Increasing Damage Per Second (DPS)

[Sven Osymthe]

Not to go off topic, but I thought I would comment on one thing.

My "normal" practice for PvP, is to go to Devil's Anvil, Barbossa's grotto. By attacking Jack The Monkey, I can practice *MY* movement of holding down the "Q" and "D" keys. And switching to "A" and "E" keys.

Not sure if it would help, but I find the WASD keys to be much easier when fighting or PvPing. It makes it easier for me to get all of my combos in too, not sure if it would help, just felt like sharing.


Back on topic though, thank you for the information again. If I find any method that helps, i'll be sure to post it.

As of now I've been able to defeat Darkhart (among other bosses) rather quickly. I doubt I've done it as fast as either of you though, as our skills are set completely different.

Awesome advice mates, so I'll offer my own as well.

Darkhart is a 2 hit kill for me. One +5 Siege (notice I before E ecxept after C...), with which I also have +5 long volley, also increasing the damage.... not to mention +5 barrage... strengthening them further, then fast switch to blunderbuss (the siege itself usually does around 10k) and finish him with a +5 Take Aim, +5 Silver Shot from the blunderbuss.

Doesn't get any easier than that.

Just my 2 cents.


*Disclaimer, using the broadsword combo is also a quick way to bring him down , especially if you don't want to go running into the Ammo shop all the time to buy more siege (again, I before E except after C... sorry for the grammar patrol, it's just a pet peeve, hehe).

See ya out there, guys.

Hehe.. and I believe it's DarkheArt, not Darkhart, mate.

But thanks for the info.

As for siege (YAY! I did it right! err, I mean correctly), please take into account the time you have to spend getting more, as a person using weapons that don't have to be reloaded/replaced get to keep fighting while you are buying more grenades.

Great information all around on this thread--it has certainly become far more user friendly and informational than I ever expected/intended it to be. I really do appreciate your comments on this.

Also, don't forget that Broadswords have an areea of attack that cutlasses don't--the probability to hit even a PVP opponent is amplified with a broadsword because you only need to be NEAR, you do not have to have them targetted.

Thanks. IDK about anyone else, but I specificially said I wasn't using the siege glitch. (Any damage over 5k, and you are fast switching into the siege glitch.) I do know there were several ways to do it, but anyhow, I was talking about specifically taking the time to make sure I didn't glitch, nor fast switch.

Normally, like SOS, I take him down faster. Just can't help myself. But for the numeric analysis here, I was being careful to avoid that.

"Darkhart" still fails for speed chat, while "Dark heart" gets through.
