Black Anima Katana Help

General Discussion
I've been having allot of trouble getting my damage rate up on my Black Anima. I figured my armor and equips were a problem already, and I redid my build to have less skills (I only have the first, infinity, and last skill now, not including L4) and to focus more on Damage Passives. But still, the damage is lacking. Well under 100k lacking.

Then I noticed something weird. My combo was way, WAY off, I'm hitting 100k first hit without crit, and maybe 40k the next 3. I checked the Katana set and found that the stat boost for each set were vastly different from what they were when I played the Class in OGP, so everything I knew about BA is imbalanced

I'd really like some advice from players who are more in tuned with the changes made to Black Anima's build. Like, what's the best combo set to get better damage? Are the damage skills less effective now? Any advice would be awesome, thanks.

    Apparently the image insert button doesn't exactly... work... So I'll try to show my build this way...

    I've given a build for DPS Katana to someone here in the forums : http://forum.papayaplay.com/index.php?p=/discussion/comment/26591/#Comment_26591

    I'll just say the Shadow Tear is a big nope, you forgot Equivalent Exchange which lets you survive harsher instances, and damage is dependant on the combo you're using, and on the version you're using. Of course 40k is less than 100k. But if your attack hits 4 times, it's 40k x 4 = 160k.

    KisekiKuroi : BA 189
    Makimoke : Will be BM 200 / SD 140 at end of event!

    If you need help or want to talk, I'll be glad to oblige.

    I followed this old build roughly and I crit over 1 mill at times at level 199.
    Karasu: Black Anima (Katana) - 200
    Armageddon: Der Freischütz - 200
    Godzilla: Will Be Archmage Eventually? - 1

    I have a problem with your build @Kaonashi.

    No RP Regen means you'll just have to spam RP Recovery. Which has a LOT of CD. Why not just let it at level 3 (which already provides quite a lot of RP) and put those in RP Regen instead?
    RP Regen nets you an important thing you'll need for endgame : permanent Devotion build. Having Devotion on and still getting more RP than consumed is absolutely required if you want your damage to keep up with others.

    Also, I can understand not putting points into accuracy if you already have enough of it. But HP? You're already a tiny pile of sticks waiting to be smashed at any second as a BA, now you're just dust waiting for someone to clean you away. Your movement speed won't help you in stunlocks since you move with a dash already. Swap those movement points from MS to HP.
