[DeadManWalking]

Hi there.

So I quit playing about 3 years ago and decided to return and play this game again (so bare with me). Back then I left my NIN at level 55 and that's what I decided to continue when I started playing again about a week ago. For quitting such a long time ago, I don't even have ToAU nor know much about how it changed the game and I wasn't able to order it until yesterday and I assume it'll arrive next week. So I've been soloing my way closer to the sweet 60s and I'd like to be prepared for what's coming ahead of me when I finally install the expansion and get to exp in the "new" areas. From what I've heard from my friends I can bid farewell for evasion tanking because I'll be using DD TP/WS gears mostly from now on and that's where I need some tips.

So I'm going to put the gears I'm planning to use for TP and WS (Jin) here and you can correct/suggest if I should aim to replace a slot with something else. Oh and this gear is for lvl61.
I'll be most likely wielding Kabutowari +1 and Buboso as weapons.

First, the TP gear (I'm not as lost with this as I'm with the WS gear):
Head: Emp. Pin (would Walkure Mask be a good alternative for this?)
Neck: PCC
Ears: Spike Earrings
Body: Haub
Hands: O.Kote
Rings: Snipers
Back: Amemet +1
Waist: Life Belt
Legs: Royal Knights Breeches
Feet: Fuma Kyahan

And now the WS gear, I have to say I'm quite lost with this one. But as Jin's modifiers are STR and DEX (right?) I just tried to come up with a gear that would raise both of those stats as much as possible, though I'm pretty sure I've overdone it quite badly so this is where you guys come in with your corrections. Duh anyway, here goes:
Head: Emp. Pin
Neck: Spike Neck
Ears: Minuet + Spike Earring
Body: Haub
Hands: Pallas' Bracelets (I know this lowers my DEX but there are some DEX pieces to balance it out)
Rings: Grace Rings (DEX +4 Rings)
Back: Amemet +1
Waist: Life Belt
Legs: Royal Knights Breeches
Feet: Leaping Boots

When I made up this WS gear I thought that it's pretty OK for the level for giving quite high amounts of both STR and DEX with quite good balance between them, but does it have anywhere near enough accuracy to hit anything with Jin? And how good is STR exactly when comparing Pallas' to Okote for example, is it even worth swapping? And last question, it looks like NIN has VERY crappy selection of good leg pieces when it comes to the AH at least, I know there are some awesome r/ex pieces waiting for me, but would Dusk legs do fine until them (koga/byakko), or is there something better?

Apologies for asking such silly questions, but it's like starting the game from the beginning. Thanks in advance for any helpful replies. Try to keep the flames down.

TP in Scorpion Harness and don't bother with Walkure Mask.
Try to aim for as much Eva and Acc as you can during TP, don't bother much with spikes since they got -eva.
WS in PCC and Okote.
Use STR ring over DEX, If you have acc problem use Acc ring instead of STR.

TP in the lowest amount of evasion needed to keep chains going. Most parties are DD burns, if you go all out in eva gear chances are you won't hold hate and you will be useless.

Have a TP DD gear macro, an eva gear macro, and a WS macro. At certain camps you will be full timing haub.

PCC and acc rings will give you better results for TP, WS, and holding hate. I can't think of any pieces you would give up acc for stats like you did outside of Rajas ring.

Smart grenade (free from quest in the past) or the 3 acc shuriken are good til bombcore.

Swift belt would be a good addition for tp and casting macros.

High breath mantle is a good back piece, giving you 5 enmity and some hp. Eris earrings and mermaid ring are some other good options. The earrings could replace spike to keep up a rather offensive build without too much -eva.
