Thalassocrat
Pole Strap (Double Attack +2%)
Tiphia Sting
Homam Zucchetto or Turban
Chiv. Chain
Brutal Earring
Assault Earring
Askar Korazin
Tarasque Mitts
Sniper's Ring
Ulthalam's Ring
Amemet Mantle +1
Potent Belt
Barone Legs
Barone Feet

I would like to eventually get a pair of Dusk Gloves to replace the mitts and a Swift Belt, but any other suggestions? What gear should I macro in to maximize the average damage output Penta Thrust and Drakesbane (I'll prolly have Ohat as one of the pieces for the extra acc)?

Aim for homam! The feet and legs would be great for your haste build not to mention the wyvern HP bonus on the boots.

dusk/aurum feet, til you can obtain homam feet.
Or amir boots if u have AP redily available.
Askar Zucchetto would be good for head gear as well, same acc+(DEX+4) as homam head, with 1 extra haste, and 4 STR, decent WS piece if u dont have wyrm armet :3
If you can afford weapon merits, I'd do some polearm merits, and with acc bonus 2, you shouldn't need to worry that much about accuracy :p

Tarasque Mitts have a nice + Attack bonus, but I would suggest you aim for the AF +1 , definitely the best gloves for DRG as far am I'm concerned. If you prefer something that's buyable, the Hydra Finger Gauntlets have similar stats and are probably the best buyable gloves for DRG.

Ace's helm! As for Hand gear, stick to your Att piece for TPing and try to get your hands on Heca Mitts for WSing

Haste + Store TP is the way to go
since you already have Askar Korazin and a Brutal Earring get yourself a Raja's ring and you will reach 100% TP from 0% in 6 hits
then simply start stacking as much haste gear as you can as it greatly increases DPS the more you have.
As already suggested start aiming for Homam Legs and feet and get that swift belt (codexs can be solo farmed easily by Drg)
For Penta Thrust both Str and Dex affect it equally so AF+1 hands or any Hecatomb would be ideal whilst adding acc for any slots you have spare
Drakesbane is pure Str so Alky Bracelets would be best along with any Str gear you can lay your hands on

Well Ty for the suggestions ^^. Rajas ring is out of the question tho lol, already completed CoP and chose the Sattva Ring.

And Moondaddy, if you were referring to what Koryuu said, he didn't mean Wyrm Finger Gauntlets. AF+1 Koryuu said, that's Drachen finger gauntlets +1 (STR and DEX +5, which would be a decent WS piece). But unfortunately I used my first DRG AF upgrade material set on upgrading the legs...working on a Healing Breath set atm, just need the Wyvern Mail from subligar quest, and gonna pick up a Saurian Helm.

Half of the posts on this page make me /facepalm. Please, if you're looking for good advice for gear, or anything about Drg in general go to the following link and remake this thread there.

:P lol. I pretty much had my gear plans set up in my head. I want some Hecatomb but have no endgame LS right now so that'll have to wait a bit. Working on Swift Belt atm, and do Limbus twice a week and Nyzul once...so more Homam and Askar soon hopefully lol.

This list will be strictly in my opinion, but feel free to elaborate on which pieces should be changed, improved or otherwise. I'll list them in a progressive manner of upgrade and keep it as realistic as possible.

TP Setup
--------
Thalassocrat > Skystrider (w/ Supremacy Earring) > Valkyrie Fork
Smart Grenade / Tiphia Sting > Black Tathlum (Don't forget angons!)
Optical Hat > Pahluwan Qalansuwa > Walahra Turban > Askar Zucchetto
Chivalrous Chain > Peacock Charm > Ancient Torque > Love Torque
Fowling Earring > Ethereal/Hollow Earring
Assault Earring > Brutal Earring
Assault Jerkin > Pahluwan Khazagand > Askar Korazin / Homam Corazza
Hydra Finger Gauntlets > Askar Manopolas > Dusk Gloves / Homam Manopolas
Sniper/Woodsman Ring > Blood Ring > Ulthalam's Ring > Divisor Ring
Amemet Mantle +1 > Forager's Mantle > Cerberus Mantle (assuming you have a tank job)
Potent Belt > Wyrm Belt > Swift Belt > Speed/Velocious Belt
Barone Cosciales > Pahluwan Seraweels > Askar Dirs > Drachen Brais +1 / Homam Cosciales
Barone Gambieras > Pahluwan Crackows > Amir Boots > Dusk Ledelsens > Homam / Aurum Sabatons
