Define it at the beginning. For example, I use (alt + s) to stun which it's BIND is defined as:

send_command('bind !s input /ma "stun" <t>')

Twilight Gear toggle (on/off)
send_command('bind ^t gs c C3')
-- Alt + t --

! - alt
^ - ctl
@ - windows key
# - App

You could make a macro for these but I personally find it more useful to toggle spells, JAs, and my twilight gear etc this way.

edit: Commands for gearsets toggle may vary depending on gs.

While it is a boost, the effects are quite minor thanks to the delay after casting any spell. :(

So I've been regearing Drk and playing around with the spreadsheets trying to find out some optimal sets, thought I would throw them up here and see what people think and if I could change them some. So far I've worked on Fodder TP/Reso/Tor and Midacc TP. Fodder is done on spreadsheets against K. Raaz, midacc is done against Tojil.

Fodder TP:
ItemSet 326703

Midacc TP:
ItemSet 326768

Resolution Fodder:
ItemSet 326704

Torcleaver Fodder:
ItemSet 326705

All sets assume Elvaan DRK/SAM eating Red Curry Bun, with Ionis, and not getting Madrigal. EDIT: Xaddi Mail (A), Xaddi Gauntlets (C), Xaddi Cuisses (A), Otomi +2% Haste/8 STR, Ejekamal +2% Haste/8 STR, Cizin +1 +2% DA

I get this set as higher DPS on fodder:
ItemSet 326785

I get this set as higher DPS on Tojil:
ItemSet 326786

I get this set as higher damage for Torcleaver:
ItemSet 326793

You'll want to use Igno. Cuirass +1 instead of Phorcys Korazin on Resolution.

I couldn't get Ejekmal Boots to beat Xaddi Boots for fodder, although the difference was almost nothing. You're right about Xaddi Body though, I was comparing it based on path B since that is what I have but Path A definitely beats Pak+1 which makes me happy. Mala does indeed win for Torcleaver I didn't even try it, but I couldn't make Caudata better.

The Tojil set does seem to be better than what I posted though, thanks for the reply.

Hmm. What buffs are you using? Did you edit the gear sets to include the augmented stats for Ejekamal? I get Xaddi Boots (C) as 8 DPS behind.

I edited my post with an updated Torcleaver set as well. I get Tjukurrpa Medal & Caudata Belt beating Light Gorget/Belt by 90 damage. Tjukurrpa is tied with Ganesha's on Kamihr Raaz but pulls ahead on Tojil.

Please let me know if you're seeing the same thing. I want to find ideal sets and think independent verification is important.

Yeah I did edit Ejekmal for the augment. Stats are Hume, /war, RCB, LR, Ionis, Haste, Marchx2 (+4), Minx1, against Kamihr Raaz with Dia, so different than yours for sure but that's what I tend to use for fodder sets.

Edit: Getting Mala > Gorget > Medal

As a side note, I saw in another thread people talking about using Scourge for light after the WS buff patch, is Scourge a better option to Torcleaver now? What would a good Scourge set look like?

Scourge is STR 40%/VIT 40% now, and gives +5% crit on the AM. It is vastly inferior to Torcleaver - even factoring in the aftermath and Ragnarok 99's +40% damage modifier.

If you need the ability to skillchain with Fudo, Victory Smite, CDC, etc. use Torcleaver; else use Resolution.

Ok! So I managed to throw together some TP sets for Rag and Apoc to go along with my WS sets. Let me know what you think. Apoc sets maintain a 5-hit, and Rag sets maintain a 6-hit /sam.

TP Sets

Ragnarok TP (Xaddi Path C)
ItemSet 326142

Ragnarok TP-ACC
ItemSet 326149

Ragnarok TP-HighACC (Xaddi Gauntlets C, Xaddi Cuisses A, Ejekamal Boots Haste + STR)
ItemSet 326305

Apocalypse TP (Xaddi Path A)
ItemSet 326152

Apocalypse TP-ACC (Xaddi Path A)
ItemSet 326155

Apocalypse TP-HighACC (Xaddi Gauntlets Path C, Xaddi Cuisses/Boots Path A)
ItemSet 326304

Apocalypse AM
(It's the same as the TP set to maintain 5-hit.. not sure what I could change without making it worse...also didn't put my acc sets for AM here)
ItemSet 326151

Weaponskill Sets for Apocalypse and Ragnarok

ItemSet 326132

Augments: Otomi has STR+8. Moonshade has attack/TP bonus. Mikinaak is Path A.

-----------------------------

ItemSet 326131

Augments: Otomi has STR+8. Moonshade has attack/TP bonus. Mikinaak is Path A.

Accuracy Set
ItemSet 326137

Do these sets still apply after the WS update or are they now out of date?

These are recent. But I'm unsure if anyone has found better sets or not.

Same sort of deal as Tunglmyrkvi. Lack of skill = lack of acc in situations where you really need it.

I'd love to see some numbers on how the absorb potency is though.

But Mala is nigh impossible to get for anybody who didn't get it in VW era...dead servers = big sad DRKs
