boss pot is useless, so either aim for att in main pot or PDR

Your %pdr is super low and your %boss does nothing for you. You need around 85% pdr, and all of a sudden, your damage will skyrocket.

Why? Realize that Dojo bosses have paper mache defenses. When you truly begin bossing, those guys have real defenses and that's why your damage is so low on them.

Read my comment on this thread. Your %boss does nothing for you.

You have way too much boss, I only had 260% boss (give or take around there when I was NL) and only one boss line on my two weapons (30% on my charm) and capped at cvell constantly.

Swap some boss lines for PDR, even if it doesn't look as pretty as having boss % lines.

@MrMoogle: Hard Magnus has 70% PDR. I believe you meant Chaos Vellum.

@Tekno: You only need about two more lines of 30%+ PDR, preferably on your Death Sender Charm or Emblem. With 67% PDR, one line of 30% brings it up to 76.9%. Another 30% brings it up to 83.83%. Don't forget that Purge Area (Frailty Curse) also gives 30% PDR if you have the Hyper Skill to make it affect bosses, so that puts you at 88.68%. That means you'd deal 33.02% damage to Chaos Vellum instead of 0.5%.

try to get 250-300% boss and about 85%+ pdr rest of the lines should go into % att and dont touch total dmg.

@Tekno Your BL is full.

@Tekno I'm not an NL expert, but I'm pretty good with the calcs.
I believe Magnus has 300% PDR, which means you'd be doing almost nothing with 67% ied. Your skills/hypers must add more ied that are boss only or skill quad star only. For magnus, a slight increase in ied goes a long way, but with high ied, it's harder to get slight increases. For example 10% more ied will only get you to 70% ied.

Sounds like you have 335% boss and 84% att. The impact of that is (1+3.35)*(1+.84)=8. If you can exchange 30% boss for 10% att, that gets you to 7.86. If you go the other way it gets you up to 8.09. So it seems like you're at a good sweet spot of boss% and att%. I wouldn't mess with either of them.

To compare ied and either boss or att, let me know the other sources of ied and how much each one is.

@Goda I just realized ur in gazed.add me to bl WhySoChen!

If you're not afraid of losing your charm's current potential and have a definite goal in mind, use red cubes. It's quite possible that you'll lose out on the boss % if you run out of cubes for a while, but if you're willing to cube until you get what you're aiming for, red cubes are cheaper.

@Tekno I'd say so. I have this thing for getting only useful lines on my weapon, secondary, and emblem. Right now, my claw is what's driving me up the wall as I try to get some combination of % ATT and Total Damage that exceeds 18% on the bonus potential, but it has been to no avail. In any case, yes, I suspect that you'd benefit more from the black cubes and just going for % ATT and PDR. Getting 30% PDR on one line, assuming I remember the formula correctly, would result in your PDR being 77%, which would bring that number on CRA and Magnus way up.

@BlazinBlood ty for your serious imput. I've Invested a lot of time and dollars into my nl. Roughly 2-3k total on everything. .that includes horrible luck with miracle time and gambling addictions with Gacha a nd perm boxes. F3 .I'm horrible lul.
@Goda ty as well..Currently my claw is 0/30 boss/9% total dmg. While my charm is the same except total dmg is str.so maybe I will black cube it.
So ya think maybe I should reduce boss damage for pdr/aatt%?

Hi there. I'm not too sure as far as night lords are concerned, since I've only been serious about funding mine over the past few weeks. With corsairs and other gun-wielding pirates, however, there's a point where % ATT becomes superior to Boss Damage, generally around 250%. That being said, I'd probably try cubing your claw or charm, the choice between which would depend on whch has less significant lines, for either PDR or % ATT. Your emblem, however, should remain as is. The one other thing that comes to mind, though I'm sure you've already got them covered is % Boss Damage or PDR nebulites for both your claw and charm.

I'm no calculation professional, but I would guess your PDR % is fine, although more would be nice. The reason I say this is because while you hit 35m on Hell Gollux, you only hit 25m on CRA/Hard Magnus, so I'm assuming more PDR % would help reduce their defense. Your boss % on the other hand seems pretty high, possibly excessive (I'm not sure).

On a side note, I'm curious how much you spent funding your Night Lord.
