THF Weaponskill Heading
NQ Gear Sets
You'll be spending lots of time in Ambuscade, Geas Fete, and finishing up the last story content, and if you haven't already you'll have lots of Domain Invasion to do. Also expect to spend quite a bit of gil!

These sets target Apex Bats (ilvl 135, 1224 evasion), with /WAR, Sole Sushi, capped magic haste, and Madrigal II. Self-skillchaining should be reliable (a skillchain requires 10s or less between WS's).

Stats
TP set gives 410 DPS with 1278 accuracy, 7.7 secs to WS.
Hybrid set gives 40% PDT and 13% MDT, and 353 DPS with 1295 accuracy, 9.0 secs to WS.
This is actually a substantial DPS loss, because it's not including WS damage. You're both 17% slower to WS and can no longer reliably self-SC.
DT set gives 51% PDT and 21% MDT, and 265 DPS with 1350 accuracy, 10.9 secs to WS.

Evisceration averages 9788 damage.
SA+Rudra's averages 14117 damage.
Dancing Edge averages 3212 damage, 5396 total when including the skillchain.
Aeolian Edge does 3688 damage.

Stats vs Soundsplitter Bats to compare to BBQ/0Q:
TP set gets 670 DPS, 7.7 secs to WS.
Evisceration averages 12017 damage.
SA+Rudra's averages 17510 damage.
Aeolian Edge does 3785 damage.

  • shijo is path D.

  • Adhemar pieces are path B. lustratio subligar is path B. lustratio leggings are path D.

  • Toutatis's cape always has DEX+30, Acc/Atk+20, PDT -10%, but for each set the bottle of Abdhaljs sap augment is different: +10 Store TP for TP set, +10% Crit Rate for Evisceration, and +10% Weaponskill Damage for Stacked Rudra's, Dancing Edge, and Aeolian Edge. Dancing Edge actually performs a tiny bit better with a 10% DA augment, but who has time for that many capes?

  • moonshade earring has TP Bonus +250 augment. The other augment is your choice, but I recommend MAB +4 for Aeolian Edge.

  • rawhide vest is path A for DEX/INT for Aeolian Edge. pursuer's cuffs is path B.

  • If you really enjoy cleaving, instead of a DEX/Acc/Atk/WSD Toutatis's cape you can get a INT/Macc/MDmg/WSD cape for Aeolian Edge.

  • Once again, Aeolian Edge sets are nearly disjoint from other sets. Plan accordingly.

  • Consider DT swaps for your weaponskills when doing fights with heavy AoE damage. You can get hit while weaponskilling!

Ambuscade Tauret, Mummu wrists +2, meghanada gloves +2, Mummu ring, Toutatis's cape (see below), Mummu gamashes +2

Quests / Missions perfect lucky egg, moonshade earring, Karieyh ring +1
Potpourri malevolence, seething bomblet +1, fotia gorget, defending ring, mujin band, fotia belt, friomisi earring, chaac belt
  • Adhemar pieces are path B. lustratio subligar +1 is path B. Gleti's and Nyame are unaugmented. assassin's gorget +1 is fully augmented. Herculean gear is INT/MAB/WSD for Aeolian Edge.

  • moonshade earring has TP Bonus +250 augment. The other augment is your choice, but I recommend MAB +4 for Aeolian Edge.

  • Toutatis's cape generally has DEX+30, Acc/Atk+20, PDT -10%, but for each set the last augment is different: +10 Store TP for all TP sets, +10% Crit Rate for Evisceration, and +10% Weaponskill Damage for Rudra's and Dancing Edge. Aeolian Edge cape is INT+30, Macc/Mdmg+20, WSD+10%, PDT-10%.

  • In high buff situations you'll want to use 10% Crit cape for TP for substantial white damage DPS gain. 10% Crit vs 10 Store TP is already pretty close here.

  • Both TP sets are highly affected by dDEX. If you're fighting easier targets, hetairoi ring is better than Ilabrat ring.

  • The Evisceration set is also impacted by dDEX for crit rate, on easier targets you may find pillager's culottes +3 gives you a tiny improvement for Evisceration.

  • sacro mantle and mujin band (replacing Mummu ring) are great swaps for Evisceration when closing skillchains.

  • Shark Bite, Exenterator, and Mandalic Stab all work best for skillchaining Exenterator, which you only bother with when you have Aeneas. Or for skillchaining Mandalic Stab if you have Vajra. So we're not covering them here. If you really want to make them work, use the Dancing Edge set, but swap out fTP neck/belt for the Rudra's pieces.

  • Have DT swaps for your weaponskills! (I'd probably go with malignance gloves and defending ring)

  • If you're interested in further pushing the DT set for more evasion, magic evasion, or MDT, consider malignance boots, skulker's poulaines +2, yamarang, and/or a Magic Evasion Toutatis's cape.

  • adhemar wristbands +1 path A are actually 2% better for high-acc TP, but it doesn't seem worth the inventory / gil.

  • plunderer's vest +3 will be better than Pillager's for TP with at least 3 merits in Ambush. Remember that's only true if you're behind your target!
