You're kidding?
Lieutenant Overcoat, Lieutenant Hat, Choker and one random piece. I would say Bracelet because you might lose -4 STR OR PIE (assume you use HQ Bracelet) but in return you get +45 Hp and +25 ATK from the spear. That's the set I'm running with and the Crit damage is HUGE. Any piece from Grand Company (Green) will meet the requirement.
The weapon is largely dependent on your clothes. If you got full DL, use Garuda. If you got plenty of good GC pieces along with good melded pieces, use Lieutenant.
Honestly I was thinking either Head Body Earring Neck (The earring is best for Monk, and for Dragoon you miss out on 5 attack power.) Or Head Earring Neck Bracer, this way you could still double meld a Cobalt/Darksteel Hauby for more PIE.
Head, Earring, Neck, Bracer will likely be the best combo I can get, as it won't screw up the 32 PIE I have on my body, and I still wind up with a net gain on Accuracy and Piety that way.
Trident
Storm Sergeant's Hose
Storm Segeant's Belt
Storm Sergeant's Earring
Storm Sergeant's Bracelet
Would be a pretty good selection I think to meet the 5 piece requirement.
I'd rather not mess with my head/hands because i have darklight for both of those. The only real loss here is the pants. and I suppose the belt as well, but I've been using the Veteran's Field Belt, but i think company bonuses more than make up for the loss of both.
What are you using for your neck that makes it worth preserving?
Hat and Overcoat gives 25PIE and 10STR...losing 10STR and 36PIE :/ For one focusing more on caps, this does not end well without DL Caligae :3
It's still a net loss of 16 Piety with the loss of a bracelet, which, considering that I'm still under cap, will be a painful loss.
To compensate, I'd have to sacrifice a STR ring, so yes, the result is a loss in STR. About 10 STR to be exact. Doing it without the coat results in a Piety gain for a loss of about 2 STR. It's the Critical Attak Power I'll miss.
Depends on whether you have crit rating in your build or not, +120 Crit ATK is nearly triple meld grade IV while +36 PIE is still double meld grade IV. It's probably the biggest sell point for the Lieutenant set actually.
It makes Impulse Drive crit as much as Talon.
P.S: that was done without Power Surge.

I would say get Mog Fork, dump acc necklace (it's terrible) for a Gorget HQ. Yes, Lieutenant Trident is better, but it may require more grinding so it's all depend on you. Your current setup doesn't have much STR/PIE to tap in high DPS stat, so don't worry about it much. I use Explorer Moccasins (with Explorer Tool Belt as well) in my build mainly because I focus on Crit ATK as much as STR (343 STR 290 PIE +135 Crit Atk), but for your build just use AF feet.
