BZ Zerg Build Questions

Hmm, if that's the case, does KC demonstrate some similar quirky distribution?

KC is kind of.. unique. since it's one of only two weapons that attacks 2-8 times.

but I believe the proc rate peaks around 3-5 swings and tails off significantly at higher numbers.

I remember an old test that came up with 'about 4 swings a round' but it was before anyone really got serious about multihits since there were only three of them around (KC, ridill, joyeuse)

You mean as opposed to being 75? A bit better than MKris. You can still get 19% haste (Dusk +1 and Speed Belt, 15% without) at 72 DRK with /DRG, so it's pretty damn good. You're missing a lot of HP, but the hit count will put it as the #2 zerg weapon easily.

Actually, you can get 21% with Dusk +1 and Speed Belt.

How do you get 21% without being 75 and use homam?

How do you get 21% without being 75 and use homam?

wyvern earring & targe 6%
Patroclus' helm 2%
dusk +1 hands 4%
dusk +1 feet 3%
speed/v belt 6%

is 21%. 22% with blitz ring

that's how i figured it

Edit: And yeah, Blitz Ring, but didn't figure that was worth mentioning. I might be wrong though.

Edit2: Also, feel free to nitpick the setup.

Ah forgot P.Helm

I got 44 attack rounds off last Dlord w/ BZ.

[Nameless]

wow, is that in 60 sec or 30 sec?

[kayn]

Well, I'd say somewhere between. Probably close to 50ish.

[Nameless]

44 attack rounds should result in about 70+ hits? Or do you mean swings.

I'm a 72 octave club dark knight. For those non die hard drk's that want to do massive amounts of damage for basically free. Get an oclub and level or delevel to 72. Results are amazing i'd say. Gear options arent that bad either.

as galka- i have roughly 1800 hp. drk/mnk

here's my gear set that i currently use to zerg. lol@chivchain

Why not /DRG?

Fucking edits: Also, do you have any parses? Still working on my DRK leveling, and I've been kind of worried, if I've got enough accuracy against big stuff.

[jfive]

Leveling DRG sub when I have free time. It's too bad that jump and high jump don't stack with Blood weapon, I would have 37DRG already if it did. While I was leveling DRK I had a merc kris and had some massive 800-1000 jumps with it. But it zerg situations the first 30 seconds is good. Then BW wears off and you do a mediocre jump/high jump because your HP is at 800 or so. Worth it? I thought about stacking haste. But without feint you dont really hit that much seeing as 72 DRK has only 214 skill or so. So I stacked HP and /MNK. Monk's HP and Focus. When I get 36DRG I'll experiment alittle more... Sucks I sold my Wyvern Targe.

[Massimo]

I'd probably be getting double SV Mad and double SV March, when zerking, coupled with Feint.
Was hoping to be able to eat HP food, but I'm not so sure if it's going to be possible.

No clue as to what your accuracy% was with that gear? Also, what songs do you get?

[jfive]

I have parses as well. I'm believing on 30 second fights that its more technique. I've beaten our kclub drk before- He spent time drain 2ing and such while i went in. Earlier this week we had 4 k/oclubs on JoL and raped it pretty fast.

Havent updated my LJ in a bit but theres some shots of me leveling it up and such

Mostly zerg fights that I've been in are KV and BV2. and its insta-rape.
BV2 we get 6 SV songs. 2mad 2 march 2 minuet... all 3 parties

KV. will be lucky to get 2 marches. (2 marches is usually what we ask for) but alot of times we dont get hasted... practically beg for haste. and Feint is up on all zerg fights. I have carbonera on me, but I eat sushi... just in case.

[Massimo]

Yeah, I have 2 friends who are 72 OctaveDRKs also, and we've gotten some nice numbers just fucking around, but haven't gotten around to try it on anything worth shit yet.

And thanks for your answers, it helped. Some parses would be great though, if you have them, cause I'm curious.

Also I had another thought. If there's a monk willing to merit Mantra, it should give more than the numbers you could pull off as 72DRK, on Drain II.

Has anyone put all the ideal gear setups for each weapon in one comprehensive post yet? that would be really cool...

it varies based on what you're fighting to a small extent (may or may not need more accuracy with some sets depending; even with stuff like feint)

I had this before the haste cap, I'm planning on redoing it (maybe this weekend since there seems to be a lot of interest), but the cap made me /angry and I haven't gotten around to it yet. Also Ruke did a pretty good summary of it the day the haste cap came out, so there isn't a whole lot to add to that.

Leveling DRG sub when I have free time. It's too bad that jump and high jump don't stack with Blood weapon, I would have 37DRG already if it did.

You better start leveling that SJ then, because jump and high jump DO stack with SE+BW, unless it was ninja nerfed.
