Dodge Earrings vs. Drone Earrings

[fightinghokie]

Okay, currently I'm a lvl 40pld/war and I have 2 dodge earrings equipped right now for +6 Evasion, what I was wondering was if I should switch to the Drone Earrings for +6 agi. The Dodge earrings are about 35-40k on my server and Drone are 18k (I think) Should I switch earrings now that I can equip them? Also, I have a bomb ring equiped, shoud I sell that for another Vit +2 ring?

Thanks in advance!

I prefer the 6 AGI. you get roughly 3 evasion but an up in parry as well.

I agree about the Drone earrings for the AGI+6 as well. I believe higher AGI also reduces the chance that monsters will score a critical hit on you, which is quite helpful. Plus, unless you're mithra (and maybe even then), a paladin will very rarely fully evade attacks from an IT monster. The evasion+6 would help, but I don't think it'd help as much as the benefits you gain from AGI+6 (for a paladin, that is).

EDIT: Forgot to mention another option, and that is the lv30 Mercenary's earring. It has Latent effect: VIT+2, which is probably more beneficial than AGI+3 overall. Also, the latent effect from this earring is active whenever your subjob is Warrior, which is most likely always. This is a reward from the BCNM30 battles, so it might be a bit pricey though, especially since it is rather new.

Yea, I think that as an elvaan the +agi would be better, maybe as a nin I would have more use for these earrings but I don't play my nin enough for that

Thanks again,

For the level 30 earrings and belts, they are subjob dependant. I'm too lazy to repost each subjob for the items, but you can just do a search on it.

Every PLD needs to pick up Mercanry Earrings...+2 VIT and incredibly cheap.

I'd say go for +6 AGI. I don't know how true it is that they increase parry and whatnot, but +6 evasion didn't help me in the least bit.
