Armor Question For DRG Duo~

My 44DRG/WHM(elvaan) with another 44DRG/WHM(mithra).

My partner suggested we use Earth Doublet and Crow legs/feet/hands @ 50.
However, I'm starting to think Brigandine @ 45 + Raptor legs/feet/hands @ 48 might be better (and cheaper).

Can anybody give me some insight? I'd greatly appreciate it. m(_ _)m

For you duoing, you'll want to focus on hp/mp gear, especially as Elvaan which has a very poo-like mp pool to begin with. I duo'd in Gustav Tunnel about your level with an elvvaan /RDM, with much success. For gear, I'd suggest going for your RSE in most slots. The Brigandine armor is probably going to be better than the Earth Doublet, and I don't think that the Crow/Raven gear will do you a lot of good in a duo situation where you'll be bouncing hate back and forth between the two of you anyway.

What's more, your RSE is essentially free gear. Its easily quested, just wait for it to be you game-week and head to the propper place to pop a chest. You get a pattern, talk to a gobbie, and bam! Sexy clothes =D

Hope that helps. If you have anymore DRG solo/duo questions, throw em' my way and I'll be happy to help out.
