DNC has less evasion than THF (depending on gear) and more than NIN. I would also recommend making one Eva dagger because your sub slot is often the best place to trade stats for Evasion in the rare situations where you need it.

Before you make anything, though, go cap your skills. You don't need good weapons to skill up (the worse the better really) and they will make everything you do on DNC more efficient. You can probably do it by fighting EM-T crabs in Grauberg even without Atmas. Just get cruor buffs and keep yourself alive with Waltz.
