i have heca body and feet for macroing on WS (have not obtained an N Head because it doesn't exist when my ls gets fafnir, but if it did i would also macro that in)... I don't use heca hands because when i WS i usually kill the mob, and i don't want to unequip TH hands for it.
My main dagger is Stylet, my offhand is Thf Knife. Since there is rarely a time i merit as thf, i don't have a secondary DD knife to replace Thf Knife with. All other situations people only have me as Thf for TH. Also! Remember that Dancing Edge is DEX *and* CHR base! Assassin Armlets have +5 CHR (as opposed to the +4 in H. Mittens... nevermind that H mittens also have +7 STR, but that doesn't count so much in the WS).
I use Stylet for the high damage, low delay, and DEX. I get my +att with my back piece and merits on Dagger.
I use Rajas and Flame ring because i dont see going past 100 dex to push damage higher, so I pump up the STR instead. This has made damage over time nicer! :D
I like dragon subligar for soloing, for the subtle blow. I think in XP pt i'd rather use Homam to boost TP gain. I use Walahra Turban full time, unless i'm somewhere like Dynamis Xarc where I need the added acc. I still use Warwolf Belt, despite other people liking swift belt... All those triple attack merits kinda make up for the loss of haste% in that slot.
Fafnir/Nidhogg always /whm
KB: lol doesn't matter, but some like /sam
XP: I would say use Dragon harness full time unless you're having trouble with TP gain... Then use SH, with Heca on WS.
Play around with your body EQ during XP party. Sometimes you need that added ACC with Scorpion Harness, and sometimes you don't. In all fairness, a lot of these things vary with race (I'm mithra with the nice DEX stat, so i don't need to overdo that trait on my EQ)
