PVP in DG is pretty cool, I particularily like the Duels gamemode with the new arena. I was just wondering what besides the obvious/most viable gear (Guide to Dark Gaming PvP) people use.
Personally, I try to not use whatever the most perfectly optimal gear is, which I think is Paladin’s Hammer, Daybreak, etc, but I still want to use good stuff, so right now I’m using mostly Eventide and Pulse Bow for a ranger loadout. For accessories, I use the “beetleeyepvp” loadout’s, but edited to replace Tabi and Fire Gauntlet with Flesh Knuckles and Stalker’s Quiver. Also solar flare armor of course.
Here’s a dumb photoshop I made that pretty much sums up my play, which you might have seen as my profile picture on Phase and Discord. It’s not optimal (as Beetle likes to point out last I checked) and I still get railed due to my own lack of skill, but it helps illustrate a pair of things that had been growing on me when I picked up PvP casually.
In isolation, Chlorophyte Headgear has better magic - oriented stats than Nebula Helmet. I play with 2/3 Solar armor, so I wouldn’t be reaping Nebula armor’s set bonus.
Sentries do indeed work! They don’t attack the conventional way, but instead they deal contact damage to anyone that touches them, as I’d know from the few times Playirime joined the server and played on PvP. When he did, he exclusively had a Sentry spam build and he was doing so well at it that he was getting hackused left and right.
It may have shorter range, but it also has splash damage from the stars exploding, can hit most places on its users’ screen, and most of all, its projectiles can travel through blocks.
noobs really just hackacusate anybody who can get consistent kills lol, also
stellar tune is bad when going aggresive and can be easily countered with good movement so i would recommend using aqua scepter instead of stellar tune most of the time
Huntress’s Jerkin is better than Vortex Breastplate and Chlorophyte Helmet is just Vortex Helmet with less defense, you can check my guide if you want good hybrid kits.
Right now I rely on the solar shield to dash (I replaced it with more defense) so if I were to change this, I would have to get a Tabi, which I suppose is okay. I also would lose about 20 -30 defense (I didn’t do the math)… when I tried out Solysis’ suggestion I did about 20% more damage, but died way faster, so maybe I could reforge all my accessories to Warding or something?
