If you intend to work on a build piece by piece, the best way would be to start by showing others what you currently have atm.

The reason there are varying sets is due to the fact not everyone has access to some gear or does the same events as others.
Depending on the kind of things you do in game (Abyssea VS Voidwatch with/without temp. items, for example), you may also find yourself needing more/less Accuracy, Attack and whatnot.

I don't think starting a whole new topic about VS will get you very far, as most people on forum are trying to keep the same arguments to the same topic, and would rather hand out short replies on the "official" one than start a whole new "dedicated to you" topic.

Either way, for a quick response, you should really state whether you have access to VW/NNyzul/Legion gear. GL

If you want the best set use
Thaumas:Head,Leg,Feet
Raja Ring,Epona
Rancour mantle/Justi~~~ torque
Prosilio belt/Potestas bomblet
Mustela/Provenance watcher hand item.
Brutal/tp Bonus or Str+4 or Atk+9 in order.


If you want OMG numbers occasionally but lose averages in the long run

Thaumas body
Rancor collar+Atheling
Beir+1 or (Dynamis buburiam) Str+5 Dbl atk +3 belt.

For someone who won't see Thaumus feet for quite some time, would Kacura Leggings +1 be the 2nd best option for feet?

I'm gonna jump in and post my VS set as well... which is probably very outdated...



Kabuto has STR+4 WS Damage+2% augment
Ammo: I have Potestas Bomblet as well...
Earring: I have Aesir also.
Hands: I have Heafoc and Melee +2 as well...
Belt: I have Black Belt

Possible upgrades I was thinking of, aside from Thaumus which will take quite a while...

Kacura Leggings +1 (STR/DEX+6, Critical Hit Rate +2%)

Some combination of moving things around the back/waist/neck slots... I see a lot of people suggesting either Rancorous/Nefarious/Prosillo or Rancorous/Justicar's/Prosillo... not sure which would be better - and I'd miss that 8-9% double attack....

I wanna question this set real quick...

Hands: Heofoc? Myrmex? How do these three line up?

Feet: Will Thaumas (3/5) beat out Kacura +1?

Waist: Wanion vs. Prosilio?

Ammo should also be Potestas and Rajas should be Pyrosoul I think

Mustela hands are really nice. Wanion is pretty sweet also, id use it if i had it. Thaumas feet will always win.

Hands: Mustela will beat myrmex when acc/attack are capped. If I had myrmex, I would likely be full timing them for WS outside of acc and attack both being capped. I don't have access to kinematics at the moment, so I am not certain if 10 attack would be better than 2 DA in the long run for acc capped/attack uncapped.

Feet: This slot still gives me trouble. I'm inclined to use kacura+1 when berserk/impetus caps attack, since that nulls the attack on thaumas feet. However, assuming one is WS'ing in thaumas head/legs/feet all at once--thaumas feet give 6 DEX over kacura+1, which has a chance of providing 1% extra crit rate when dDEX is positive. Seeing as the only DEX in my berserk/imp up set would potentially be coming from thaumas feet and the set bonus though, I can't imagine dDEX ever being positive on anything outside of fodder mobs, which I'd likely be using spharai on anyway.

Waist: Wanion when attack is capped, prosilio otherwise is what I have been using.

Hi all, i've been using the following set's:-

Impetus up/atk. cap


Impetus up/atk.uncap


For acc uncap i've just been using Breeze gorget/waist and AF2+2 hands,
Toci's also when impetus is down for all builds.
Other than possibly Khepri kecks and Mustela gloves (atk.cap) anything else i could improve upon? Any advice is welcome, thx in advance.

Edit:- Is there any place anymore for Nomkahpa Mitts in tp builds outside of Junk mobs?

Pretty sure that's the only place it ever had, and will continue to until HQ hexed pieces and augments become more realistic, the new belt is added, or another haste + non-acc/att related TP buff option comes out on monk hands.

Edit: And I guess to be clear; these would be used in all attack/acc capped situations for TP phase, in conjugation with replacing Ganesha/Brisk with Thaumas head. This would include 'junk mobs', but also things like ADL zergs, where you're likely buffed to the hilt with songs/rolls.
