TP - Inside Abyssea, it will depend on your Atma choice. The two predominant Atma styles are triple synergy (RR/AO/AA) which gives you 25% triple attack combining with gear/merits to give you ~44% and heavy critical (RR/SS/GH) which gives +60% damage on criticals with a +50% rate. You should aim for either a full AF3+2 or 4/5 with a haste piece on feet depending on which Atma combination you go with. Ryuga Sune-ate are the ideal feet in the 4/5 build with Homam being second.

For accessories use Love Torque or Tiercel Necklace depending on which gear set you use, then Rajas Ring or Demonry Ring depending on gear set, Epona's Ring, Twilight Belt, Atheling Mantle, Suppanomimi, Brutal, and Raider's Boomerang.

Outside Abyssea your triple attack rate is too low to justify 5/5 so always cap haste using the foot slot. How you go about that depends on your accuracy. I like to use Calmecac Trousers with Ancient Torque and Ballerines when my accuracy is fine. However keeping Raider's Culottes +2 with Ryuga Sune-Ate, and Love Torque is generally safe.

SA - Aias Bonnet, Loki's Kaftan, Love Torque (or Kubira Beads), Thunder Pearls, Thundersoul Rings, Hecatomb Subligar (or Tumbler Trunks or Matre Bragezann), Cuchulain's Belt, Lithe Boots. I've heard for WS, it is best to keep Atheling on compared to Nifty for the Double Attack but for straight sneak you can switch it in.

TA - Maat's Cap (or Bersail Cap or Denali Bonnet), Loki's Kaftan, Arctier's Torque, Breezesoul Rings, Rogue Armlets +1, Ambusher's Hose, Crudelis Belt, Raider's Poulaines +2. I personally like to keep Atheling Mantle on for the attack since a lot less of the AGI gear comes with attack when compared to DEX gear.
