dSI and dSE gloves

How high of priority should gloves with decent speed infusion and decent sharp eyes be? I've got about 850k range without hypers with most of my gear at unique and I'm just missing a tyrant belt, not sure if I should save up for expensive dsi/dse gloves, make my own, or upgrade other things first

oh, sorry for not being clear enough, i didn't mean that it was limited to being useful only when a boss is above 50% HP. yes, dSE helps 100% of the boss if you don't cap.

@wall: wait what? without? why wouldn't it be useful if you didn't cap?

you can fill the slot pretty well with top 50 gloves. For free. If you're one of those people with under a 6 minute time, then at that time I'd start to consider it.[/quote]

Welp, time to make some DSI gloves... T_T

@lunaracid You can have my DSE gloves once I finish my DSI+DSE gloves, just shoot me a psok Lauren

if you don't want to prioritize them, just wait until miracle time. dSE/dSI gloves are one of those things that can really be upgraded at any time. i'd say dSE and dSI are both pretty standard essentials when it comes to choosing decents. i currently have all the decents except for haste mainly because those are the only buffs that actually give us range. dSE is useful in any situation a boss is above 50% HP, and dSI is pretty much useful 100% of the time. it's good to have it but it's not the end of the world if you don't have it.

You can get the dsi/dse gloves any time. You can make your own gloves via Epic/Unique Potential scroll + CUBING Lv 140 tradable pirate gloves, or buy Lv 120+ legendary potential pirate gloves in FM. Regardless of which method you take, it will be expensive so it should be one of your last investments.
Both skills are important for Shade.
1. Decent SE: +15% maximum critical damage. And the 10% critical rate is necessary for bosses/mobs over 50% HP. dSE helps stabilizes your damage against bosses with more than 50% HP since critical damage > non-critical damage
2. Decent SI: Always useful. Knuckles have a default attack speed of (5). Shade has a passive in 2nd job that makes the attack speed (4). Decent SI will increase this speed to (3). I highly recommend getting both dSE and dSI on the same gloves.
