    It's nearly a year from my last usable item drop from the game, some would say it's just another bad luck just like q5 khalys 120 kills was needed to get 10 boxes.

    Yes i got my sword from winter event 2013, i'v played since 2011 and now over 1000 days continously every day many hours. When lvl40 dwarfs alone (close combat) can kill my dk in pvp it seen there are something terrible wrong in game system.

    hopefully next year or even rest of this year i get even one good drop from the game. It seems there is too much favor for newer players.

    Agreed. If your DK is being killed one on one by a dwarf, either that is a serious P2W dwarf with high PvP rank compared to you or you need to reexamine your DK or your play style.

    I don't play PvP but even from reading from those sentences, I'm like o_O

    I agree with the others that you need to reassess your gear or your gaming strategy.

    Yeah. Im a level 45 DK, and I look upon level 40s and dwarves as HP pots. You're doing something wrong.

    gaming strategy is not the problem, character just gets weaker every day without new gear. I´m just waiting with my edimants to get those slots open for gems on new gear.

    Ok, now i chanced my gear to that (noobish) essens gear. I geined around 140 damage and lost more than 2k hp, and now i can kill something in pvp. Now it more harder to carry flag when it's easy (you can read: possible) to kill my dk with one single hit.

    Damage 882-940 (1,65 speed)
    hp 7,7k
    armor 53%
    block 59%
    Block amount 73%
    crit 43% (with sargon clow)
    res 50%

    You need to get rid of the sargon claw and its minus 35% armor and replace it with something else. If you've been using it all along that's one of the reasons why you're having problems.

    Yeah, I agree. As a dedicated tank, that thing is just a gem holder in my locker. There's no way I could be effective with that kind of armor penalty. Not against Destructor or Mortis, at least. That armor penalty would cause major problems for me in PvP too, I suspect. When I lost about 7% armor (actual value) using W.Chaser set instead of 3xDark, I had problems tanking Mortis. I could do it, but it was more stressful by far and I used a lot more healing potions.

    Sadly if i remove sargon claw then my crit goes 0% :)

    Try to find a leg claw with 4 crit enchantments, you may not hit 1k crit as a dk, but with some luck you may find 600-800 crit hit and hopefully some open slots.

    Get a legendary claw with 3x or more crit. Gramps suggestion of 4x would be the simplest solution, and ive even gotten 2 of those, but it requires decent luckto get get 4x anything and even more to get good crit lines. I had 2 pre139 claws with 4x crit pop up in the r139 free id party, but the best was only 4xcrit for 592 crit total and only 2 slots (the other was about 530 crit). But the high crit total i think was increase with r139.

    Running mortis and hoping you get the seal of death might be a good option; it does not take much time to glyph it up to level 45 for about 250 hp, 305 armor and 305 crit.

    Agreed with what Novadude and G_R_A_M_P_S said. Keep looking for something with 3X or 4X crit enchantments. It might take a while, but you should be able to find something pretty good eventually.

    A decent crit enchantment will run 170-180 (maybe more than that since the latest releases) on a level 45 decoration, so with some luck and time invested you're looking at 500-750 crit chance pretty easily... with maybe a base damage or crit damage enchantment thrown in there for a bonus. The crit chance loss might not be as bad as you might imagine, percentage-wise, and you'll gain back a lot of your defensive ability to resist physical attacks. You can always still use the claw in farming and other PvE where you aren't getting slaughtered easily.

    Just some friendly advice from some old veterans :)

    There's your answer and I agree with all the DKs out there (my current guild in Heredur is full of them) that you need to turf Sargon's Claw... then again most players of any class would know that items from the Sargon weapons set has penalty properties that are so great that there's little benefit from using them. I have the Sargon's Book of Shadows but the penalty's so great that even using other unique items in its place is better off.

    And seriously, listen to good advice when they're offered. Look for better legendary claws to use that has better crit + armor stats. It may take a while to find but well worth the time and patience.

    Even one with 20 damage and 250 crit (something relatively easy to get on a legendary) would be better as you would also gain back the 35% armor.

    Yeah, sometimes it seems no matter how much time you put in - you just don't have any luck. Well, good luck to you for 2015 then ;)

    It also can help to look at replacing gear in batches. Maybe another piece of gear, such as one of your rings, is also weak, and you might have some more more luck if you aim to improve 8 lines at once, as obtaining 2x crit twice might be easier than hitting the 4x crit jackpot.
