(Don't) Fear the Reaper: A Dark Knight Guide
Yeah, but the relative impact of each point of STP is different for each set, so whether it was R0 or R20 would still make a difference in the comparison between the sets.

True, but I just used his set with R0 gloves vs 5/5 R0 Sakpata, then his set with R20 gloves and 5/5 R20 Sakpata, so there was never a situation of difference on hands :)
Hello, apologies if this has been asked a million times before but all the Dark Knight resources seem to be out of date.
I have a friend who is new to the game, but is approaching 99 on DRK pretty fast. I know nothing about DRK, So what would be the best weapon for use for DRK now? for both GS and Scythe?
A link to any updated resources would also be appreciated.

cost-effectiveness and speed wise, though this varies on pulse supply/cost is the ambu gaxe is great while you work towards a rema scythe or calad.
Far as what scythe/gs to use before any rema, believe montate+1 is still one of the better and easier to get GS while with scythe you can start with the ruann one and work up towards raetic, though in both cases if you can grab the odyssey weapons those will likely be the overall better choices

Thank you! what about the REMA hierachy for the job?
Apoc always has a place in the arsenal due to Cata, where you place that just depends on your own playstyle. Far as raw dmg goes R15 liberator is the way to go, though anguta/redemption arent that far behind either, cant really go wrong with any of the three.
Calad's basically in its own league since there isnt really any other GS options for drk aside from ragnarok, and rags just not all that great outside of the tiny niche of a fusion WS that you could just use a different weapon for.

That's great. Sounds like he should go for Apoc first then since it's the chepest and easily obtainable from those and then work his way towards a Calad. thanks for the help, appreciate it!

If your friend can get their hands on a pulse weapon, I highly recommend starting with the Ambuscade Great Axe, Lycurgos.
https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/35174/dont-fear-the-reaper-a-dark-knight-guide/188/#3534564
Have your friend focus on playing with Lycurgos as best they can. Since its TP bonus effect is based around current and max HP, it encourages good Drain habits, not just for defense, but for offense as well.
As far as non-REMA Scythe and Great Sword weapons go, I still recommend pairing whatever ilvl 119 scythe your friend can find with a raetic algol +1. Don't worry about optimizing scythe damage at the start, the objective is to have a point into Entropy, and to use the scythe to refill MP. Damage will come from spamming Torcleaver with Raetic. This is something of a challenging play style for a new player, constantly draining your MP and switching weapons to refill the MP tank, but it is FUN. And ideally your friend will have been playing with Lycurgos long enough to get the fundamentals down at this point, as they will need 550 JP to equip Raetic.
As far as other weapons go, montante +1 is really strong, but I think raetic algol +1 is more fun to use. For a new player I would prioritize getting more enjoyment out of learning the job before focusing on raw numbers.
As far as starting REMA weapons go, the two weapons to point a newbie towards are Apocalypse and Caladbolg. Which to do first depends on what the player wants to focus on. Apocalypse opens up new worlds of survivability and utility that Dark Knight does not get from any other weapon. Caladbolg on the other hand is a damage machine that is easy (perhaps too easy) to get top-notch damage out of.
As far as the other REMA, don't worry your friend about them until both Apoc and Calad are done. If they have followed my advice up to this point they are certainly no longer newbie Drks and can choose to explore the other options as they like.

Anyone using the oddysea gear in there scythe ws sets
Kinda what what odyssey gear is best for tp and WS, I do. Have access to the sakpata set, but wondering what upgraded unity gear and best sakpata gear to use is. Is there updated sets someone anyone can point me to for reference? Just have an Apoc and Rag for now, gonna be starting on Calad and Lib in the coming weeks.
Hey guys I have a question about Ambu Scythe, is it worth it in any way? I was thinking about eventually getting one just for /lockstyle. Drepanum looks cool af
far as drk itself goes, decent hold over til rema I guess and it makes a nice SoD weapon if no anguta, might even be better than it, sides that its novelty, drk wise. Pretty good for WAR

If you need a weapon to actually use I'd do great axe, axe, or sword first, since each of those can do well on both dark knight as well as having use other jobs. Scythe is kinda-sorta ok on warrior but that's about it (I do have one but I had a ton of pulse weapons).

I'd agree. Ambu Scythe would be a solid holdover until a better option, but the Ambu Gaxe will do that and stay in your arsenal for unique situations even if you build every RMEA for DRK. And that's not even contemplating usage on other jobs.

What's DRK's best option (weapon/WS) in something like Divergence San d'Oria against the blue eyed statues?

What's DRK's best option (weapon/WS) in something like Divergence San d'Oria against the blue eyed statues?
Probably Anguta and Shadow of Death.
Looking for some advice on Dynamis D. More specifically, the ACC requirements for each wave.
Tonight in Windy I noticed I was parsing decent damage-wise but my ACC was ***most of the run (around ~76%) using sublime sushi +1.
For W1, I use my normal 6 hit GS (Calad) TP set which looks something like this:
ACC (w/o food): 1096
____
For my 5 hit scythe (Apoc) set it's something like this:
ACC: 1157
___
On wave 2, I generally keep the same TP gear unless fighting a THF mob with evasion bonuses in which case I use a bit more accuracy in this set:
ACC: 1189
____
On wave 3, it depends on the mobs and the buffs I have up. The volte NMs around the fetters seem to be quite evasive while the normal mobs aren't terrible. I usually swap over to either medium or high ACC sets for something like this:
ACC: 1246 (at the expense of survivability w/o Sakpata)
___
Any idea what ACC I should aim for for each wave? Given the taru boss is a thief job, what's his accuracy requirement?
Things I'm aware of: over the haste cap on some of these sets due to seething bomblet, lack of Utu grip kind of hurts, working towards Ioskeha Belt +1 to replace Kentarch, lack of AF+2 or +3 legs to synergize with the regal ring for bonus ACC. Outside of those areas, any ideas on where else to improve ACC?
Thanks for any help you can provide!

