one of my RK is DB/HS but i can tell you at 175 you will be using DB most of the time. I use HS only when my enemy has 100% resist to fire and water and even so i do paltry damage sine my gears are set for DB.
The equipments are
Catherine Von Blood[1] arguably the best head gear when starting out. It gives you SP when you kill a monster helping you spam your DB immensely.
+9 Vanargand[1] + Fenrir Chain[1] - use this when you can't 1 or 2 shot enemies with DB. specially useful for bio 4)
+8 Red baby dragon hat - for optimal dmg but sacrificing HP/SP leech. I use it for PVP/WoE but not much for PVM. Switch between this and Vanargand for MvP or between this and Catherine Von Blood[1]
+7 fafnir scale[0]
temporal ring[1] + temporal dex boots with speed of light enchant and ea enchants
+9 Fallen angel wing[menblatt card] with ea enchants
New wave sunglasses - 10% cast delay reduction
+10 scutum - adds hp therefor boosts dmg
+9 Imuke Upper Shield - to survive in WoE
Perverse Demon Mask
weapons:
*cards: Archer skeleton cards when starting out. Powerful Archer Skeleton Cards when you want to maximize damage(cost a lot since powerful archer skeletons only appear inside a daily instance)
Hunterfly card for HP leech
Mace/Pike/Knife[Hunterfly *4] - for hp leech.will save you a ton of hp pots and your go to weapon when dying
+X Valkyrie Hammer[4*AS or PAS card] - for dmg
Thanatos Weapon[AS] - added sp leech chance. not really that important but it helps.
+9 tae goo lyeon[2] with ea enchants - cost varies greatly depending on how high the ea enchant is. at +9 reduces cast delay by 20%, sp cost by 20% and enables you to use 2hand quicken. since it gives you both cast delay redux and sp cost reduction it is easier to spam db.
some things to consider:
I think you can spam at most 3 dragon breaths per second. once you reach that point consistently just boost the damage instead.
look up some dragon breath cast delay reduction in this forums as someone already posted it.
I can't suggest the cost since I play in iRO Thor but I can say that it is cheaper nowadays compared to gearing up an earth drive RG. In thor 1 fafnir scale = 1 shield ring. you only need 1 fafnir scale for db rk while 2 shield rings for ED RG.
stats
depends on you. there are a lot of topics about this already. Personally I use 120 dex 108 int 108 vit 72agi 69 str. There are variations. it really depends on what your existing gear is.
some randomly fun things but not optimal stuff:
the whole pertz set and storm stone would give you 70% cast delay redux 10 seconds after casting aura blade. I tried it out and it will help you spam DB. Even tried switching from pertz set to DB set to gain most out of it. it works but is hard to use. in Woe scenario this is difficult to setup since people are flying around and you only get to react split second.
