Ohat hasn't been good since ToAU if not earlier, evasion aside...

Togi may be decent with augments, but there are easy to get pieces that rival or outperform it in its base form.

OHat can have its uses if you're in desperate search of Accuracy or Evasion and happen to have one hanging around.
Shura used to be the best MNK TP and WS body, and it got a slight improvement from the synergy augments which can add some extra Attack and even Haste, but Abyssea armor is just soooo much better than that.

Getting the +1 is rather simple, and as long as you have a few friends who already possess good Atmas, you can simply ask them to help you get the seals real quick.

For +2s it's pretty much the same thing, and with the increased number of NMs dropping such items, it is now much simpler to obtain them. Some NMs are much easier than others. You are likely to stumble upon a few +2 items while you are targeting Atmas as well. GL

Togi for MNK gets beaten out by Aurore body, sadly.

Go buy a full assortment of the Aurore set. It kinda sucks but it's waaaay better than the things you've mentioned. From there work on AF3, and do a Magian Weapon.

That's why I refuse to level MNK again until I have a full set of +1 ready to go :D

Don't quest the body. The mnk body seals are kinda a pain to get drops for, but the quests are terribad in comparison. (Still doable, of course, but still.)

Optical hat wasn't a bad evasion piece back in the day, acc and eva on it. Emp pin is better but not by much. It's still one of the best evasion head pieces.
