a) grip-- id like to imagine that with store tp build for xhit setup, im no math wiz so hoping some one posts a few xhit builds, that rose is the choice here, but where do the following grips come into play (i myself use pole as i was quit during campaigns hayday so ill probably work on it in the future)
-i) pole
-ii) rose
-iii) uthers
-iv) sword
-v) brave

b) ammo- i) fire bomblet
ii) bomb core
ii) white tathlum
c) {torcleaver ws} waist-snow belt? anguiness belt? warwolf? beir?

d) {torcleaver ws}neck- imagine id use snow here but if there is better alt by all means mention it

now with drk getting ja haste as a 3/4:10 upgrade, and riding emp AM would you still use an alternative hit set up vs what i have listed below to promote more dmg? an if so does it really surpass it overall keeping in mind any sacrifices from dropping hits/ODD aftermath/(lol)set bonus? plz post the gear and any other notes you feel are important

TP SET
caladbolg/pole/x/bomblet
bale+2/bale/bale/brutal
bale+2/bale+2/raja/keen(working on wotg soon for the excelsis)
atheling/goading/blitzer(7acc/3haste working on homam)/aces
WS SET (currently)
caladbolg/pole/x/bomblet(/core/bibiki shell?)
viking(working on twilight)/snow/brutal/bale (moonshade/tp bonus good call?)
ares/bale+2(working on heafoc)/raja(terrasoul?)/keen(raja/terrasoul?)
atheling/lolswd+1(i know i know)/bale+2/bale+2

im just really apprehensive about macroing in vit over str in a ws and hate major trade offs that arent justified with proof that say (example) using aurum body an such such an losing bale body or haste etc would outperform

That has my item sets for what i use

Pole almost always wins unless you can get STP to

A: Keep 7hit with Sword strap
B: get a 6hit with rose Strap

Snow belt and gorget are the best for the slots to infinity

i use an xbow and acid bolts when i can but other wise its all Bomblet

The big thing with torcleaver is capping attack so attack gear all the way and keep STR and VIT where you can
