Disappointing Merit Party ; ;Follow

Ok, I finally got my Drg to 75 (my 6th 75 job) and unlocked Drakesbane. I had a merit party on birds where I rocked the house. At this point im pumped. Then last night I get an invite to Mamools and im thinking, ok it wont be birds.. but ill still rock. Well, I was not happy at all with my damage.

I think my high for the 2 hour party was a 1250 Penta. However, my Drakes were anywhere in the middle of a miserable 550-850 with the occasional 980. Is this just how it goes at mamools? The Sams are whipping out 1000+ regularly while my WS just paled in comparison. I am also a 75 SAM/DRK/RNG/THF/PLD, but I really love DRG and I want to maximize my WS output here.

I know my TP build is solid (Homam (Hand, feet, legs) PCC, Rajas, Brutal, ect)but im looking for some advice on WS gear. Heres my WS gear at the moment.

Weapon: Thal
Grip: Pole
Ammo: T Sting
Head: Wyvern
Neck: PCC
Ear: Brutal
Ear: Bushinomimi
Body: Heca
Hands: Tarasque +1 (can get AF+1)
Ring: Sniper
Ring: Rajas
Back: Amemet+1
Waist: Potent
Legs: Pahluwan
Feet: Rutters

The ONLY thing Im not willing to do here is Sky again. So Heca Hands/Feet are out. Hoping for some AH solutions for now. I have 4 Polearm merits also and I cannot add more. Also accuracy did not seem to be my issue in this party and I was using Couerl Subs.

Because DRK AF+1 is so hot, I never got Heca Hands/Feet. And at todays Angel skin prices.. its just not an option.

Being a good AH drg.. it's just not an option.

This is probably going to sound silly, but, would macroing in a Spike Necklace, just for WS, help out? I know those Necklaces are dirt cheap and the STR might help out some if accuracy doesn't seem to be an issue.

Your accuracy probably isn't as good as you think it is. Plus, the neck slot isn't too potent aside from accuracy pieces like PCC. The only thing better than PCC for WS is a WS gorget, so really that's all you should bother to work on getting.

Aurum are also a decent WS option if you dont want Heca feet.
