Apocalypse

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Full Disclosure.
I do not own an Apocalypse. Everything in this section is what I've experienced talking with Apoc owners, playing with Apoc owners, and my own theory crafting.

If you've gotten to the point where you have a relic than I'm going to assume you know how to figure out an alternative if you can't get something. This section is for the best of the best sets, not a ton of alternative sets.

Horizon Changes

• Catastrophe modifiers are STR and INT instead of AGI and INT

Aftermath

Aftermath effect is +10% equipment Haste.

If you didn't know, the equipment haste cap is +25%. Essentially what this means is that we need to adjust ALL of our TP sets since we can actually cap our haste while under the aftermath buff.

The goal of all of our TP sets is to do the following:

• Get 15% haste on our gear
  • The Armada Set has Era+ changes to it and it now has haste ont it. This is great for us.
• Once we have 15% gear haste, we can worry about accuracy. Fortuantely, Apoc has +20 Accuracy and the Armada Set has plenty of accuracy. You really don't have to worry about accuracy tbh.
• Once we are haste and accuracy cap, we pump as much ATT and STR as possible to maximize our damage.

Playing with a Mjollnir Owner

Mjollnir's Aftermath is an AoE Buff of 5% gear haste, which means we can further adjust our sets. The goal is similar but we need to have sets that have up to

• 10% Gear Haste (Both Apoc and Mjollnir Active)
• 20% Gear Haste (Just Mjollnir Active)

Then fill the rest with ATT/STR/ACC as needed per usual.

I haven't spoken to any Apoc+Mjollnir Duos so this is purely theory crafting.
