I was always 'that thief' that had a sa/ta/ws(for each)/tp/eva/racc set and looking to regear them all; anyone have any links to a decent 'gear guide'?
    No no god no, People who fulltime one set are still gimp morons who should be euthanized. You'll want to keep a SA / TA / SAWS / TAWS set etc etc.

    Theres a lot of new TP Gear out, But to keep it REALISTIC for you? Check out my post on the first page. Go for your Empyrean +2 First. Empyrean+2 Head/body/hands/legs and some Haste feet are Acceptable for a good start. +2 Relic Feet are good replacement.

    Theres a lot to take it, but empyrean+2 is your best starting point.

    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!

    As he said, it's "baseline". There's several ways to improve on this, but that's all very easy to get (pretty much zero effort/time, only farming the right subligar, which, at this level, is a joke). Eventually you'll want some +2 gear and some other pieces that give you more Attack.

    Well, As Arcon said, Its a baseline. That set isn't awful, It can cap haste with a Twilight Belt, but there's upgrades. Aurore is actually an upgrade to Homam if you have the room, but... I'd work on Empyrean +2 Set first. Make that your main goal for now.

    I kinda liked how it looked when it first came out :X, now the color pink makes me rage.

    I've killed many a Colibri because of that.

    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.
