Pictomancer DPS Gear and Best in Slot — Dawntrail 7.0

This section includes a few recommended sets for the launch of Dawntrail for Pictomancer to use while leveling. Two options are presented for this, as the first uses a fair few pieces of Savage gear, which all players may not have access to. It should be noted that this gear should be replaced around level 85 or 86, and isn't required by any means for dungeon grinding, it's simply nice to have if you're looking to maximize damage early. In addition, work is still being done on the impact Spell Speed has on Pictomancer, so these may change before the launch of Dawntrail as well, though effort will be made to keep the same links active.

One final note, the website used to display these does not currently support Pictomancer itself, so the links will show Red Mage. This can be safely disregarded, as these sets were originally made for that job, but should be applicable to Pictomancer at the launch of Dawntrail.

The set below is an example of one of the better options for launch, if one has the pieces left over from another casting job. It should go without saying, but you'll need to replace the Red Mage weapon with the equivalent Pictomancer weapon, which will require you to have a weapon coffer from the same tier ready on launch. If you don't, replace it with a weapon close to the same item level. You may miss out on some stat tiers, but optimizing to that extent for leveling is largely overkill to begin with. As Etro does not yet support using the Azeyma's Earrings, which is a 10% EXP boost when under level 90, please make sure to replace the earring in this set with that, if you have access to it.
