Pictomancer DPS Gear and Best in Slot — Dawntrail 7.2
On this page, you will find the best gear and best-in-slot items for your Pictomancer DPS in Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail (Patch 7.2).
Pictomancer Gearsets (BiS)
This section includes level 100 BiS for patch 7.2 -- the pre-savage BiS is a pentamelded crafted gear set. This
is ideal for going into Savage for the first time. The other BiS are what to aim for once you're done gearing from Savage. The
2.5 GCD set is the absolute highest DPS, but for those with bad ping, it may be difficult to fit the final 
Rainbow Drip into raid buffs. For
those with this issue, the 2.48 GCD set will be your best option.
Best in Slot by Category
At level 80, the best gear available is either Edenmorn from the Eden's Promise raid series or the associated tomestone gear of the same item level - the Cryptlurker's gear. The former requires doing the Savage difficulty of the raids (which can be done unsync'd!) and the latter requires Allagan Tomestones of Poetics. One quick way to obtain the set of tomestone gear (if you have the money to spare) is to purchase a level 80 boost for the Ninja job.

Easier Level 80 Pictomancer Leveling Set
At level 90, BiS gearsets from 2.48 or 2.5 Red Mage and Summoner sets can be used relatively easily. As with before, this gear should be replaced by level 95 at the absolute highest, so if you don't have the gear needed to do so, you can use the unaugmented pieces instead, just replace the gear a level or two earlier.
