Ok I've got a few questions. I'm a 71 THF/ 35 NIN.

TA+DE setup= My problem here is that I try to mix in AGI with +Acc. It doesn't seem that the AGI is helping at all, because I do more DE dmg on a TA+DE wearing TP gear then the AGI/ACC set up. Should I just go full blown ACC only? Right now I have like half my equip slots for this move with my best +AGI gear and the other half with my best +Acc gear. As a general rule, for SA+DE too, should I go half and half on the stats in equip slots? Like SA+DE half of my equipment best DEX and other half ACC.

SA+Shark bite/TA+Shark Bite= How should I gear my THF for this? Go all out on DEX?

SA+Evisceration/ TA+Evisceration = Again how should the gear be set up?

Also, in what situation do I use Evisceration? I know DE is for lower evasion weaker mobs, and Shark bite for higher evasion stronger mobs, but what about Evisceration?

TP legs question= I've been wearing ferral trousers for a while now and was wondering if I can upgrade to anything off the Auction house (No sky or sea access, I only do Dynamis). Also, is there a good DEX piece for legs? I've been using Magna M Chausess for SA forerver just for the little DEX it gives.

And finally, Marksmanship= Yes, I know, another one of those stupid MM questions. I started leveling MM late (lvl30) and it's at 152. Where should I go to skill it without getting killed? I was thinking Monastic Cavern.

Thanks in advance.

Anywhere with worms or crabs. Spam bloodies if you're taking damage.


Don't focus on AGI too much until you have af1+1 hands. That's all the energy I have atm.

for TA+WS, the AGI mod only adds damage to the 1st hit of the weaponskill.
If you have AF+1 hands, use them. if not, just use your normal SA+WS equipment, maybe with a little less focus on DEX.

I didnt bother with evisc until i had X's. DE is a much much more consistant weaponskill. The Acc bonus tp mod (I have no idea how much acc) doesnt hurt either.

TP legs: something with acc or haste. bravos/prince's slops/campaign legs comes to mind.

AGL pieces have no place in TADE and TAEV gear sets outside of AF+1 hands if you have them. Stacking DEX, Acc, Att and STR where available (a lot of our good ws pieces have both DEX and STR) is what you will want for DE. Personally, I have one DE set that I use for TA, SA, and Solo...I can't really think of too many pieces I'd swap either (until I get AF+1).

You will probably be safe going all out DEX for most SB situations (again AF+1 hands being the exception). There are a lot of good pieces that have both. AGL will mod the first hit, but also make the second hit weaker...so its a bit of a trade off and not worth it in my opinion to forgo DEX to gear for AGL.

Dragon Subligar is a good cheap Dex leg piece.

Bravo's Subligar is a haste piece that can be purchased from AH.

Marksmanship: Grab some sleep bolts and find any (non sleep resistant prey) that you can hide from at your skill level if something goes wrong (Gobs, Birds, Etc)

Ok I just hit 72 and have started exp'ing for 73 and Dragon Armor looks great. This is my current setup for TA+DE. Please give opinion:


Main Harpe
Sub Behemoth Knife +1
(working on Blau)

Head Optical Hat Acc +10
Neck Spike Necklace STR +3 DEX +3
Ears Spike Earrings X2 Attk +5
Body Scorpion Harness Acc +10
Hands Rogue's Armlets DEX +3
Ring 1 Woodsman Ring Acc +5
Ring 2 Fluorite Ring DEX +3
Amemet mantle +1 STR +2 Attk +15
Waist Warwolf belt STR +5 DEX +5 Enmity +3
Legs Feral trousers Attk +5
Feet Tabin boots +1 Acc +3

That brings the total to: 25 Acc 25 Attk 10 STR and 14 Dex. I don't have AF +1. It's also first job towards 75. Is that a good setup for TA+DE?

Thanks for all the replies.

daggers: not bad, they'll see you over for a while.

gear: going to work better than stacking agi. unfortunatly, you're kinda limited by no hecatomb or enkidu equipment. Try and pick up some of tthe lv72 dex rings when you can.

dragon stuff: only body/legs/feett really worth looking into.
