This Dark Summoner guide is all credited to Excalibur guild member Royal. I just repost it here. Thanks for this awesome guide, Royal!

~Part 1: Introduction~

Hi, my main is named RoyaleDeath you may seen my youtube videos. I have gotten a lot of requests for my build, a guide, or whats good and not good for Dark Summoners. This will hopefully answer all your questions. In this guide I will go over my build, what good gear to use for kali, PvP builds, and how to use kali to her best potential.

~Part 2: PvE/PvP Build~

This build is more PvE but also is good for PvP. My pure PvE and pure PvP build will be below in a different section.

Explanations:

Kali Tree:

Before I go in depth of why i put each skill at its skill level I want to say why I didn't get Spirit Blow. It's because even though its a dark damage skill its still physical damage. Meaning when your damage is way up there in the 14k+ and your phys dmg is around 10k- its not going to do as much damage as it use to and may even be one of your lowest damaging skills.

Despair Needle lvl 1: I put this at lvl 1 for pvp comboing it may also be good for the small mobs in PvE but it isn't good for damage.

Negative Ghost lvl 11: This is not meant for dps but its debuff makes the enemy not attack you for 7 secs. Its like silencing it for 7 secs plus its cd is 20 secs so it can be cast a lot and could save you from those annoying enemies from interuppting your skill.

Phantom Guard lvl 5: When you first start playing kali and try lvling her your mp drains SUPER fast and it is really risky using this. When you hit cap and get your mp really high this won't drain your mp as much as it use to and its really good for parties. It lasts 23 secs and its cd is 30 secs. If you get a 20% buff duration for this thats 27.6 secs meaning it is almost permanent.

Passives: You can sacrifice a few skill points in health if u want Spirit Blow, but kali's hp isn't the best. You deffinatly want at least lvl 1 mp recovery due to her mp drain.

Screamer Tree:

Phantom Claw lvl 16: This is one of your main dps skill its like magma punch, but for screamers

Chain Claw lvl 11: This is another one of your main skills very useful in pvp its like ice punch but more powerful.

Rampage Claw lvl 10: This is probably the fastest, highest, and fastest cds for any dps skill you have. It also has a 60% stun chance which is really nice for pvp. I recomend making a skill necklace or earring for this to get lvl 11 cause in T4 the damage in skill greatly boost at lvl 6, 11, and 16

Stigma of Curse lvl 6: This skill is not a high dps but is needed to summon your puppet. In pvp, lvl 6 is really nice cause if u left click again u can summon another tailsman. If you want keep this at lvl 1 and put it into soul gate cause thats a very high damaging skill.

Summon Puppet lvl 5: This skill is probably the biggest lifesaver skill you have. When you summon this puppet and attack it. Whatever the puppet's linked to deals the same dmg. Its like a voodo doll. In pvp everyone hates you for this but in PvE its probably what gets you in parties.

Beast Spirit lvl 10: This skill is a very high damaging skill also lower cd than rampage claw. It does not do as much damage as Rampage Claw but is close. I would get this to lvl 11 with a skill necklace or earring. Its debuff is 50% of the damage dealt is applied to it every 2 secs for 12 secs. OP!!!! at lvl 11 it lasts for 14 secs.

Increase Soul lvl 3: Like phantom guard you dont use this much while lvling do to low hp. At maxb this does hardly anything to your hp but boosts your matk GREATLY. lvl 3 does 11% +556 matk boost. Very nice stacked with spirit of genie.

Dark Summoner Skill Tree:

Sadism Pleasure lvl 4: This skill I think is bugged at the moment, but if its not than its not that great. If it is you will be wanted in parties. The bug is that it is sapouse to do the EXACT same effect to all party members but at the moment only gives them dark atk. This skill while active takes 2.25% of the damage you deal and heals you. This may seem very low but when your doing high dmg on multiple targets this is like a personal healing relic. It also increases dark atk by 12.5%

Chaos Formation lvl 4: this is one of your main dps to not as high as the rest but its range is HUGE. Very nice for pve and pvp.

~Part 3: Equipment~

There is a lot of different combos for kali you can make at the moment until 60S is realesed. A lot of people are going FD combo but considering FD is 1800 for full potential its pretty hard to hit. It can also sacrifice a bit of your matk/ dark atk to get full FD. I recomend this build

Gear:

Accesories:

Technicue Rampage Claw - Earrings/Necklace / Radiant Necklace

Technicue Beast Spirit - Earrings/Necklace / Radiant Earrings

For the technicue aim for int, matk, agi, crit (I don't know if you can get crit but agi is good too. Brilliant Rings for both

(Getting radiant neck and earring instead of technicue boosts all ur stats by a bit but not to the extent a technicue would but only to one atk). It gives very little FD but very good matk and decent hp and crit. This is good for a dps build. The brilliant rings add Dark Atk and Dark Atk does more than matk for kali cause ALL her skills are dark atk. Having high dark atk is much better than 0 dark atk and high matk

Suffix:

Helemet, Leg Armor, Body Armor, and Shoes - ALL intellect.
Gloves - Life-Giving (Most say no but the CD is 5 secs and heals 0.35% of your health. May seem
small but over time it helps that or you can do magical.)
Main Hand - Intellect
Off-Hand - Adorned

Potential:

Helmet, Leg Armor, Body Armor, Shoes, and Gloves - HP, Int, agi/vit (both work)

Weapons - Dark atk, and Int

Rings - Dark atk, and int

Necklace and Earrings - Int, Agi, HP/Vit