stuff
how was your group structured? did you have any support in your party? were there any rdms or geos with dedicated torpor?
Hello, currently looking to see what the best Greatsword would be thats not Caladbolg. Non-REMAs basically, I am going to work towards Caladbolg but its not high priority right now between both my characters. I use the Ambuscade GS currently but was thinking about the Odyssey one. I also know that with the augments Montante+1 is very good. Any advice? Thanks

That's some of the information I'd like to gather regarding other DRKs and how their raids structure buffs based on wave #.
We had a GEOx1, RDMx1, BRDx2 (one of them not in DPS party), and CORx2 (one of them not in DPS party). AFAIK, the RDM was using distract 3 on wave 3 mobs. We had the GEO use torpor when we realized how evasive some of the volte NMs are (like the volte twirler). I'm pretty sure the corsairs were using hunter's and either chaos or sam roll as well. I do not remember what the bard was using but probably minuet/march.
This was our first attempt past wave 2. If you have advice on which raid buffs you recommend for each support, I'm all ears and would appreciate it.
with a brd using x2 madrigal, rdm landing distracts and a geo using torpor, ~1200 without food seems to be my sweet spot.
as for buffs, i typically run: madrigal, dirge and x2 march | sam's roll + chaos/wizard's (if i'm a solo cor) until w2 boss. after that it's maintain 5 songs through w3 with x2 march, dirge, x2 madrigal.

I would start with either a montante +1 or a raetic algol +1. If you play Warrior as well as Dark Knight go with Montante, if you play Dark Knight exclusively get Raetic. Either one is great while you work on a Caladbolg. I'm a big fan of Raetic for two reasons:
1) Its tons of fun to use and pairs well with Scythe and Entropy
2) You can sell it when you are done with it
Agwu's claymore isn't bad either, and may be your best option for a "Just buy this now" sort of thing if either the AH doesnt have Raetic or you don't have 550 JP and need something immediately.
Don't make the Ambuscade Great Sword. Either use the pulse weapon to make Lycurgos or keep it around to use on a different job.
Finally, Ragnarok, the other REMA.
Don't make a Rag until you already have an R15 Caladbolg and are certain you will need a 269 skill great sword with an extra 75 accuracy. I love my Rag and I get plenty of use out of it, but it is a high accuracy piece only.

I consider 1200 accuracy in gear, without food or buffs as my baseline for low accuracy. That is using a 269 skill weapon with no accuracy bonus on it, ie Caladbolg. With that as my baseline, I cap accuracy in Dyna wave1 with Honor March and attack food.
Total accuracy requirement by /checkparam should be 1300 or less for wave1.
Wave2 requirements go up and I'm generally either using acc or hybrid food and my low accuracy gear, or I'm using mid-higher acc gear and attack food. I think I'm generally around 1420 accuracy by /checkparam for wave2.
Wave 3 Volte accuracy requirements go up a lot. We generally do a big SV song rotation before we crush the wave2 boss which lets me ride low accuracy gear for the first ~8 minutes of wave 3, but after that the high accuracy gear goes on. I really fiddle with gear sets during wave3, but in general my accuracy target is 1700-1720 for wave3 volte mobs. Depending on buffs I'm often using Ragnarok to cap accuracy, Apocalypse is great too. Below 1700 accuracy I certainly notice DDs suffering.
As for the wave3 boss, I'm not sure what it's evasion is, but it's low enough that I'm free to use low accuracy set and weapon.
/edit
For reference, with a 269 skill weapon with 0 accuracy on it, I consider:
1200 accuracy for low accuracy
1250 for mid accuracy
1300 for high accuracy
There is also Zantetsuken for DRK.
3 biggest suggestions for successful Dyna-D DD'ing I could think of:
1. Bring a RDM. All the tools they have are a massive advantage in DPS, safety, and speed. And let them be free to be an enhancing/enfeebling/melee RDM if they can handle it, don't pink 'em up by making them main heal a party and expect much more than Dia.
2. The highest evasion mobs in all of Dyna-D are the wave 3 Volte NMs for THF, DNC, and NIN. Embrace some bubble changes there to compensate. Speaking on bubbles, each party should have their own GEO. It just simplifies matters- its not necessary- but why make things harder on your group if you have the numbers. Not saying everyone is running 18 man Dyna-D....but if someone is asking about acc difficulties in there I'm not jumping to they low-man wave3 just yet.
3. Don't be afraid to reduce your attack buffs in lieu of accuracy as your group advances in the waves. There's no shame in riding Honor March and a Madrigal or two if that's what your group needs to hit 90%+ accuracy across the board. Yes, sets need to be quality, but there are just some points in that last wave where even the best laid plans need a boost. The biggest problems I've seen with Volte mobs in wave3 happen when they just live too long due to bad accuracy, and multiple TP moves start to happen.
Enjoy it! Its still in my book the best test of gear sets for DDs in the game- nothing I do in Odyssey requires near the level of accuracy, making finding that balance of acc/dps/DT so much easier to find than most wave3 experiences I've had.

Make sure your rdm pays attention to wild card and benediction in wave 3 since they can remove all debuffs. Try to kill mobs in an order that makes sense in regards to this. Don't try to kill the cor or whm first after a bunch of debuffs have been landed, and make sure they keep the whm silenced so it doesn't erase or na the other mobs. Distract is absolutely huge and if you don't bring a quality rdm you're gonna have a bad time.

Any macro palette layouts posted anywhere [with /sam sub]. Looking to get a sense of what folks use most often on the go - thanks.
