Does anyone have a suggestion for a decent melee gear set-up, and a WS-gear set-up as well?

Claustrum is the biggest waste of gil, time, and effort to ever be made. If you really want to burn the time, read it's mods and put something together in an item set.

There was a SMN named Vipey on Titan who used to do a lot of melee solo/farming with her Claustrum. She'd probably be able to help with sets, but I think she quit about a year ago =/
It's not "useless," as people say, it just has very limited uses and you pretty much need to adjust your whole play style to get anything out of it. If I knew more about SMN and BLM gear, I'd try to help you come up with something. If you're gonna get a useless weapon, why not just waste time getting staff empy?
OP allready got the staff.
Respect for that :p But yeah, just TP in haste gear and ws in STR/CHR/attack gear <_> 60% CHR mod Offline

Edit: lol....
As Shiroi said TP in haste, WS in the mods.
But, and there's always a but... Well, here's the thing. Empyreans are easy and super fast to make. So thats less of an effort/time/gil put it. Of course Claustrum will trump the other staffs for melee well maybe not Empyrean(another topic though). But can you really warrant spending 150M+ gil on a Claustrum. Totally hypothetical build off the top of my head for TPing, could be better pieces for some slots.
This is if you don't care about -perp or swapping staves for BPs etc. Offline

@ the "don't get it" and "why do you want it?" folks:
As Kvazz said, OP already has the staff. He/she is looking for suggestions on gear sets for TP and WS. I'm sure most (sad that I have to say "most") relic holders are aware they should TP in haste and WS in STR + mods. To be honest, I'm curious if anyone will come up with decent sets. I'm trying to look around, but I'm not having a lot of luck (particularly with the TP phase). Once you get a cycle of aftermath refresh going from using Gate of Tartarus, you won't really need any other staves other than macroing in perhaps Bahamut's Staff for +skill.
Does the aftermath effect continue after weapon swapping, or must the Claustrum remain equipped at all times?

Does the aftermath effect continue after weapon swapping, or must the Claustrum remain equipped at all times? I always swap into shareeravadi +2 (+12 pet mab) for magic BPs, which messes up TP but could use physical BPs with no staff swap without losing out on much.

Does the aftermath effect continue after weapon swapping, or must the Claustrum remain equipped at all times? Pretty sure you gotta fulltime it. People used to use catastrophe for the aftermath, then swap into bzaghnal etc for zergs, but it doesnt work anymore I think Bummer. Well at least 8/tick refresh is fair compensation for solo capacity, and as noted by Kuni, physical BPs don't suffer too much from the lack of a weapon swap. Best of luck on your relic build Luna.
Most relics seem underwhelming at first, but mainly because they require catering your gear and play style to make them function at full capacity. I recall the most amazing white mage needing to melee to get the most out of the Mjollnir, that in combination with Mystic Boon, they were a great healer and extremely self-sufficient in MP recovery as well. Something like this for WS maybe? i'm assuming it's a physical WS
Aqua belt/gorget works too Siren.Kunimatsu said: Totally hypothetical build off the top of my head for TPing, could be better pieces for some slots. This is if you don't care about -perp or swapping staves for BPs etc. Also, in addition to the WS set posted, I'd swap Tiphia Sting to Smart Grenade or Light Sachet since one-hit WS tend to have capped accuracy. That's all I can think of for now. I think the previous posters pretty much nailed it. Ninurta's sash If you're gonna waste gil on Claustrum, why not go all the way with that haste set?!

I still have to ask "Why?"
Even Mjollnir would make more sense. Siren.Kyte said: I still have to ask "Why?" Even Mjollnir would make more sense. Not everything have to make sense. If I had a shitload of gil, I'd make one aswell :P So this is what I am currently using as TP-set.
Any suggestions how to improve are more than welcome. Royal Redingote is augmented with 10 Acc, 10 Att Rajas Ring will be obtainable again in about 14 days. Ninurta's sash, unless it breaks your hit build. Also, you made Claustrum, so seriously, you can't consider this "Unobtainable" since you can buy it for one-third of the price.
