RDM has a lot of gear sets to worry about. You can't possibly carry "best" in slot for everything. You've already said your inventory is overflowing.
Never said I do carry the best for everything, I don't even do that on BLU. Can get pretty close by satcheling sets I'm not currently using though.

With an optimal enhancing set I dont believe the 3 skill on cascade is going to break a phalanx tier, which is the only thing you need enhancing skill for.
Apparently I was wrong, Olympus has been implemented. Harnfer, Cimmerian, and Casso's Sash are the ones that aren't available yet. However, this set still works in my favor: with capped skill (376), merits (16) and gear (81), you'd be at 473 skill. You can drop Olympus for Cascade and still break a tier. Cascade will still break a tier if you have Hyskos Robe +1, but not if you have NQ (in which case you'd either use Olympus or drop belt/grip/ear and deal with being one tier short of max).
Also Gain spells (MND, STR if you melee) and T1 Enspells.
EDIT: Enspell formula is /20 instead of /10, so nevermind that. Phalanx and Gain-MND are actually the only reason for me to even try for the 470 tier right now then, hm.

Cognition is a functional upgrade to your nuking set
Very small upgrade, and if RDM needs maac on anything these days, it's elemental magic.
Oneiros Sash would be a better upgrade.
Witch is 1 macc over Cognition, Oneiros obviously has less than either, but that is potentially a valid point.
