Kuai, keep your idiotic one sided flaming opinions to yourself. God. Assholes like you should be banned, for the rest of us would gain your stupidity by Osmosis,

Anyway, back to the topic.

The BEST weapon, overall? Most likely be Gungnir, as its the most powerful lance in the game hands down. However, the Bourdanasse is easily a close second, as the lance's damage is actually blunt (hand to hand) instead of piercing. Which means it kicks ass on bones.

for exp, what Khaeos said, for HNM/gods, what Kuai said.

I'm not going to get into the whole "DRG are useless against HNM", but let me just suffcie to say that we're not from personal experience.

As stupid of a thing that is to say, I burst out laughing when i read that :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin:

Gugnir is definitely the best, but I don't know of anyone who has one yet. I'd have to disagree with Bourdonasse being a "close second". Gae Bolg, in my opinion, is a much better lance. As a Dragoon, you shouldn't be thinking about bones for EXP. You have Kuftal, Boyahda, Ro'Maeve, and Tu'Lia at your disposal for that.

As for HNM's, DRG isn't useless, but I'd definitely agree that playing a RNG would be the best weapon against the HNM's/gods :spin:. I don't see how you have much HNM experience at 65, but ehhh whatever. Judging from my personal experience, we're good as not being fast-hitting TP chargers like THF's, etc. and we're good with renkeis.

Gungir is the best by far but I'm afraid it's almost impossible to get. I find that Ice Lance +1 is second then Gae Bolg and after that Bourdannense, no need to fighting stupid bones anyway. As far as what Kuai said all I can say to you is this: If you are here just to be an asshole to DRGs just leave the fucking DRG board and go be a dumbass somewhere else. And the HNM point that was made, I must disagree...Wheeling does nice consistant damage.

Was just browsing these boards and on the last 3 posts I've looked at I've seen Kuai with his piece of crap comments. Someone needs to do something about him, there are few enough DRG's as there are already!
I've PT'ed with some very good lvl 50-55 DRG's, I never take any preference of DD, expect I always take WAR > all for a trick buddy or DD slot (since if he steals hate it's no worry). Kuai, get lost or at least post your job/sig....oh hold on, do you not play or are you such a coward that you post from behind your veil of anonymity.?

Along with what has been mentioned, I just want to ask if you guys think that the Colossal Lance and Dreizack are also good alternatives. Not that I'm playing DRG or anything, but hell this is a messageboard.

[Darkani]

I see it like this (on normal mobs)
Gugnir > Dreizack > Colossal Lance > Ice lance +1 > Gay Bolg > Ice lance

[SolidSnake207]

What Darkani said. Although imo.. I think that order also works well for HNMs.

[csBahamut]

I would think that Gae Blog would be good for HNMs and NMs with high def, and Dreizack/Colossal Lance would be the best for exp parties.

Reasons?
Gae Blog has high delay, but high base damage. This allows for the strongest hits possible on HNMs with the slowest amount of TP given to the HNM. Not sure if this works really, but that's just my theory on it so far.

Dreizack/Colossal Lance have nice dmg/delay ratios. Since having high enough Attack isn't much of a problem, having the best base dmg for as low of delay as possible become better.

At least, that's how I see the lances stacking up.
