Hello, so I'm looking to come back soon and I felt I should come by the DRG threads to get some advice on what direction I should go in when I get back. (besides leveling up and getting atmas and such from Abyssea) I left shortly after the release of Visions of Abyssea, and to be honest my gear kinda fell behind in that time period due to inactivity. I feel a bit overwhelmed not knowing what/which goals are still feasible anymore, and what gear pieces would be acceptable in this post Abyssea and Lv.75+ vana'diel.(I remember getting really frustrated about a new lance after Thal. stopped being good...) Any help/advice would be really um... helpful. Thanks in advance, Khronos.

p.s. if my gear when I left was of any help if my memory serves me right it was:
Thalassocrat/ Pole Grip/ -/can't remember
Wla. Turbin/ P.Charm/ can't remember x2
Pln. Body/Dusk gloves/can't remember x2
Cerb. Mantle/Swift Belt/ASA pants/Dusk ledelsens

Gearwise you want to look into the <url removed> for TP. The full set as soon as you can use it. WS set is still the same as before untill later. After that start working towards <url removed>.

For polearm there is mainly <url removed>. Rhongomiant isn't realy worth it at the moment. The occ. attacks twice Corsesca +2 is very nice. Otherwise there are the WS dmg +10% or STP +13 Stingray +2. There is also a droped polearm like Vougier's contus.

Thank you guys, one more thing though if someone could clarify: why wouldn't the Rhonge be very good compared to corseca+1? I was under the assumption multi-hit lances were more of a plaything compared to a high damage one.

Yeah I dunno what's with the <url removed> thing either. Does it automatically delete it if you link to wiki or something now?

*lights the Banalaty beacon*

All I know is <something something> 5 hit <something> lower DMG doesn't matter as much for drakesbane <something something> high WS frequency.

So yeah he can tell you better than I can.

Sorry about that. Didn't check now it showed. I guess we have to link to game escape now instead of wiki. I'll try:

Never mind, I can't link to that either. Don't know if you have to be a premium member then.

Your TP gain with the occ. atk. twice polearm is rather insane. So even though you have lower WS damage your overall damage is high. Banalaty can tell you a lot more about that. I also recall him making a comparison on a 1 dmg polearm and a high dmg polearm and the difference wasn't huge.

OK well when it's put like that I can understand why it would be a better choice. Even still I'll probably make a -PDT Lance on the side just because I miss dragoon soloing. The game has come a long way in the time I've been off, I can't wait to get back on. Here's to new adventures in Vana'diel, thanks again for the advice/pointers. Khronos.
