Any other DRGs feeling overwhelmed with all this new gear that's coming out? Personally I'm trying to decide myself what is consider obsolete and what's not ><!

Yeah... not in the DRG sense but SAM especially for me.

I'm not even sure what direction to go in or where to start... i'm just trying to hit 80 and call it a day....

Overwhelmed? Not even a little..excited about the prospect of getting new gear? Well yeah then sure..drg got some nice stuff but for most of this gear we have no idea how to obtain it.

Once I find out how easy/hard it is to get said gear then my feelings might change a little.

Makes me happy to see more versatility and options available to cater to different, yet (equally?) effective ways of playing a class.

It won't take long for someone to find the "best" setup and leave it open for debate, but as long as new stuff in various attribute combinations come out, use what works best for you~

alot of this gear is shinny and pretty but when everything is figure out I wonder if it will be better than what we already have. The set might be better than Homam for Tp but I am not convinced for WS its hard to win over Heca/Aurum/Zahak's but who knows.

Its fun to look at tho!

Yea I get that lol, my only quarrels are, is what good gear now needs replacing, and how many post 75 jobs will we be able to manage, gear wise that is. Not to mention regearing!!

Ugh lol, it's back to writing equipment charts for me....

I'm thinking Homam is still better though, at least the hands, legs and feet for DRG are. Soon as I get back on I gotta level SAM to 49 and finish up with Medals so I can get Nocturnus mail... to me it's the best for TP and WS :).

Some of the new gear is hot..the str8 dex4 acc att body is awesome! But is it as hot as the bodies we already have or the sets we already have? With that 5/5 set and the new 7haste belt it might be..but tbh someone that is a whole lot smarter than I am will figure all the math out.

For now I have Homam it is pritty so I will use it!

At the moment my current TP guide for 76-80 is looking like this!



I know I can change a few things for 'endgame' stuff. I was also having a bit of trouble deciding if i want to use Perle Hauberk and/or Timarli Jawshan for TPing. The hands I was also debating if I should use Timarli Dastanas eventually. Feet, homam to still good. But legs hmmmm, Perle legs actually look better. If you are willing to trade 1% haste and fast cast, perle leg wins with 7 more acc, dex and vit as well as 2% haste.. hmmm! the possibilities are endless.

-Askar, +Walahra Turban
-Ulthalam's Ring, +Blitz Ring!

Also that doesn't look 6hit, use Rose Strap.

Goading, my bad; looks EXACTLY like Swift. That is indeed a 6hit.

2% Haste is a pretty huge increase in damage and one you can easily afford to make on DRG. .dat mod Turban if you don't like it; the results speak for themselves!

yeah, i'm feeling quite overwhelmed. i've got to make a list of all my gear and evaluate which pieces are obsolete

make a list of those pieces, find what they should be replaced with

make a list of the replacement pieces, find out how hard/easy they are to get and balance that against their potential usefulness

then i've got to set priorities on what order to do/get stuff in

so yeah, pretty overwhelming -_-

i was just getting to the point where i knew every relevant piece of gear for my jobs by heart, and knew exactly what improvements to make >_>
