What would you use? I like the Acc on the Pahluwan.... but the others are nice too for the Attack. The +1 difference in STR doesn't bother me.

i am not a DRG, but i think keeping the Barone for jump TP bonus for sure

 

[Bladewind]

depends on your acc, but I'd say TP in Pln. macro other for jump.

Barone.

You don't need them Pahluwan Seraweels as the extra accuracy is meaningless somewhat to a DRG's already naturally high accuracy due to traits and 2handed change.

 

[Jakey]

Neither.

get dusk instead

at least until homam/barbarossa for tp and ares/heca for ws.

tp bonus only helps you if you need that extra 2 tp to reach 100 tp in which case you could really benefit from a small increase in store tp for all the time(instead of every 90 seconds) and the tp bonus once again becomes useless if you fix your tp build.

Paluwan are decent for ws.

If you really want acc check out AF+1 or askar legs.

I'm be careful about recommending attack over accuracy so readily before you know what the rest of his gear is like. IMO, it's safer to stick with the Pln. especially if you don't have Ace's/PCC etc.

keeping in mind that drg has massive natural acc bonuses, you have to be pretty desperate for acc to pick 4 acc over 20 attack. Unless you have at least askar or AF+1 you are probably better off picking up acc in other slots and using dusk.

This said I realize barone is ~free and you probably already have pln. if you are making this thread. If you can not afford dusk and want to know what to use until you can get dusk the answer is it depends if you are at capped accuracy, if not use pln otherwise barone.

This.

They're the best a DRG can get and something to strive for instead of settling with cheap AH gear and Assault pieces.

As far as STR on either Barone or Seraweels is concerned, it's not going to do much for your damage output, if anything at all but the attack it confers. This is why Dusk is a superior piece to both for TP.
