Important notes

• Dark Servant ingame shows 2.00x accuracy. This represents 100% summon chance and does not reflect the accuracy of Dark Servant's powers. Dark Servant accuracy modifier is 1.00x unenhanced (like most powers), though slotting accuracy will raise the accuracy level of ALL of Dark Servant's powers that are not auto-hit
• Dark Servant's chill of the night and darkest night debuffs are autohit, but his versions of tentacles, petrifying gaze, and twilight grasp all have normal accuracy and need acc slotting.
