Best set I've found so far while tweaking pieces at http://www.ariyala.com/ffxiv/gear.html , but requires two T5 drops, two T4 drops, and the EM Ifrit loot.

With Lecreuset's suggestions this is the best set I've come up with as well. Perfect T5 accuracy cap and a great amount of crit. Definitely one of the harder sets to attain given the T5/Ifrit loot, but again, almost certainly the best set we can put together.Allagan Bow

No reason to run Coil once you have all that. Heh
I'm slowly but surely inching towards perfection. Unfortunately my server is slow when it comes to progression so Ifrit wrists probably won't happen for a bit. On the bright side, I'm sitting at 575 critical hit rate with food and maintaining the needed accuracy for T5 which I'm still going to need since my FC is slow to clear it. I still wonder how high I will have to take my stats just to be able to make 2 star foods a worthwhile investment.
Just a quick comparison, the quoted set gives:
224 DEX
121 ACC
185 CRIT
42 DET
87 S.Spd
Mine:
222 DEX
123 ACC
182CRIT
67 DET
50 S.Spd
I am sacrificing 2 points of DEX for 25 points of DET. I prioritize CRIT followed by DET, while largely ignore Skill Speed. I have 3 points of CRIT lower but 3 points doesn't matter, I have 2 points of ACC. Of course this set, like the original set, would need food that boosts accuracy since it is a little shy of the +131 acc required from gears.
If anyone is interested, mine is easier to obtain since I need less Allagan drops (3 less drops)
