    probably beaten to death but, for fudo - elemental gorget and belt vs STR and attack alternatives? assuming all other gear is top notch

    There's no need for dusk gloves at all. I use AF ear for WS/TP. WS set seems fine. If you can retain 6 hit, there's probably other things you can change to instead of dropping rajas for 2 str (and loss of 5 subtle blow dex etc)

    Should have noted the Dusk gloves+1 were until I got Zelus, I realize post Zelus I won't need them.

    I use this set http://www.ffxiah.com/item-sets/228103 for TP when not /sam. 6 hits build even if you only land 1/2 hit with Ukon. WS in Rose Strap, Rajas, and White Tathlum to keep 6 hits when Ukon miss the 2nd hit.

    with the agi and range acc, it can be better if u have acc issue(most jishnu WS build is lacking somewhat little acc) on hard stuffs

    Ire+1/Bier+1 for damage.

    I use gorget/ele belt in Abyssea, extra ACC helps for the DA/TA procs.
    Outside I use Ire+1/Ele belt for the conserve TP.

    Dusk Gloves>>Dusk Gloves +1
    Walahra >> Zelus

    Past those I'm not sure what changes I can make for the better. For outside Abyssea, if I can retain 6hit, is it better to double up on Pyrosoul or keep Rajas? Neck/Earring for TP I have no idea on.
    Fulltime AF3+2 gloves when you get a Zelus, instead of buying Dusk+1

    Rancor Collar / augmented Hecatomb mittens with Crit for WS.

    STR Kila + Triplus will probably be your best DD combo.

    In terms of what to "pair with TK", I would swing once in TK, AA, and AF3+2 Feet then swap to the aforementioned dagger combo. If you don't want to lose TP at the start of every mob, then STR Kila + TK or Twilight + TK would be fine.

    Only use af3+2 with restraint up (blitz ring to cap haste when using af3+2 gloves as well). Otherwise you'd be better off using perle or augmented adaman/armada mufflers to cap haste so you don't have to wear blitz to fully cap haste.

    apparantly while I was on my hiatus something was added for leg tp phase. Calmecac Trousers vs Ace's Hose for Drk. Is there a clear cut winner? 12 attack vs 2% da/ta. Don't have to use blitz ring with ace's of course.

    God I hate the look of Calmecac lol

    Derp I forgot to mention this in my intial post. My Byakkos are unaugmented so would they still be the best outside or would something like Calmecac Subligar best them?

    Looking for suggestions on my DD BRD (don't hate):

    TP:

    Kila +2 / Twilight Knife / Angel Lyre
    Walahra Turban / Rancor Collar / Suppanomimi / Brutal Earring
    Sha'ir Manteel / Dusk Gloves / Oneiros Ring / Rajas Ring
    Atheling Mantle / Bullwhip Belt / Byakko's Haidaite / Dusk Ledelsens

    WS (Evis):

    Kila +2 / Twilight Knife / Oliphant
    Heca Cap / Ele Gorget / DEX+3 Earring / Brutal Earring
    Kirin's Osode / Heca Mitts / DEX+7 Ring / Rajas Ring
    Atheling Mantle / Ele Belt / Byakko's Haidate / Heca Leggings

    Everything that can be augmented is augmented with decent stuff.

    Comments:

    Spoiler: show
    I'm mostly wondering about my weapons. Currently, I'm using a DEX Kila but I'm unsure if STR would beat it. I've heard the TP Bonus +100 dagger is really nice for Evis both in and out of Abyssea, is there truth in this? I'm working on Twash but it'll be awhile and I want something to hold me over in the meantime.

    For TP, I was gonna swap Byakko's Haidat for Calmecac Trousers, is that a good choice? I was gonna swap around get to maintain 26% Haste, prolly get Dusk +1's and then Goliard Saio so I can use Goading Belt. I can get more Haste out of Zelus too but I would be overcapped and dunno what I would replace to make up for it.

    For WS... Would Oneiros Ring and/or Calmecac Trousers be worth WSing in for the Double/Triple attack? Oliphant seems like it can be replaced but not sure with what... Would a second DEX+7 ring beat Rajas?? Lithe Boots any good? Ele Gorget/Belt best options? MKE hat isn't an option, btw.

    I'm looking for suggestions both in and out of Abyssea. I switch to Rancor outside but that's pretty much the only difference. Open to any and all suggestions, thanks!

    A few points:
    * Swapping instruments loses your TP, eh?
    * You'll want to use Rancor Collar are your Evisc neck all the time
    * You'll probably get more out of Attack +7 (or Attack+4/25 TP Bonus) than a 3 DEX earring on Evisc
    * Augment your Heca gear if possible.
    * TP in Zelus Tiara and AF2 or AF2+1 body if you have it.
    * If you aren't using the Acc from the DEX Kila, the STR Kila is better.
    * AF2 or AF2+1 body is a better option for WS than Osode.
    * Rajas is going to be king outside Abyssea. Inside Abyssea a second Thundersoul ring may perform better, but you'd be better off selling both of them, downgrading to a DEX+5 ring, and buying Dusk Gloves +1. With Zelus Tiara, that gives you 26% Haste and frees up your ranged slot for a march instrument.

    Actually swapping instruments doesn't, I found that out from experience. When we're doing derp LS events I'll grab my melee gear and start stabbing too while providing songs as necessary, and I always keep TP because I don't lock my ranged slot.

    EDIT: Proof of swapping instruments not changing your TP. I went BRD/SAM, meditate with an instrument on, then switched instruments.
