What piece you'll choose will depend of what your needs are right now. the body is surely the best piece for a tp set. At the condition you can manage the loss of the refresh from the empyrean body. Personnaly, i took the hand first cause I was interested by the VIT on it for a few spells. and seems i was at 26% haste I keep it for my tp set too instead of my enif manopolas.
You actually need 26% in equip to cap at 25%.
Ofc the gain from last 1% is much smaller than 1% so if other stats are superior than go with 25% in equip.
bit late but meh. Not quite true any more there is a thread either on here or on BG with tests proving that the newer gears haste formula has changed so theres a bit more haste than what is actually displayed on the equip. 25% haste will actually cap haste instead of needing 26% it was like last year when i read that so idk how clearly im remembering it maybe someone can find that thread again.

Temporal shift does but not head butt or sudden lunge.

Speaking to the mention of Glavoid, I have seen Sudden Lunge stun him however stuns have a unfortunate side effect of also extending his window of Damage Absorption so bear in mind that you'll want to stay turned a few seconds longer than usual.

Kheper Wristbands worth making? Cause the HQ is out of the pocketbook for a long time.

The augment on Khepri is not going to help your physical spells at all. So for physical spells, kheper isn't all that bad but fea's is better with the exception of whirl and amorphic which make use of the mnd and int respectively. If you wanna save space though, I'd go for myrmex as that is used in your ws and spells.

Oh, wow. All this time I thought Whirl of Rage was STR/DEX. <.< Embarassing.

It's just a 30% so honestly it doesn't change the way I gear it much compared to a pure str or str/dex spell(actually, currently my sets for pure str and str/mnd are the same ^^;). There's some minor optimizations you could make if you have the gear and have the space but the str is more valuable anyhow.

Yeah, I just threw it into my STR spell set rather than my STR/DEX.

Taking the ideal posted high end tp set wouldnt you swap to dw% head, miodio gloves, thaumas leg and 4% haste feet, would that not be superior? Losing some attack, 3% da and some acc for 5% dw. Perhaps it comes down to whether you need this attack or not?

You're also losing a ton of STR and DEX, which translates to base damage and crit rate.

Difference between the best sets in this list is less clear cut than originally projected, will have to simulate some of these. I'm thinking that Set4 may beat Set1.

Wow, that set 4 is really close to the set I played around with in itemsets
Or I could completely miss that there's more than 4 sets, ignore me :3

I don't own Morrigan+1 yet, thoughts on Orvail helm and body for Requiestcat? Pretty sure Thaumas nails beat Orvail feet because of the attack and DA%

Wow, the Orvail head is actually better than Anwig for cures? I really would have thought the cure potency and small mind would beat it out. Looks like I need to stop being lazy and get some reives done.

Hasty pinion might be a viable option. Would allow you to swap 4% gloves to nomkahpa, or enif to wurrukatte. I don't think the -stp will matter since I just barely reach 100 tp as it is. With more dual wield I'm going to need another attack round, anyway. Tiercel necklace is another option, though I doubt it'd be worth using over portus/rancor.
ItemSet 297803
ItemSet 256153
Edit: Yes, I realize it's not true cap haste.

Always Bihkah Sword +1 if you don't have a Str sword and could still cap haste with Nomkahpa Mittens and leave that ammo open for other.
