Think you would need to swap in Vim to get 5 hit in that set.

Would you guys say that 1210-1220 is a good range for accuracy in Dynamis-D, before food and buffs?

I said this. I asked for a ballpark number of accuracy before food and buffs. Using two Madrigals, Distract III, but no Torpor.

THF mobs probably have 60 or more evasion than the WAR/DRG/DRK tier of evasion, if not more. I don't have exact values, but should be fine just swapping to Torpor

Utilize abs acc is nice in dyna, lots of chances to use it (pd, invincible, on pull to camp). Add an abs dex and I cant see you missing much.

Prior to Nyame my safe cata set was basically,

Head: ody helm
Body: af+3
hands: ody guantlets
Legs: relic+3
feet: sulevia's +2

it didnt have much -dt really but it didnt have +dt which was the goal back then. I would suggest if attack capped just to use sakpata or mix and match with the above, it should perform decently.

really get working on Nyame though the difference between that and other sets is just massive, and growing. For cata specifically its a huge deal since we create long sc's with scythe.

Still working on Nyame, and body probably be the last piece for me. Regal > Niq if still using AF body for bonus atk/acc for WS that use Epa in one slot?

Set bonus adds no extra attack, and accuracy if you are not capped would be better yes.

OP is assuming attack cap for everything, which of course is not always the case.

In the Drain Set, instead of Nehalennia Earring, Crepuscular earring much better option.

Not necessarily. When Nehalennia Earring is used for Drain, it is generally being used more for the HP reduction than the magic accuracy, in order to offset the raw HP gain that comes from gear swapping. Ratri Sollerets +1 are the prime offender here, but Father Time also has this issue for people who like to swap that in for drain cast.
You can think of Nehalennia earring as adding a flat 60 HP to drain numbers, rather than a potency multiplier, when it is appropriate.

That said, in terms of potency earrings, Mani, Dark, Hirudinea, and even the ancient Abyssal earrings will all beat Crepuscular Earring in terms of potency. Crepuscular is a good earring, and pretty easy to get, but I wouldn't consider it a high-tier drain earring.

Progressing through Ody nms and coming up on tree again. Cannot get Dagon to drop for the life of me. Looking like SU4 Scythe is going to have to be my option (not paying for SU5 for SB build). Just curious about opinions on it, I'm guessing just be doing Cross Reaper spam? Last tree was by the skin of our teeth so really want to get SB set situated, but worried about the damage output on SU scythe more than anything if that's the route I have to take. Appreciate any input on it if people have one.

Did just fine without Dagon body. Turn around if it's been a hot minute since last tp drain move and abuse Absorb-TP on CD. Good luck to you!

Sacro Breastplate is an alternative too that free's up other gear slots if you want to tweak with an alternative.

Yeah have sacro, SB1 isn't a problem to cap though, SB2 is. Other's have improved their jobs as well so might be easier this time. Thanks, I'll give it the college try a few times and reassess.
