Rage Hammer Destroyer Gearing Guide for Lost Ark

There's only one way to gear Rage Hammer Destroyer, due to the fact every single skill we have takes advantage of head attacks, and that's with the Earth's Entropy gear set. From that point, there's two ways to handle your substats. Both options focus majorly on Crit, but the choice of Specialization or Swiftness is up to the player and their level of comfort on the class and within encounters. A faster build may be easier to handle mechanics with.

Card sets for Destroyer are very straight forward. If you have access to it, Light of Salvation is the set to equip for Legion raids affected by Light-type damage. For any other content, or if Light of Salvation is unavailable, Lostwind Cliff is optimal for the increased Crit rate. If you're new to the game, feel free to equip any card set you have access to that increases survivability, such as Field Boss II.

Rage Hammer doesn't have much of a wide range of selection when it comes to Engravings, so the following choices are pretty much set in stone.

Engraving	Priority	Description
Rage Hammer	High	This is a must take. The class Engraving boosts our Crit Rate and Crit Damage, the two modifiers that significantly increase our burst damage.
Grudge	High	A staple in damage builds. Every DPS class in this game takes it, Destroyer being no different. The consistent shielding our skills provide us nullifies most of the downside from this Grudge as well.
Master Brawler	High	With every action we have, including the autos during Hypergravity, having a head attack modifier, Master Brawler is an easy pick.
Super Charge	High	This affects the majority of our burst damage by enhancing Perfect Swing, Earth Eater, and Full Swing.
Barricade	High	Gravity Release skills and Hypergravity all apply a meaty shield to Destroyer upon use, this is free damage every time you enter burst.
Cursed Doll	Low	This Engraving can be swapped out for Master Brawler, but it should only be done as a last resort. Head positionals are a focus with this class no matter what, and adding a negative impact Engraving in it's place doesn't make much sense.
Adrenaline / Ether Predator	Level 1 only	Both of these options are only if you're capable of running 5x3 + 1. Ignore entirely if not.

Starting in Legendary gear, you'll want the Preordained Diligence set from Argos to give you additional Critical Rate. At this point in the game, you can mostly ignore the set from Valtan normal mode and immediately start transitioning into the Earth's Entropy set. This provides Crit Damage, as well as increasing your head attack damage by a substantial amount.

Destroyer prioritizes Crit in order to reach maximum potential on our Gravity Release skills. Specialization or Swiftness can be taken depending on comfort on certain items, prioritizing Specialization for a higher damage ceiling.
