Because every mnk I see that has NNI gear is using Thaumas hat and head, I figured partially for the set bonus, although I don't know offhand how much STR and DEX you get from that. I don't have a parser myself which is why I was asking if anyone could validate the claims the other parse was making at that time. For now, my other options are either Tantra head +2, Athos hat, or Maat's cap. I assumed for now Maat's Cap, crit hit or no crit hit hidden, was still better for me than Athos hat alone, as Athos alone only gives me 1 more str, and 7 less dex.(I don't have any other Athos gear to combine with hat for set bonus yet either...) So basically, this is what I have to work with at the moment:
Light earring is augmented with crit hit rate +1 until I finish WoTG for moonshade, I also have Tantra tathlum, Thew bomblet, and Black belt as other options to swap in, and AF2+2 hands for if need more acc/attk. Still need to get Epony ring, and 0 luck getting Toci's thus far. Due to dex being a factor for critical hit damage/rate (at least generally speaking) ( I know I need to upgrade pants still also... just using these at moment for the 10 acc and attk...)
(I also wouldn't be asking questions if I was confident I made the right gear choices 100% of the time lol...)
