You tailor everything to what action you're doing, but I suppose I can give a few examples of the major sets to work with. Are AF3+1s out of the question as well, or just +2s & high-class weapons like Almace/Excalibur/etc?

TP:
Main: Honorbound
Shield: Seigneur Shield
Ranged/Ammo: Smart Grenade (sad but true, throw us a bone SE, I want a decent TP ammo!)
Head: Zelus' Tiara > Askar Zucchetto (assuming twilight's out of the picture as well)
Neck: Creed Collar / Fortitude Torque / Zeal Charm > Peacock Charm (Do you need the auto-refresh vs. do you need the accuracy?)
Ears: Brutal / Ethereal > Suppa
Body: Haubergeon +1
Hands: Homam Manopolas
Rings: Rajas / Toreador's
Back: Atheling Mantle
Waist: Goading Belt
Legs: Perle brayettes (most would say Homam are better. For Pld's 1-handed sword, I feel acc is more important here)
Feet: Homam Gambieras.

Vorpal Blade:
Ammo: Olibanum / Flame Sachet
Head: Champion's Galea (WS.Acc+15 / STR+4 & Acc+10/Att+5 augments) / Hecatomb Cap (+1)
Neck: Thunder/Soil Gorget
Ears: Brutal / Centaurus
Body: Haubergeon +1
Hands: Hecatomb Mittens (+1) > Perle Moufles
Rings: Rajas / Toreador's
Back: Atheling
Belt: Thunder/Soil Belt / Anguinus Belt > Sentry Belt
Legs: Ares's flanchard > Hecatomb Subligar (+1) > Perle Brayettes
Feet: Hecatomb Leggings (+1) > Perle Solerets

Rings: Odium / Hercules'
Back: Cerberus Mantle (+1) / Valor Cape
Waist: Goading Belt
Legs: Homam Cosciales
Feet: Homam Gambieras

Cure:
Ammo: Incantor Stone
Head: Adaman Barbuta (Aug'd from [A]-Tahrongi, personally have Cure Potency+5% & Spell interruption-2%, saw an exact replica of this in a gold box the other day)
Neck: Invidia Torque
Ears: Hospitaler / Ethereal
Body: Iron Ram Hauberk
Hands: Iron Ram Dastanas
Rings: Odium / Meridian / Hercules (I like using the Meridian for the extra ceiling room when I'm near-capped HP)
Back: Valor Cape / Boxer's mantle
Waist: Creed Baudrier
Legs: Homam Cosciales
Feet: Gallant Leggings (+1)

Ichi:
Ammo: Incantor Stone
Head: Zelus Tiara > Veloce Zuchetto > Walmart Bag

MDT-:
Main: N/A
Sub: Seigneur Shield
Ammo: [Element] Sachet
Head: Iron Ram Sallet
Neck: Twilight Torque > Katipo Charm
Ears: Merman's / Ethereal
Body: Iron Ram Hauberk
Hands: Iron Ram Dastanas
Rings: Merman's Rings x2 (or aug'd dark rings from Konschtat)
Back: Colossus's Mantle (Resentment doesn't work in abyssea, sadly)
Waist: Creed Baudrier (Magic Defense = MDT-)
Legs: Coral Cuisses (+1)
Feet: Iron Ram Greaves
Remember: You need -23~24% (Magic) damage taken in gear to cap the effect when paired with Shellra V. You need to do that before attempting to stack Magic Def. Bonus

PDT-
Main: Shamshir +2 (VIT+10 / PDT-10% augments)
Sub: Koenig Shield (Shamshir +2 when fighting Ironclads, as regular attacks are TP moves & cannot be shield blocked)

Neck: Twilight Torque / Creed Collar
Ears: Brutal / Ethereal
Body: Darksteel Harness (+1)
Hands: Heavy Gaunlets
Rings: Jelly / Meridian
Back: Metallon Mantle

Legs: Blitzer Poleyn (PDT-4% / Movement Speed+8% augments)
Feet: Ruffian Leggings
-Kiting:
Main: Earth / Terra's staff
Sub: Eisen Grip.

These are just a few examples of gear setups, without using any upgraded creed pieces or other luxuries such as Valhalla, Defending / Mars's / Minerva's rings. There's no such thing as "full-time gear" on paladin. If you aren't blinking like a christmas tree, you're doing it wrong.
