I have recently almost completely phased my rng out of relevance (not to mention my interest) due to the lackluster ws output and ever-decreasiing need for the applications it suited. I previously had designated my lol-expansion pieces to snapshot body and barrage macro head and feet.
Now I am almost exclusively playing DRG/DRK or War when farming TE/Key Items. I also low man as thf but rarely even then (mostly because i never got *** cuffs).

To the point:
Can i even make relevant usage of these expansion pieces or should i just relegate them to "end of era gear".
I was thinking Crit/DA Neuvo over Zahaks for drg/war/drk crit-based ws being that I'm not worried about capping dex. Would 2% chance to DA stack up against 5STR/5Dex loss?

I'm essentially looking for ANY use of these pieces and I am willing to accept any ideas with an open mind. Even if i move these pieces over to a thf special situation build it would beat the ***out of leaving in storage.

For the sake of avoiding questions i have homam, ground kings gear, ares's (but no skadi), move speed pieces, and most af3+1 (af3+2 already for drg). Thanks again in advance for any constructive ideas!

in my own experience zahak's > Neuvo. admittedly eyeballing over parsing but i had more regular "success" with zahaks.

as daft as it sounds i stuck acc on mine why? because theres more chances of you needing the acc to cap a skill (in new zones or new jobs lvlled) so it becomes more of a nice piece to have rather than got to have. Now your war/drg/drk specialist.. then dont worry about it. ill assume you have hauberk for war and drk? or even ebody works wonders..

legs however, movement speed and -PDT is the sex.

that my opinion. probably means nothing

I'm doing ACP/AMK on my second char now and this is how I'm making the Body and Head XD Though the only char on there is THF (well, BLU75 too, but that doesn't entertain me too much)

The 10% Fast Cast for jobs that have no access to equal/better options in those slots is quite an advantage (even if it's only for casting Utsusemi). With the other augments being less than stellar (now anyway), Fast Cast really does seem the way to go in most instances.

Though, I am talking from a THF perspective, it may differ a little for other jobs.

Since you have all twilight I'd focus on them for thf, situational ranged pieces for mms maybe? hmmm
My current body already has snapshot and ratt for rng but i doubt i'd ever need that for thf.

I'm really wishing pants had Magic damage reduced as well T.T PDT/MDT/DT all cap at 50% for each trait correct? IE shellraVcapped +26% MDT gear hard caps you iirc and regardless of how you stack DT/PDT the "overall" take is still 50%?
