Vanya Trousers for DRG

[Applekrumble]

I was just wondering if anyone has an idea of the materias that's advisable to be allocated on the Vanya Trousers for a DRG.

That and if HQ fully melded vanya trousers would be better than AF2 pants

To my knowledge, no hq crafted/melded gear is better than AF2. Reason being, hq crafted gear has a cap on main stats and melds can only be used to add secondary stats - skill/spell speed, determination, crit, piety, accuracy.

You can meld 8 CRT and 18 DTR on it. No SPD.
Don't know exactly about ACC (probably 8).

Quite good, but not as good as AF2/Alla.

I think the only crafted gear that plays in the same league as AF2/Alla for DRG are the right side items. That is because you can meld up to 10 Vitality on them, while AF2/Alla has none.

The way i melded my right side items is in comparsion a tradeoff:
Lose 4 STR but get 8 VIT and ~14 more secondary stats.
I'm happy with that, since the items cost 0 Myth to get!

You can inspect my gear in the lodestone to see other parts. I have melded all parts with 5 materia.
