there's backlash torque from yacumama (i use pcc, no gorget... i should probably get one though). i'd use gnadbhod's if i had it, using hachimaki. i think my blessed trousers have +3str, -2 dex. not sure on taru rse feet vs marduk. i'd also use aesir earring if i had it, saw some brutal/+2mod. i think i use ethereal + brutal (i dw next to never).
I would rather favor Dextriety over Attack, at least outside of Abyssea. The sad part with Hexa is it's a critical hit weaponskill without DEX as WS modifier.
In Abyssea, since Atmas already cover for them, you could swap some base stat gear in favor of some extra attack, but the options WHM gets are really, really poor, and compared to the more traditional options, only testing could tell if they'd actually benefit the WS or not. (Edit: even then, I still would favor a light belt for the Acc/Dmg+ and conserve TP over a Virtuoso, for example)
Outside of Abyssea it wouldn't be bad to drop some STR or MND in favor of some extra DEX to try raise your crit rate, since that's when the WS really gets high.

i said i didn't have a belt, and there's really not a lot of gear with large amounts of dex either.
fair enough, but off the top of my head the only decent dex gear for hexa i can think of is rajas and gnadbhod's/voyagersallet. jupiter's ring maybe?
thunder ring, Jupiter's ring, zilant ring, thundersoul ring
marine M boots (meh, -MND), goliard clogs
adroit earring, thunder earring, hollow earring, Jupiter's earring, thunder pearl, Jupiter's pearl
hoeroa +2 Dex path (ew fugly)
Idk what else, gonna give a look rq

zilant ring pretty much the same as jupiter's, and you'd use whichever of those + rajas i guess if doing the dex thing. and never noticed the dex on goliard, lol. hollow earring is still a pretty marginal dex increase, not worth it imo. a dex offhand would be at the potential loss of a lot of str and attack, and that's assuming having an offhand.
maybe it's worth it to use some dex gear, but there seems to be so little that it might be better to just use more consistent stuff.

Yea, probably best to stick with base stats.
Haha, I actually forgot about Maat's cap XD

We were discussing about gear options, so the fact you were replying should also imply you had some interest in what was being posted.
Josia was simply trying to add up to the research in case any of us were unaware of the search function.
Anyways, forget Rokugo Bandana and Orc helm, it's Maat cap FTW!

Yeh, that was added around the time ToMs came out, along with those other NMs that dropped the seals to augment stuff via Synery I think.
In the end, nothing special, sort of a Spike necklace + 1/2

oh dasva's here, cool you can do all the maths and find out what we should all be hexaing in. seems to be a lot less set-in-stone than ws gear for other jobs.

and I bet 5000 he wouldn't admit it : p
Really though comparing att/stats is hard anyways so I'd say unless you can get significant amounts of att in a slow go with str and mnd putting str slighlty higher than mnd.

That depends on whether you are playing in Abyssea with Atmas or outside of Abyssea with just gear and traditional buffs imo, not to mention the ammount of new DA gear available.
