Caladbolg build thoughts

I'm starting to consider going for Caladbolg when I get back on game and begun phantasizing about possible gear sets. Caladbolg's main drawback is the low delay which greatly affects TP gain
Using /SAM as reference for SJ in an attempt to see how to maximize the weapon I came up with 2 TP builds:
This grants a 7 Hit build with capped Haste but heavily penalizes Accuracy. Pizza would be a must
VS
This should grant a 6 Hit build while still capping haste and granting higher Accuracy but raising the weapon's delay.
Thoughts?

Lowering the delay penalty would've been good too, allowing several other weapons to shoot for X-Hit builds. But yea, that grip is still nice for tanking situations on some jobs.
Oh well, thanks Aero :)
I guess the best way to use Caladbolg is with an 8/7 Hit build then

It would require sacrificing everything in favor of STP and dropping some Haste. Not worth it

ace's sabtons, hoard ring, and askar over jawshan.. you'd drop 2% haste, but gain 14 STP..wouldn't that do it?

Abyssean Atmas are a Godsent, but I really hope something else will pop at the orizon after December's expansion.

He was just adding the possibilities granted by Atmas such as VV . Add in a STP Atma and you'll be able to get better stuff on

I think you could 6hit this too but there was a point this needed to stop and we have clearly passed that

Eisen grip is useless, and you can factor in two regain procs.
@above poster: you go for a 96% TP build.

This should work nicely with Caladbolg, 14.4% TP/hit (7-hit)

Ideal setup would have Dusk gloves +1, ace's hose, adaberk, bale head +2, vbelt, etc, but that was just an example.
edit: forgot about timarli body, but we don't even know what or how it spawns <_< and it's not like lieje drops its crown all the time.
I'm starting to consider going for Caladbolg when I get back on game and begun phantasizing about possible gear sets. Caladbolg's main drawback is the low delay which greatly affects TP gain
