Level 28 LNC/DRG cheat and hands

[Vodomir]

Does anyone know why the two DRG equips that are available at level 28 are worse than the level 23 equipment? For example, the Iron Scale Mail has 45 def and 45 mdef, while the level 28 steel chainmail is 38/18?

I noticed the increase in STR/VIT, but it's only like one point. I don't see that marginal increase making up for the substantial drop in primary stats.

Neither DEF nor MDEF are anyway close being your primary stats, they are actually not even worth being considered as secondary stats. Your primary stat is STR and STR alone. After that there's DET, CRIT and SS as your secondary DPS stats. Don't go crazy over VIT and especially not over DEF/MDEF.

You shouldn't even need to look at Def and Mdef since you're a DPS class. You have the tank to absorb the damage while you attack with your Strength. If you're solo, you kill so fast the mob can barely hurt you!
