Liberator has always been an amazing weapon. It is by far Dark Knight's fastest weapon for raw TP gain, its top notch in landing a huge variety of spells, and as of the September 2018 version update, a contender for the top spot in Dark Knight's most damaging weapon overall.

What makes Liberator so good?

Mythic Aftermath

You need an AM3 TP set.

To actually create a 3hit AM3 build, you need loads of store TP.

Thats a lot about AM3, now what about putting it to use?

Weapon Skills

Neat things you can do with a Liberator that are not spamming Insurgency

Got any crazy/silly/off-meta things you do with your Liberator? Let me know so I can add them to the list!

Neat things you can do with a Liberator that are in fact spamming Insurgency

That's all I can think of at the moment, please let me know what I can improve in this guide.

This guide is still under construction, please have patience!

/Edit
Finished editing for now, everything should be there and formatted properly. Let me know if there's something I missed.

Please someone include a Lua (or just the code?) That allows me to have my am3 set auto equip when up and down instead of my having to use a toggle like I do. Thanks and if you're on asura I'll mail you a cookie for it!

Ratri+1 legs for TP (stp10) and WS will come out on top. Easy to toggle too if the DT+ is an issue. The extra HP makes them pretty safe for most content where AOE is the the main damage source.

Nicely done, Mims! I remember doing some stuff with you on DRK using Lib and it was super impressive to see in action.

This is a great guide for me because I never played at a time when mythic 2-handers were king. I played Zilart then didnā€™t come back till RoV. So itā€™s nice to see the reasoning and a bit of math behind AM3 sets, thanks Mims.

Use auto exec to automatically trigger upon gaining buff and when losing buff.
I will look into that tonight, thank you!

Nice guide!

I noticed a small typo in the Insurgency section. "Its stat mods are 20% Str and 20% Dex" should be STR/INT.

I would share my Lua, but I use a setup that interfaces with windower macros in a way that requires a ton of added complexity and extra files. You aren't the only one who has asked for this though! I talked to an LS member of mine and put together this script segment
Code
-- AM3 Down Set --
sets.TP.Liberator = {}

-- AM3 Up Set --
sets.TP.Liberator.AM3 = set_combine(sets.TP.Liberator,{})

-- AM3 Logic --
if buffactive["Aftermath: Lv.3"] and equipSet["AM3"] then
            equipSet = equipSet["AM3"]
        end

If you are using a Lua based off one of Bokura's that uses equipSet I *hope* this helps.

You can always pop your lua on here and i'm sure lots of people would be willing to help get it working for u.

I have a manual set at the moment in this Lua for when AM is up but would love to have it auto. It's an edited verision of Bokura's that i got off these forums. Any help would be appreciated.

Been a long time since I invested a lot of time and gil into DRK but decided that is my next goal. This 2k lines lua ahaha, reminds me of back in the days where we even had the legendary freaaaakin 8k lines spellcast file for the job. 2k is a freakin lot, but trying to look bright at it: at least not SC days. xD

Thx Arnan for some reason I could incorporate the logic from your lua into mine and it works but ballzackā€™s wouldnt. Works like a charm now thx!

So Arnan, your LUA ( https://pastebin.com/PXdCeVqu ), is it pretty much up to date? I see it says August 2018.

Is this all pretty much BiS gear for the class? A lot of LUAs are very outdated and I'm trying to endgame my DRK atm. Seems like a good gear guide tbh.

EDIT: Why Emicho over Argosy?

Emihco +1 hands and body are a great little combo for the TP set. With path B on both pieces they get an absurd quantity of accuracy.

Relevant stats (PathB)
Emicho haubert +1: Accuracy +57 Dex +41 Double Attack +5
Emicho gauntlets +1: Accuracy +57 Dex +46 Store TP +7
Set bonus between the two: Double Attack +4

And they have good defensive stats as well. The combo is a must for any high-accuracy TP set.
