blu equip questions

[coolmist]

i'm currently 65 blu. i mostly level via soloing, but i'm getting to the point where seeking while soloing wouldn't be a bad idea and wanna update my equip some. currently i have:

main: musketeer commander's falchion
sub: ifrit's blade
ranged/ammo: chakram for pulling, otherwise fortune egg
head: walkure mask/wivre mask as soon as one's up for sale
neck: chivalrous chain
earrings: coral earrings/minuet earring/heims earring
body: scorpion harness/AF body
hands: battle gloves/enkelados's bracelets
rings: woodsmans/sun/rajas
back: amemet mantle
waist: swift belt/potent belt
legs: republic subligar/wonder braccae
feet: tabin boots+1/creek m. clomps as soon as one's up for sale

does that look about right so far? also, i never really bothered to use a separate equip set for spells soloing, so how do people usually do it in parties? do you just wait to use your STR set for chain affinity or do you do it for each physical spell you cast? lastly, i should note i'm kinda on a budget, so i can't really afford to get some of the more expensive equip (yet), but feel free to point out what i do need to upgrade to.

When you have some money on your hands, you can do some upgrades like Enkelados'-> Pallas', NQ-> HQ Amemet, Tiphia Sting, etc.
As for play style, I always always do equip swap whenever I cast spell, CA'd or not, and WS
