Sharding Endgame

Hello fellow fishies,


I know I'm far from endgame but I think it's a good idea to plan ahead. I have this character on the same account as my archer, who already has 4 pieces of tt99, lunar cape, and warsoul helmet all refined to at least +5. Once 2x gets I will manufacture nirvana second recast pants and tt99 boots (been saving for a while).
I had planned for my archer to be fully sharded with DoTs to maximize fire power since she can kill most things before they get to her. As a sin however, the distance buffer that keeps the archer relatively safe is non existent. My question is, is it worth it to sacrifice HP for damage? I haven't come across a sin with a fully sharded DoT armor.

I understand that a higher attack level means more out of BP but will it be enough to keep me alive? xD

I need to sell the DoT's I have banked before they drop in price too much b:surrender

    Somehow it looks like it started as a question about DoT vs Primeval/Savant, then turned into a bragging story and ended up in "Primeval/Savant is better, I guess".
    I am Olba. Not Ol, not Baze nor Blaze. And even less would I go by Olblaze. Please, take a second to read a person's username.
    If you see b:cute be sure to take a second, calm look at anything I said.

    Wow I log on forums to ask for advice and I get insulted...

    It was not my intention to brag, I'm sorry if it came across that way. I know my gear is not the best and I don't consider it the best. I simply was giving information I thought was relevant to the question. b:shocked

    see this part? this is not of our concern.

    this part? its irrelevant, dear.

    no, you shouldnt.

    Mmmm you see, I simply brought that information up because I see a difference in putting a DoT in say a 3 star as opposed to tt99 or nirvana. The whole point of bringing up my archer was because both characters share the armor so I was looking for an opinion on what is best for both (maybe I should have said so clearly in the original post). Again, I did not mean to sound snobbish or to boast about my stuff :(
    I'll just shut up now and mess with pwcalc b:bye

    I'd think a better question overall is whats a good balance between Phys Def\HP\Dmg endgame with that gear. Which really moves the question to intent as well. You planning on PVP or PVE?
    With good -int your going to end up being the tank in PVE more often than not, so a good balance is probably what will work best.
    Just doing world PK? DoT!!
