Yearly Gear Update
I made a gear progression post exactly a year ago, so I figured I'd do an update. The server currently has +1 AP DP buff from the blessing of the morning.
I just hit 390 AP and did the Cartian boss for the first time. I'd say she's the easiest Edanian boss so far, as Jordine and Rusalka take too much time, and I find Enslar to be slightly buggy.
As for PVE, I mainly grind at Zephyros with the Edania lightstone set to reach the AP cap. With the buffs and EdaniaDPS crystal set, I get up to 2021 monster AP (18AP from dark nebula and 30AP from rage spirit legacy as well). Since the cap is 2010, I'll experiment with the VShadow set and compare the trash/hr. For reference, I get about 29-30K trash/hr with Agris and lv 2 loot scroll. I'll try other spots like Sycraia and Star's End as well since I meet the AP caps.
Also, I'm 79/80 pity for the vell's heart, so I'll be getting that upgrade next week finally (fml). Feel free to comment or leave a question about my crystals, lightstone setup, my buff rotation, or anything really. For your reference, the crystal sets are from Jonlaw, a well-respected fellow DK main content creator.
