Dark knight: Am I failing or what!?

If you could 2-hit with Zerk, that'd make it easier even with 19. That'd help you avoid getting hit and you wouldn't be in the danger zone so often. Maybe upgrade your gear a little bit to 2-hit, then go for zerk30.

Well the problem is the only things that I could upgrade that would be at all..at large magnitude is my top. 16 str for 15 mil was too good to pass up xD.

My gloves are 16 att, 4 dex 2 att facestompers, 120 attack skiis..mon pendent, 8att pink cape..I mean I guess I could buy a higher attack spear, or try to forge one..but the speed would make it even harder to avoid skele attacks wouldn't it?

And with 500mil (900 with 4 chaos scrolls) I really don't think I can upgrade anything xD
