Currently use 4/5 AF3+2 and Homam feet, seems to be pretty standard among Thfs (Haste capped with Twilight Belt).
However I started wondering recently about changing that to AF3+2 Head/Body + Homam Hands/Feet + Skadi Legs.

Wut?

Well, you maintain 26% Haste, but the STP will put Kila+2/Triplus (And Auric/Triplus) combos at 5TP/hit. Xhits aren't really worthwhile on DW jobs but that 5% is a very significant one. Possibly the only significant one. My question now is:
Does that increased WS frequency outweigh the (substantial) loveliness of AF3+2 hands and feet? (For refference you lose 8Str 13Att 15Dex 4Acc 5% Crit and Reduced Set bonus)
I'm leaning towards 4/5 + Homam feet doing better as Thf's dmg split is much more TP heavy normally, but thought I'd toss out the idea anyway.

(For refference the setup is 1STP short of making 176+176 (Eg Twatstar+Triplus) 5TP/hit.

Being too drunk to do any real math, my mad eyeballing skillz would say no. You would get to 100% one round sooner, but not all the time either, because of overshoots and misses. In fact, if you calculate 95% accuracy, 10 rounds will usually put you at 95% TP, not 100%. So the bonus would be minimal I think, but the malus quite noticeable. As I said, there's only 1% math in this, I'll check it out again later when I sobered up.

Another option been wondering on (That doesn't deserve a new topic):
I have a magian dagger that ages ago (before empy) I'd sent down the OAT/OA2-4 line before realising it was crap. It's not too late to change it into the DA+10 dagger though. So was wondering how a DA+10 Parazonium +2 would compare to a Str Kila+2?
Stats:
D45 Dly211 DA+10%
D43 Dly190 Str+9 Att+20

I would have innitially thought the DA dagger would win. Say a non-empy/relic/mythic thf has a what... 65/35 TP/WS dmg split?
10% DA 19% TA (AF3 head, triplus, ring), DA would give 7.3% increase to tp dmg, ws frequency and ws dmg, for 9.85% total increase which is pretty damn significant.
But looking into it a bit the DA dagger has lower DPS at 12.8 DPS compared to 13.6 of Kila, and I'm not really sure how much the str/att would increase a thf's ws/tp dmg compared to the DA.

There's also the chance that it might later be upgraded into an ODD weapon or triple attack weapon, possibly.

Thoughts?

Check out the damage spreadsheet (http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/forum.html?fjob=10&mid=1302591885208714538).

Checking quickly, Fire Kila+2 won in all my tests.
