich pieces from my understanding.

I would however like to update these sets, I don't have the knowledge/time to crunch numbers now though so if any drks want to do that I will update the gear sets with it.

I never knew this, but apparently the Auspice spell overwrites the Endark effect and vice versa? So as a DRK, if you cast Endark II, and then a WHM casts Auspice, you would lose the attack buff.

This works the other way too, so casting Endark over Auspice would lose you the Subtle Blow+10. I've been looking through this thread and saw some taking Auspice in to account when making their SB sets.

Endark and Auspice have equal priority, so they overwrite each other.

Endark II has higher priority and cannot be overwritten by Auspice.

That's great to know. I think there should be a note for that on BGwiki, because it does not say otherwise.

Normally when going for SB builds DRK won't use endark to get the 25SB from auspice.

With that said just have more then one set for if auspice is up or not.

What do people think of Asklepian Belt vs. Carrier's Sash? Before we got Sakpata, I reckon the magic evasion was more beneficial than it is now.

Sash just so you have that all ele resist since you need atleast 1 to hit the last resist tier

Thanks, I had a feeling I'd read this somewhere but couldn't remember where.

If receiving Bar-X = Asklepian Belt.
Else if not receiving Bar-X = Carrier's Sash.

Would depend how much over cap you are but I normally use Body/Legs/ammo for PDL when attack capped.

For insurgency, say attack uncapped, what are people using and do you spam at 1k or hold to 1750?

Someone can correct me but even atk uncapped if your acc isnt in question aug'd sakpata is the way to go due to the 55~65 atk on every piece, assuming 1k~ spam anyway. As to which is better i thiiink effective 2250~2500 was the sweet spot but ahain, someone can correct me if that's incorrect

I mean it just depends on the ws and the content tbh. Wsdmg is still great so people need to just watch how they mix the sets.

Always forget nyame has a glob of DA built in to its ws path, previously it was better to stack MA on pre-2k insurg due to the fantastic .5 ftp on the 1st hit and 1.0 the rest not accounting for mythic boost. With nyame's mix idk if that pulls ahead or not from straight DA provided from sakpata, at PDL cap it gets a bit mixed i agree

For Insurgency and reso it should be full sakpata tbh it replaces argoys for entropy its 4 piece Sakpata and nyame boots.

Assuming you're using Liberator, you never want to build Insurgency for multi-attack because AM3 nerfs MA into the ground. You always want to use a WSDMG set and build to 1750+ TP.

If at attack cap you should swap some (not all) of your WSDMG to PDL.

For Insurgency it's 4/5 Sakpata and Nyame Feet only at like 1500 effective TP, which you shouldn't be doing anyway. At around 2000+ effective TP you should be using Nyame Feet, Hands and Head with Sakpata Body and Legs. That's for capped attack. For uncapped it's 5/5 Nyame always. (Based on sheet)

Yea I get way better results with sakpata than nyame but again to each its own. Only time I ws at 2k+ tp is multihit procs from am3. I'll do more testing but I legit can't trust almost anyone sheet rather see numbers in real events.
