    Unless your cerb mantle serves a purpose on another job, a Forager's Mantle is cheaper and better. At least until you get Cuch.

    Aurum Body + Black Tathlum + Cuchulain + Vork + Assault Earring + Toreador!

    Edit: Pole Grip maybe? You might get better WS spikes with Claymore, but DAing nets you an extra hit and TP.

    assuming aurum body is gotten I'd say cletine for crit rate and lower delay.

    Sorry I can't give any feedback on your gear itself, but for the record, I suggest posting here (http://www.bluegartr.com/forum/70859...ath-about.html) next time you ask this question! =)

    This though you might be able to use Askar with Valk fork since it has 3 StoreTP on it, i forget the exact hit build numbers needed for DRG/SAM off the top of my head... Also of note it will give you capped ACC if you get Black Thathlum, Cuch, and Toreadors on Birds with out resorting to a strait ACC body, if you had Aurum body you would not need the toreadors ring.

    Not making a build around birds though.

    He has a 6-hit build as it stands (where he's using Thalassocrat or w/e). So switching to V.Fork would of course still give him 6-hit. I believe some people use a White Tathlum when they have a V.Fork and try to use a different body piece but personally, I'd prefer to just stick with Black Tathlum and hopefully use an Aurum Cuirass sometime.

    For jump, Maat's Cap, Fort Torque, Ares's Leggings (not sure if this would be best)...and anything else with VIT/acc, can't think of any others off the top of my head!

    Aurum is for the +DEX since with "Optimal" gear, you'll be at ~90-92% on Mamools. Since this is a build for multiple purposes, Aurum is highly recommended even if you're sporting a Vork.

    If I recall, you need +11 store tp as /sam to have a six hit, so if you put a Nuevo Coselete with it in and don't get another piece, you'll lose that benefit. I dunno how easily you can get a V.Fork or Black Tathlum, but you might want to take that into account before ya get the reward. Askar/Aurum are probably going to be your best choices as far as meripo bodies are concerned. Definitely consider a Pole Grip, and maybe a Skystrider and Supremacy Earring. (to replace the Ethereal). Apart from that, your Tp set looks fine. If you really wanted to, you might want to consider Dusk gloves or Aurum feet, but I think your pieces essentially come out to about the same.

    Drg +1 Feet have Vit too, so upgrade those if you're gonna use them for jump. Also, if you're doing a multi-hit WS, you probably want to keep your Love Torque in. And I'm assuming this is your ideal gear set or have another job, because upgrading an Ares body just for jumps seems a bit extreme..

    I've found claymore gives me better parse results, when you're using drakesbane only, which is the case normally lol.
