Right now I'm career PLD, but have been lvling WAR and COR for meriting faster/easier and one or another endgame event, like Salvage/Limbus (everything else I'll still come as PLD most likely, maybe COR on Grand Wyrms). With that in mind, my resources are focused on pimping my PLD (no suppa/rajas. Capped shield merits, +enm...). But I was wondering what alternatives I could use for gear and if I could/should fully merit Sword now to offhand Joyeuse (dont say "Ridill" :/) when my WAR is up there or if I should stick for axe/axe (and if so, should I merit that later when WAR is up? not like I engage HNMs on PLD anyways).
Current gear I'm have/am aiming for is:
Head: Turban (O. Hat for WS)
Neck: Chiv Chain (ideally would have a peacock, but not sure when/if I will get that)
Body: Hauberk
Waist: Potent Belt (got Swift and Warwolf too, not sure if I should use either anytime)
Back: Amemet+1
Hands: Not sure yet, ideally aiming for Dusk Gloves*.
Legs: The DRG/WAR JSE one, with jump tp bonus and +str/atk. NQ
Feet: AF (Amir Boots for WS)
Rings: Sniper's Ringx2 (???* for WS)
Earrings: Aiming for Brutal Earring, also got Coral and Minuet Earring (I always have BRD in pt so..).
Ammo: Bomb Core
Weapons: Maneater*/Joyeuse or Wood*/Mane*.
All items marked with a "*" are items I dont have yet, some of these I probably will have by the time I reach 75, but some I might not and so I would like suggestions to replace them. The Rings/Earrings are the most tricky part for me because I dont really know what I should use as alternatives since I didnt pick Suppa nor Rajas.
