Support Jobs
 Samurai
This will be the standard go-to subjob for a DRG using a Polearm. Hasso JA haste is invaluable for 2-handers and Meditate is always nice. Traits of Store TP and Zanshin are added bonuses to keep TP flowing for more WS spam.
|
 Warrior
Subjob choice when using Naegling with no offhand for Fencer bonus. Berserk and Warcry are nice attack buffs added on top. Wyvern gives you some JA haste so you're not stuck at 70% like most single wield.
|
 Ninja
For same reason as WAR, using a Naegling, however /NIN gives you the option to offhand a Kraken Club for some obscenely fast TP gain. You could /DNC as well, not much difference for DRGs purpose aside from /NIN means you don't have to worry about Samba uptime.
|
 Blue Mage
The Solo Defensive Wyvern pick. Gives you access to Defensive wyvern while also giving you some OK utility spells to keep yourself going. Cocoon is a nice little defense boost, and with some ML you gain access to Magic Fruit, which is a good cure option. Low cost spells like Foot Kick make it easy to slow the MP drain while getting your Wyvern to toss out heals. /WHM and /RDM could also be argued as useful for this position, but I feel /BLU gives the most utility.

Galkapryme's Equipment Sets (Under Construction)
- Author's Notes: Herein lies my humble collection of DRG sets. Coiste and Gleti's can be R0+ unless specified; and, with the exception of the MEVA set, Nyame gear assumes R25~R30. Unity +1 gear typically assumes R15.
I built multiple niche sets for various reasons, and I don't always aim for what people regard as BiS - mainly because I struggle to build DRG sets that strike the perfect balance between STP, X-hit, DT, PDL, and Haste. This is especially true when you consider the Wyvern, too. That said, I do believe I have identified a BiS X-Hit set.
Since this area is under construction, I will strive to present more optimal sets. But these have been tested, and are quite fun. I also built sets that are both with and without the Wyvern, since some end game content can kill a Wyvern before the recast timer is up to recall it. Save for PREMA-specific WS sets, most of these sets do not include the weapon since we all play with different weapons in different scenarios. Assume you can ignore the grip if using Naegling.

|
|
|
|
- The Starter Base Set can all be procured relatively easily (i.e., AH, R0 Lv. Oddy clears, Domain Invasion, NQ earring from Sortie)
|
- Unless Gleti's Breeches are R28+, stick with Nyame R25+. Even then, you significantly reduce DA percentage for a slight 5% TA chance. And if you're not really concerned about Acc or the extra Wyv. Lv. +1 (especially if you have Gae Buide), you can swap the Pel. Earring for the Sroda Earring. Otherwise, I'm compelled to call this one BiS (though I may be wrong).
|
- Seeks to strike a balance for the player and the Wyvern with a focus on STP. Definitely not a BiS set, and not advisable to use unless you are not pulling a great deal of hate, and/or you have a solid healer.
- Beware the Vim Torque Latent.

- NOT MAX ACC. Prioritizes player accuracy over wyvern, but does consider wyvern accuracy. Can add Cacoethic Ring +1 and Mache Earring +1 for Max Acc.
|
- MEVA set focuses on the player, but grants wyvern DT-25 over Warder's Charm +1. Carrier's Sash should suffice for elemental resistance.

Regain+2~22

|
- This is a glass cannon set, and if your Wyvern got killed, you probably don't wanna be wearing this. If you're just doing simple content and didn't even bother calling you're Wyvern (i.e., some small quest), you should be fine. Trades STP for more X-hit.
|
- Slightly more STP than w/Wyvern, but less PDT and PDL than the w/Wyvern set.
|
|
|
DT Capped
DEF 817~822
HP +734
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Focuses on DT rather than PDT, specifically.
- DT is way over cap because many of the pieces also include high DEF (i.e., Loricate and Odnowa)
- Still a good deal of Acc., and X-Hit; moderate STP with /SAM
|
- MEVA with and without wyvern are pretty much the same.
|
|
Weaponskill Sets
Most weaponskills are STR-based physicals with only 1 DEX-based and 2 magical. And as much as we love to see variety in our sets, empirical evidence suggests that the same STR-based set yields the highest WSD across multiple weaponskills. So, this section will be a bit thin. NOTE 1: Most of my Gleti's gear is R0, so I may need to come back and adjust. If after trying these sets versus your own you find yours is better, please comment in the discussions section. NOTE 2: Stacking critical hit and PDL gear (Gleti's) instead of STR gear appears to yield similar, but slightly lower outputs.

Savage Blade
Stardiver
Impulse Drive
Double Thrust
Leg Sweep
|
|
|
|
- Set assumes Stage 4 Prime+. There's not a great deal of utility for Stage 3 in Sortie if you have other REMAs.
|
- Relics aren't the best in the game these days; but they still get use, and it's never a bad thing to have one.
|
- Pretty much the same as Diarmuid set. Use Naegling for Savage Blade, R15 Rhongomiant for Camlann, R15 Trishula for Stardiver, and Shining One for Impulse Drive if you intend to use those weaponskills frequently in battle. NOTE: You may get better results if Gleti's is well-augmented. Regarding Savage Blade, I don't care what the simulator says, this set has been tested against the sets found in www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/All_Jobs_Gear_Sets/Dragoon.
|
|
|
|
|
- Likely only using these as part of a SC or to meet an objective...or you're a DD fighting a mob specifically resistant to physical damage.
|
- Use R15 Ryunohige for Drakesbane as best weapon. Stack STR and Critical Hit gear. Set forthcoming.
|
- Acc set for physical weaponskills. Set forthcoming, but assume Peltast's +3 set.
