I hope to hell that's not the set you used, especially if you auto-magically set attack to capped in both cases. The JR set has more ranged attack in it's macro, the LS set is going for pure AGI.
If you set attack to capped then lots of gear in the JR set is worthless.
Talk about biased.
5% Base27% crit rate is probably going to be pretty hard to come by.
5% Merits
Only need 17% more, and you can guarantee that WS is at least 15% @100 if not more. There also is +3% crit rate in that set and their not using the tonberry mantle to get another +5%. Gearing for dex increase's dDex, shouldn't be hard to cap dDex when it's also your WSC. No testing has really been done which is sad, so until there is evidence to the contrary we must assume dDex works in both cases because +crit obvious does. So assuming 0 from dDex we get at least 33% crit rate in JR. Doesn't look nearly so difficult now.
-Edit-
Completely forgot about Athos's set bonus. Swap in Athos's hands, your losing 3 DEX but gaining 7 STR and crit +3%. Also +0.06 fTP 50% of the time (Light / Thunder / Wind / Fire Days). Makes it 6.012 for a 35% fTP favor on 50% of the days, and the other 50% you might want to swap out for the DEX hands. Brings us to 36~37% Crit rate without dDex being involved, and that 8~9% crit damage. Don't know if it would be better to keep the Athos's hands on during the non-alignment days for the 1% crit rate. Actually it would be, with how fSTR2 works it would be another 3.5 fSTR while only losing 1.5 WSC.
And FFS Lithe Boots! with Athos's body? Use Athos's boots for +10 DEX / AGI (4 DEX gain) and another +1% Crit rate.
Also you use a 6AGI 6STR back piece for LS set, yet use a 20 R.Attack piece for the JR set, then set Ratio to auto-magically capped. JR should use the +Crit back piece, if that's not available then there is a 4~5 STR / DEX piece somewhere.
