Notes

  • The Dark Artist's Leggings offer the highest increase to magic DPS for the leg slot.
  • The Hat and Robes give off a small amount of light.
  • Its male and female variants look identical.
  • In the game files, the cape part uses the Acc_Back_11 texture.[2]

Tips

  • This set has the same defense as Spectre armor with the mask option, increases magic damage by a larger percentage, and has almost double the increase in magic critical hit percentage. It does not share the Spectre set's set bonuses; however, the extra slots and bonuses to the Flameburst sentry summons allow it to place 4 powerful sentries at once. This is especially useful in arenas for boss fights, with the set bonus allowing the Flameburst sentries to attack from far away.
  • The Dark Artist armor's emphasis on sentries and minions makes it better suited to a cautious play style. Players who have difficulty attacking while kiting bosses with Spectre armor may find this easier.
  • The Dark Artist's Leggings give a 25% magic critical hit boost, making them excellent for hybrid sets.
