Serpent belt isn't necessary either, so whatever you can get with relevant stats would be better. Veteran's Field Belt for str/acc, Scarlet Sash for piety, Explorer's Belt for crit, raptorskin melded with -enmity, etc.
When I used the lieutenant spear, the earring was my filler for set bonus. No better options for that sadly, but at least it's only compromising 5 atk.
As far as piety, you can go with double melded int/pie pants (which could also be useful for blm and maybe mnk) or double str/vit (also good for war, mnk, maybe pld). If you go with double str pants, you can probably swap out at least one str ring for piety. AF pants are better than any single meld though.
You'll be at roughly the str cap for mogfork (330str/290pie roughly) if you swap in a rubellite bracelet. To further augment piety you can eat Jerked Beef for attak power or Stuffed Cabbage for accuracy. You'll get 7 more piety in addition to the atk/acc, which will put you pretty close to piety cap as well.
When you upgrade to either serpent lieutenant or garuda's spear, the caps will go up to about 350/310, so double melded pants and bracers will help a lot there.
