TP set since A.P.+2?

for your SA/WS gear, if you had Hecatomb gear before, find a friend with a high level in synergy and you can augment that to be still pretty competitive, without having to find all the new stuff. I think that heca +1 feet with the best luck and HQ augment are the best in slot for SA and DE/Evis/MS.

The way I see it in the general sense, the Perle/Teal/Aurore gear is absolute minimum base line past 75. Anything less (beyond situational AF, Relic and other very obvious exceptions) is out-right. Next level comes Empy +1 (90+ standard), tied with Relic +2 (often macroed peices), and then Empy+2 (99 standard). When you start going for high quality, that is where the top tier VW bodies and Relic/Mythic/Empy weapons start coming into play. Naturally every job is different, but when I am checking out a player, this is the standard I base them on.

Heca is absolute trash for Stand-Alone SA. Since if you use it, You're essentially going from 25% Haste, to -38% Haste (Heca+1 Set, not including body). Even for just 1 hit, thats a huuuuuuuuuge smash on your DPS. For a Solo Sneak Attack, and good Set would be...

Head - Aias Bonnet
Body - Loki's/Athos Tabard
Hands - Empyrean +2
Legs - Athos
Feet - Athos

As far as visible pieces go anyway.

Edit: For THF, you'll probably be stuck with this a baseline TP Set:

W.Turban
R.Harness
Dusk+1 Gloves
Aurore Legs
Dusk+1 Feet

For your Visible TP set. Dusk+1 is really cheap these days, that gives you 19% Haste, Needing 6 from other slots to cap. (7 techn), Tiercal Necklace + Goading Belt is good. Or Just a speed/Velo belt.

You'll want Twilight Later on of course. This is just temporary!

Sorry, I should have clarified. Apart from Bully while soloing (and only if I used SA 40 secs before attacking so I can SAWS while bully is still active), I only ever use stand alone SA or TA on mobs that don't want a lot of DPS on, we are trying to proc before zerging, Have a big AOE that's going to wipe my taru ass if I'm in range too often, or the mob is going to die before I have TP for next ws, but we want TH upgrade. If I have TP, I'll run in and TA Exen then solo SA and run out of range. No need for extra swings, so the slow is irrelevant.

With 20-30 seconds to get tp on most mobs I'll just stack SA with DE (outside) or Evis (inside) and TA with Exen. Even popping a solo WS if timers are still high.

I'm so glad that they fixed the TH upgrades to work on WS XD

Edit: after re-reading my post that you quoted, I actually meant for those WS when they are stacked with SA. Like I just mentioned, I solo SA to rarely that I don't even have a separate gear set for it anymore.
