1. Over-Cooldown Issues with Darkened Set and Creation Ring Combination
When acquiring cooldown reduction options through weapons, magic stones, and Creation Rings, especially when using the Corruption set, over-cooldown (70% limit) can occur.
Even without equipping unique fusion stones, over-cooldown can still occur, and the Venus unique fusion stone, which grants 4% cooldown reduction to all parts, can exacerbate over-cooldown.
Be careful as equipping the Creation Ring in Corruption state can lead to over-cooldown.
2. Equipment Setup Changes and Dungeon Damage Comparison
Compares the damage output when selecting the weapon cooldown reduction option in Purification state versus selecting the skill damage option in Corruption state.
Equipping Naber's Unique Blessing Ring instead of the Creation Ring can increase damage output.
Dungeon damage is not an absolute standard, and losses may occur depending on skill information.
Selecting skill damage in Corruption state may be more efficient than further reducing cooldown in Purification state.
3. Final Conclusion and Equipment Upgrade Direction
If you are wearing the Purification set of Darkened, it is best to ultimately transition to the Corruption state, in which case over-cooldown may occur.
Even if over-cooldown occurs, it is best to maintain the Corruption set if the Dungeon damage is higher.
You should adjust the equipment upgrade order from the point at which over-cooldown becomes severe as you equip unique fusion stones one by one.
The Creation Ring is not attractive to those wearing the Darkened set, so it is best to consider the Blessing Ring or another ring.
You should adjust the cooldown time considering your character and set situation.
Darkened is overwhelmingly more efficient in the Corruption state, so it is best to maintain the Corruption set and adjust cooldown reduction from other parts.
