THF Weaponskill Heading
| NQ Gear Sets |
You'll be spending lots of time in Ambuscade, Geas Fete, and finishing up the last story content, and if you haven't already you'll have lots of Domain Invasion to do. Also expect to spend quite a bit of gil!
These sets target Apex Bats (ilvl 135, 1224 evasion), with /WAR, Sole Sushi, capped magic haste, and Madrigal II. Self-skillchaining should be reliable (a skillchain requires 10s or less between WS's).
Stats
TP set gives 422 DPS with 1281 accuracy, 7.7 secs to WS.
Hybrid set gives 40% PDT and 13% MDT, and 361 DPS with 1298 accuracy, 9.0 secs to WS.
This is actually a substantial DPS loss, because it's not including WS damage. You're both 17% slower to WS and can no longer reliably self-SC.
DT set gives 51% PDT and 21% MDT, and 268 DPS with 1347 accuracy, 10.9 secs to WS.
Evisceration averages 9930 damage.
SA+Rudra's averages 14245 damage.
Dancing Edge averages 3268 damage, 5490 total when including the skillchain.
Aeolian Edge does 3688 damage.
Stats vs Soundsplitter Bats to compare to BBQ/0Q:
TP set gets 663 DPS, 7.7 secs to WS.
Evisceration averages 11792 damage.
SA+Rudra's averages 17350 damage.
Aeolian Edge does 3785 damage. |

shijo is path D.
Adhemar pieces are path B. lustratio subligar is path B. lustratio leggings are path D.
Toutatis's cape always has DEX+30, Acc/Atk+20, PDT -10%, but for each set the bottle of Abdhaljs sap augment is different: +10 Store TP for TP set, +10% Crit Rate for Evisceration, and +10% Weaponskill Damage for Stacked Rudra's, Dancing Edge, and Aeolian Edge. Dancing Edge actually performs a tiny bit better with a 10% DA augment, but who has time for that many capes?
moonshade earring has TP Bonus +250 augment. The other augment is your choice, but I recommend MAB +4 for Aeolian Edge.
rawhide vest is path A for DEX/INT for Aeolian Edge. pursuer's cuffs is path B.
If you really enjoy cleaving, instead of a DEX/Acc/Atk/WSD Toutatis's cape you can get a INT/Macc/MDmg/WSD cape for Aeolian Edge.
Once again, Aeolian Edge sets are nearly disjoint from other sets. Plan accordingly.
Consider DT swaps for your weaponskills when doing fights with heavy AoE damage. You can get hit while weaponskilling!

| HQ Gear Sets |
Almost all the content in the game is now at your disposal! Lots of new gear from Reisenjima, Sortie, high-tier HTBFs, and a couple key pieces from Odyssey. Missing content is the Sortie basement, Odyssey augments, and the mysterious bottomless coinpurse.
Base sets target Apex Bats (ilvl 135, 1224 evasion), with /WAR, 550 JP, Grape Daifuku, capped magic haste, and Madrigal II. Note a good BRD and COR in your party can greatly exceed these buffs, so these should be considered low-buff / attack-starved sets.
High-accuracy sets target Apex Idle Drifter (ilvl 142, 1502 evasion), same buffs.
Stats
TP set gives 1118 DPS with 1435 (main) / 1439 (off) accuracy, 7.2 secs to WS.
Hybrid set gives 31% PDT and 21% MDT, and 827 DPS with ~1511 accuracy, 7.2 secs to WS.
DT set gives 49% PDT and 39% MDT, and 558 DPS with ~1461 accuracy, 7.1 secs to WS.
Evisceration averages 12577 damage.
SA+Rudra's averages 17779 damage.
Dancing Edge averages 3947 damage, 7452 total when including the skillchain.

High-acc sets
TP high-acc set gives 806 DPS with ~1547 accuracy, 7.5 secs to WS.
Evisceration averages 9797 damage.
SA+Rudra's averages 16393 damage.

TP set gets 1446 DPS, 7.0 secs to WS.

Adhemar pieces are path B. lustratio subligar +1 is path B. Gleti's and Nyame are unaugmented. assassin's gorget +1 is fully augmented. Herculean gear is INT/MAB/WSD for Aeolian Edge.
moonshade earring has TP Bonus +250 augment. The other augment is your choice, but I recommend MAB +4 for Aeolian Edge.
Toutatis's cape generally has DEX+30, Acc/Atk+20, PDT -10%, but for each set the last augment is different: +10 Store TP for all TP sets, +10% Crit Rate for Evisceration, and +10% Weaponskill Damage for Rudra's and Dancing Edge. Aeolian Edge cape is INT+30, Macc/Mdmg+20, WSD+10%, PDT-10%.
Both TP sets are highly affected by dDEX. If you're fighting easier targets, telos earring is better than Odr earring. Ilabrat ring and hetairoi ring are also swappable based on dDEX.
The Evisceration set is also impacted by dDEX for crit rate, on easier targets pillager's culottes +3 will be better.
sacro mantle and mujin band (replacing Mummu ring) are great swaps for Evisceration when closing skillchains.
Shark Bite, Exenterator, and Mandalic Stab all work best for skillchaining Exenterator, which you only bother with when you have Aeneas. Or for skillchaining Mandalic Stab if you have Vajra. So we're not covering them here. If you really want to make them work, use the Dancing Edge set, but swap out fTP neck/belt for the Rudra's pieces.
Have DT swaps for your weaponskills! (I'd probably go with malignance gloves and defending ring)
If you're interested in further pushing the DT set for more evasion, magic evasion, or MDT, consider malignance boots, skulker's poulaines +2, yamarang, and/or a Magic Evasion Toutatis's cape.
plunderer's vest +3 will be better than Pillager's for TP with at least 3 merits in Ambush. Remember that's only true if you're behind your target!
