    Main: Vulcan's Staff
    Sub: Reaver Grip +1
    Weapon: Armageddon (90)
    Ammo: Bronze Bullet
    Head: MKD Hat MaB/WSDmg+2
    Neck: Ugga Pendant (Brew: Elemental Gorget)
    LEar: Hectate's Earring
    REar: Novio Earring
    Body: ACP Body MaB/QD
    Hands: Schultzen Mittens
    Lring: Stormsoul Ring
    Rring: Stormsoul Ring
    Back: Forban Cape
    Waist: Aquiline Belt | Elemental WS Belt (Unsure). Brew: Ele Belt. Fire Day/Weather: Korin Obi.
    Legs: Ambusher Hoes
    Feet: AF3+2 Boots

    AFAIK that should be best.
    Personally I'm missing Ambusher Hoes (Denali), Elemental Belt + Obi (Aquiline), Stormsoul Rings (Breeze Rings), Novio (Moldy) and Hectate (lolSuppa).

    Oh and Armageddon 90. But I'll get there soon.

    Don't forget Artemis' Medal will beat out Uggalepih pendant during certain moon phases, and Uggalepih pendant needs to be active (<50% MP) to add MAB (mainly only important when /Mage)!

    Yup, Uggy is triggrered by the MP on Mirke Wardecors assuming no MP merits and a real subjob. Artemis medal adds +0 (New Moon) to +10 (Full Moon) making it at best equal to Uggy. Unless the data on Wiki and BG is incorrect?

    Uggalepih is a static +8, Artemis wins whenever it is +9, +10, or +8 itself actually since it would still give Macc.

    Which gear set is the best largely depending on the SJ you use, or whether you popped MAB temp/roll or not. If you SJ SAM and don't have MAB buff used, most likely MAB gears will outperform AGI gears, and if you SJ RDM + used wizards, most likely AGI gear will win.

    Probably also depend on mob INT also.

    Waist slot has an AGI+7 belt, it should beat aquiline most of the time.
    I'm not sure if MKE head is also the best outside of Abyssea when your WS dmg reduced a lot, personally I can't test it since I augmented for slug shot long time ago.
    W legs HQ can augment up to MAB+6, which maybe has the potential to beat Ambushers if you /SAM and no MAB buff.

    Sveltesse Gouriz wins out inside and outside of Abyssea. I get 100 extra damage on Wildfire.
    If you are unable to get this, Aquiline Belt and Soil Belt both deliver the exact same damage numbers. Aquiline wins out on the accuracy department.

    As for necklace, Artemis' Medal wins out over Uggalepih Pendant on full moon.

    Other than that, the gear set seems sound.

    I would understand Sveltesse winning out over Aquiline but does it really give 100 damage more? For most sitiations it seems 1MAB is about equivalent to 2 AGI. So the difference between 7 AGI and 3 MAB should be about 1AGI (2 at the most). I can't see how 1 AGI accounts for 100 damage on a WS especially when with cruor buffs most people are into the 100's of AGI already.

    Also worth noting as well as the additions made by other people, Alruna's Gloves > Schultzen Mittens, and I have absolutely no idea whatsoever on which is best between MaB/WSDmg Anwig Salade or Pandinus Beret.
