Ff14 Drk Dmg How To Read Tooltips

DPS Gain discussed here Decent for the blind debuff in Dungeon runs, but only 10.

With the help of The Balance Discord server, We have a compendium on the information that is regularly disseminated therein, and give a general tips and tricks to utilizing Dark Knight.

While Dark Knight is somewhat easier to learn than most classes, it is fairly hard to master.

Additional Note HydratosEureka gearsets will not be supported for the BiS sets, as they are niche and not as common and we are nearing the echo-patch for Alphascape.

A good Eureka Weapon, and the 390 GlovesHeadFeet pentamelded will provide a small (10-30 DPS) increase, but the change will not be substantial enough for you to waste your time, should you not enjoy the content.

Utilize the Tank DPS Calculator to see what benefit the pieces may give you.

Keep up with progress at the contact information at the bottom of this guide.

Some topics will be addressed that will spread towards other avenues of play within FFXIV, but raiding will be the primary focus.

Tooltips and basic skill potencies will not be addressed unless mathematically necessary.

Ff14 Drk Dmg How To Read Tooltips

I expect anyone reading this guide to be able to understand how to read tooltips.

Potencies listed do not include slashing damage or Darkside modifier, to simplify the math therein.

Abyssal Drain, Dark Passenger, Unleash, Unmend, and Salted Earth are not affected by Slashing.

If youve played the class to 70, you should have a general idea of what to do.

Use all offensive OGCDs on cooldown (Plunge, Blood Weapon (BW), Delirium, DA CS, Salted Earth).

Delirium is not effectively used on Blood Price for single target.

Never allow either your Mana or Blood Gauge to cap out (9480 Mana, or 100 Blood respectively).

Prevent Mana capping by utilizing DA or TBN; Blood capping by using BS or Quietus, depending on single or AoE targeting.

For safety purposes, attempt to maintain mana above 4800 This will allow for one TBN usage for safetymitigation, a DA, or using Grit, if necessary (1200 required for Grit).

If unsure about proper manipulation of TBN, save it for Tank Busters or hard hitting AoE damage.

At starting gear of around i310-i320, TBN is a 9-10k shield that is very useful on both types of damage.

Dark Arts Priority Listing how to spend your mana Carve Spit (ensure you have 2400 mana for this every 1m) 350 potency Bloodspiller when in Grit 175 potency in grit, 140 potency out of grit Syphon Strike, Souleater, and Bloodspiller, and Plunge (equal priority, 140 potency gained on each ability) AoE Priority (3 targets) Unleash if targets are surrounding you, and unable to pick up with Abyssal Drain.

Delirium under Blood Price if an add pack will last the duration.

TBN for the shield, mana dump, and to enable DeliriumQuietus casts.

DA Quietus if using it would cause you to mana cap (480target hit).

Dark Passenger (DP) 2 targets, DADP ( 560 potency vs.

Weapon Skills) 3 targets, DADP if GCDs that would otherwise be spent on Abyssal, are replaced by Syphon Strike.
