Someone posted alot of really useful information on tattoos for BD that does alot of DDing/light tanking. Me and my 2 friends intend to go 2 Hawkeyes/my BD with a prophet buffer out of group. What tats will give me the best damage ratio without sacrificing too much?
If your tanking without VR get some CON, BD's con is disgusting low to be tanking with. With the archers they will be stealing agro from you, so you will have to spam your noobie hate skill and deal good damage to keep them on you. I think for tanking, you should leave your stats alone, wear doom heavy, or get a +con -dex tattoo. For DD'ing without care of hp/defense then nerf CON for STR or DEX, both if you wanna have insane low CON.
Don't worry about tats. With an out of party buff slave, 2 HE's and your dances... all you need to do is Dance, Dance, Dance, Pick up, Pick up, Pick up, rinse, repeat.
well if u are primarily going to that... i'd invest in a homu with acumen and dual sabers or good duals if u can afford both.
Then get +4 int -4 wit.
+3con -3 str
The reason being that with 2 HE and an out of party prophet u will not be hitting the mob too often... you should lead off with hex on each mob. (u got the homu to balance the negative cast speed) by the time most mobs get to you they will be dead... if you try and straight up fighting with 2 he you will prolly just be chasing the mob and never hitting it... you are best off spamming hex to get the agro then let the HE just kill it. you will feel kinda lazy just standing there, but that's fine... you need to mp regen anyway.
the +3 con is incase things get nasty u can start spamming hate on everything and ud while u pray the archers can kill fast enough.
