ok so currently this is my tp set
however i see a lot of thfs tp in fuzzy pants (calmecac)..
i cant figure a way to get 26% haste w/o using rapidus and using calmecac or should i not even bother...
my parses on VT crawlers in rolanberry fields(s) show that the top is better. any advice?
Fuzzy Pants Yes Or No?
You must be logged in to do that.

The 3% TA on triplus alone beats the 2%TA/2%DA on calmecacs, let alone the higher base damage/TA damage, and the crit rate you are losing from AF3 legs. Go with the first set.
edit: also, you'd be better off using triplus in the second set anyways (if it was even better than the first set), as the 3% TA is much better than 0.2-0.4% haste you get from rapidus.

Usually use triplus main hand when needing thf knife over Kila+2, but this is what I had set and didn't want to change it.

This set is -far- from optimal.
This set is the better of the two, but look into Dusk Ledelsens +1 if you dont need the acc.

The feet, the hands, and the combination of gear you stated, no.

You shouldn't TP in AF3 feet, as they provide no benefit but set proc(rare and not worth relying on). I would go
Cavaros >> Atheling
Feet >> Ballerines/Ryuga Sune ate/Dusk+1
Hands >> AF3+2
Cavaros >> Atheling
Feet >> Ballerines/Ryuga Sune ate/Dusk+1
Hands >> AF3+2

Oh, forgot about +2 gloves, my bad :X

Looking at my THF after this one makes me think "I'm bad and I should feel bad". This is close to my ideal setup I had in mind though.
Just prioritizing other jobs atm :P

And to be honest, as of late, I prefer cav mantle and raider's earring.
I Can't see 3% Critical hit Damage beating 20 Attack and 3% Double Attack.
So Cavaros is out of the picture... I tend to use Raider's Earring inside Abyssea... Though I'm relatively certain 34% to 35% Triple attack is probably not better than 5% Dbl to 10% Dbl.

umm i think its the sacrifices u need to make in other slots to keep that 25~26% haste that do it. cause i couldnt get 26% haste w/o using ballerines and rapidus. unless i use zelus >.>
Maybe BRD if you don't need the 2% extra haste from haidate or the ~15 acc.

Best brd tp legs atm!

Yeah but the Dbl/Tpl attack destroys str and vit from Jingang lol
Tiercel Necklace will cap your haste too. The 5% dmg increase on crit hits vs 1%(cap) haste...? I'm not sure of the difference, but it is another option of gear spot and much better than downgrading your headpiece. I would still use rancor for your ws, but as far as tp... It may be worth testing.
I can't think of any real situation where raiders is better than brutal. It would really need a crazy (unachievable) base TA rate to dethrone the gain from 5% DA (and 1 stp - lol).
Out of curiosity, why dusk +1 and not homam feet?
I think the reason you see THF (like me) using Calcemac's is simply they (me again) don't have the +2 legs yet.

The set was made with capped accuracy in mind. Ryuga would be better than Homam if your accuracy was uncapped, on say a mob like Dragua? Or any evasive mob at that, not that there's much accuracy problems in Abyssea besides a few specific NMs.

And maybe if you were using RR Apoc Lion and TA waist, raiders earring, calmecac + Triplus + Demonry ring to stack it all ridiculously high it might pull ahead of brutal idk, never tried.
48% TA Rate lol
The way he worded I was under the impression he meant for "TP Phase". Course Cavaros may have some situation... But i don't think its general TP :X

Forgive my ignorance, but why Dusk +1 feet over Relic +2 feet?
