Puppetmaster TP gear
If you already have the mp merits, oneiros is quite nice for tp.

Can swop neck to cirque, back to pantin, and pick a ghillie up )there about 10k on my server) 3 quick easy upgrades, oh, just noticed feet, the set bonus of 5/5 cirque isn't worth tping in cirque feet, grab some aurore until you can get something better. Not that theres much better feet to tp in, usukane, athos or Savateur's Gaiters are probably the only ones
I agree with Vanian about the boots, you are better off with something like Savateur's and for the back another decent option would be a Blithe Mantle to stack up with the Cirque Capello/Twilight Sash/Epona's. Another thought if you have H2H merits maxed is to get a Bruiser's Earring to keep the highest damage tier you can when you replace the Faith Torque with a Cirque Necklace. One last thought, I realize that Revenant Fists are a pain to get and you probably don't want to just cast them aside but Stringing Pummel is going to be on par with, if not higher than your VS's on pup so you might consider something with a higher damage and some better stats. Brawney Adargas are a decent choice, or go for a weapon like STR/ATT Magian claws or if you're like me and have fun stacking PDT- and whatnot go for the PDT- claws, you get the higher damage, PDT-11%, and VIT+11 which is a mod for Pummel.
Keep in mind Im not completely familiar with pup gear. If you dont see yourself trying to get some nni done soon id say aiming for a few pieces from the new salvage would work great. Omodaka legs obviously for pet haste would be useful. Usu +1 feet looks sexy for TP like you said. Usu +1 head doesnt seem that much worse than af3+2 but i figure it could still be used as hybrid evasion *if pups rock that* when those situations arise & maybe Omodaka body for Pummel? :x

Pup isn't viewed as a good job to help get to floor 100. Only have 4 99 jobs and unfortunately none of them have top gear. Plus 1 AF3 so far with a couple +3 ToM weapons. You can gear up war easy with an AH greatsword and resolution. Anyone who says you need an Ukon for it is an idiot.

Trying to find some use for the new salvage gears....
i highly doubt mnk > war & its even more surprising that sam isnt mentioned. sam drk & war are top 3 dd's for nni.
af3 legs & nom hands. Offline

sam and war lack any form of untility in NNI
Im guessing you mean utility? What else do you need besides fast TP gain & Powerful ws dmg to one-shot fodder/destroy bosses?

Lets take away everything that is the same in these combos and see what is left:
AF3 Legs + Nomkahpa Mittens DEF:74 Enhances "Martial Arts" effect vs Usk. Gote +1 + Thaumas Kecks DEF:79 Accuracy+17 Evasion+13 Attack+4 "Subtle Blow"+7 "Counter"+4 HP+40 STR+6 AGI+9 DEX+2 AGI+2 MND+2 Not sure if -10 delay will make up for the loss of all these stats .... Offline

Could always switch out Usk. Somen +1 [5% Haste] for Cirque Capello +2 [6% Haste] would loose 1 DA and a few acc but thats about it.

Both give "Enhances Martial Arts effect gives Delay -10"
Which together would be the same as an extra Tier of Martial Arts. Really the best hand slot is probably tenryu tekko aug'd but i wasnt going to pull that 1 out seeing as so few own them. Delay reduction(Haste/Marches/DW/Martial Arts etc) is the strongest stat in the game. Disregarding it for stats that arent needed for the job in question isnt a good idea. What is pup used for now days? Abys/Dynamis & maybe solo some nms for fun? Cant really see accuracy being a bigger help than faster hits per round. Evasion? If you really need it use a hybrid evasion set. In a TP set though, focus should be gaining TP quickly & efficiently to spam ws.

I put together what my setup will look like soonish. I feel this is the best TP set for Pup Currently Well this is the exact setup i was just talking about, but yeah this is the most likely the most optimal atm.
edit: Still not positive about usu +1 head vs af3+2 though. for something like that you have to check if the skill gained brings you up a tier in dmg and i'd put a little consideration on the af3 set bonus *not a lot definitely, but worth mentioning*. if SE made it so set bonus for usu +1 works with partial sets, then that will change up some things.
