Trying to perfect my WS set.

Great Axe +8, Critical Rate +4, Berserk +5, Aggressor +5, Warrior's Charge +5, Savagery +4, Tomahawk +1

Perdu Voulge
Fire Bomblet
Hecatomb Cap
Soil Gorget
Merman's Earring
Brutal Earring
Ares's Cuirass
Hecatomb Mittens
Rajas Ring
Triumph Ring
Cuchulain's Mantle
Warrior's Stone
Warrior's Cuisses
Hecatomb Leggings

Merman's Earring to Triumph Earring is the obvious change.

Alkyoneus's Bracelets or Hecatomb Mittens?
Amemet Mantle +1 or Cuchulain's Mantle?
Toreador's Ring / Ulthalam's Ring over Triumph Ring?
Vary the above dependent on Aggressor?

Worth trying for Aurum Cuisses, given I do Salvage and can work towards Ares's Flanchard?

Assuming 68 base Dex +21, I think you have 381 Acc with that set. I'd say you generally want between 400 and 410 Acc pre-food for meritting and endgame meleeburn events, so Aggressor puts you at 406 which is fine. Without Aggressor though you need to pick up 25 Acc somewhere. I'd swap body to Haub (HQ if possible), legs to Haidates, Ear to Assault. That might not be the best possible tradeoffs though, they're just the first things I saw as options.

Think I'll use this without Aggressor up (if I KJ rather than RR).

That's 308 base GA after merits, DEX 68+38, Acc+27 (30 with minuet). Total of 388 Acc (391 with songs) without Aggressor. Not counting Gorget accuracy.

It's actually +37 Dex. FFXI AH always gives +4 for Ulth and always gives +2 for Rajas. FFXIGEAR.com was much better, but it's gone now.

So 400 Acc with Gorget included. That's pretty much enough. If you didn't have songs you could swap Fowling for the same Acc. That last point of Dex does nothing for you on KJ because it gets Floored in the accuracy totals. I can't think of a better set for you off the top of my head. If you ever get E.body, you can consider re-working it.

I don't see the point of Haidate since you won't crit.

Ares + Haidate = 12 Str 24 Atk 15 dex
HQ Hauby + WCuisses = 11 Str 12 Atk 6 Dex 12 acc 2% DA

Basically it's 1str 12 atk Vs 2%DA and 6acc. I think you're better with Acc and double attack.
Maybe go WCuisses + Ares body with agressor up. Don't bother with Aurum cuisses, I don't see how these can be any good.

I was curious about KJ, generally speaking would gorget or kubira beads(str4,dex4) be better?

[Mogar]

How the fuck did you do 5/5 Aggressor, 5/5 Berserk and 5/5 Double Atk rate?

I don't get where this came from.

Neither do I. Maybe it was edited.

finally came back to this thread . . . what?

Fire Bomblet
Hecatomb Cap
Soil Gorget
Merman's Earring Working on Bushinomimi for STR+2.
Brutal Earring
Ares's Cuirass
Hecatomb Mittens Alkyoneus's Bracelets better?
Rajas Ring
Ulthalam's Ring Triumph Ring better?
Cuchulain's Mantle Forager's Mantle better?
Warrior's Stone
Aurum Cuisses Bahram's Cuisses or Ares's Cuisses better?
Hecatomb Leggings

Don't yet own Bahram's Cuisses or Ares's Cuisses, so working on those (particularly the Fomor legs) if needed.
Maybe use Foragers + Triumph + Alkys with aggressor, Cuchulain's, Ulthalams and Hecatomb without?

Gogogo.

Fire Bomblet
Hecatomb Cap
Soil Gorget
Merman's Earring Working on Bushinomimi for STR+2. <- When Active, Minuet earring, otherwise Fowling or Pixie for a RR*
Brutal Earring
Ares's Cuirass <- Haub (+1) At least for RR, for most situations on KJ too
Hecatomb Mittens Alkyoneus's Bracelets better? <- Heca easily for RR*, Ares are a nice option for KJ, Alkys only for Steel Cyclone
Rajas Ring
Ulthalam's Ring Triumph Ring better? <- Depends on ACC, however a Thunder Ring is a nice option for RR*
Cuchulain's Mantle Forager's Mantle better? <- Cuchu for RR*, Otherwise depends on ACC
Warrior's Stone <- WWB*, Virtuoso belt is also a nice option for low ACC situations
Aurum Cuisses Bahram's Cuisses or Ares's Cuisses better? <- Haidate for RR, Bahram vs Ares's depends on ACC for KJ
Hecatomb Leggings <- If ACC is terrible, you can throw Aurum in here

Don't yet own Bahram's Cuisses or Ares's Cuisses, so working on those (particularly the Fomor legs) if needed.
Maybe use Foragers + Triumph + Alkys with aggressor, Cuchulain's, Ulthalams and Hecatomb without?

As noted, Alkys generally aren't a good option for WS. Other things you can swap are bomblet -> bomb core or WS gorget -> kabura bead necklace for RR* for what I can think of off the top of my head.

Gogogo.

* marked items are only applicable for a good dex build. You'll need 117 total or so to cap vs greater colibri - mileage may very on other mobs. For big mobs, dDex is likely going to be crap so don't worry about it aside from the ACC it gives.
