DEX or INT for apoc DRK?
I first thought about INT for cata and entropy then DEX came into my mind. I can't decide, help me out.

I think neither?

Looks like you can shoe-horn in a few piece with high attack/STR and INT already on them, but certainly shouldn't just be stacking straight INT.

He meant merits.

I'm with Taint about DEX. Not just will it come in handy for many other jobs and Weapon Skills, but - on topic - it's free 12 DEX working on dDex full time. Can't hurt and with Adoulin around the corner, I'm sure that can't hurt having. No math, just the reasoning I'm going with.

Ok that's what i was thinking too. I'm going for DEX then. I could always change later after all.

Thank you for your replies guys.

Its also 9acc for 2handers. I would only do INT if BLM was my other main job.

I'm going full INT for Cata/Enropy personally, I can't really argue in favor of going DEX for DRK. If you are in a situation where you need ACC, pop Diabolic Eye. I wasn't hurting for DEX prior to the update (I doubt many DRKs were), but I was wanting extra INT for WS since it means more dmg, makes the most sense to merit if you love DRK in my opinion

I created a balance between Attack and INT(more on the + side).



It works for me.

Depends on what you plan on doing. If the Dex helps you with ACC at all it destroys INT, if ACC is capped INT wins.

can i ask you what you consider to be high level mobs?

im curious because i remember you stating in a prior thread that you should treat adl as fodder since its a high buff situation.


Just curious of the context of what in the current game is high level

edit: i assume legion but wondering what else

Provenance watcher and hall of Mul in Legion. This is where you tend to use Resolution too.

I'll end up doing DEX for sure, mainly due to having both BLU and WAR aswell.
If DRK was my only melee job, I'd honestly probably do INT(lots of mage-jobs aswell).

Fodder:
96lvl 435def 404eva 90agi 85vit

Mid:
110lvl 560def 470eva 110agi 115vit

High:
120lvl 500def 530eva 120agi 120vit

Thats what I used. Obviously mobs can get much stronger or weaker but you tend to have more buffs on the high end.
