I've been reading the THF forums about WS equip sets so I went out and got some of the pieces that people 'advised' others to get. My goal was to achieve the highest Evis' with the gear I have, so I tried a few different combinations.
A few notes:
-All these tests were done on La Thiene Worm Pts
Each worm checked: Even Match - Low Evasion and Low Defense
-I don't believe that Thundersoul(+7DEX) is better than Pyrosoul Ring(+7STR) just from eyeballing all my WS. I spend nearly 15 hours every week at worm pts to come to this conclusion. However, I will do some actual data recording on this later.
-I don't have enough gil to afford double +3 DEX ears and double +3 STR ears to test which one is better.
-From the two notes above, you can see that I don't believe in all the dSTR cap *** in Aby, cause even at worms, I can see a notable difference between 7 STR and 7 DEX in plenty of evis. I don't care about the Evis DEX modifier if I see higher numbers with STR ring.
-I used every weaponskill at 100<TP<200 and all WS were done when the worm is above 80% hp incase I ever did an overkill.
Just incase you're wondering, this is my TP set. I don't have anything fancy like epona's, nor did I bother doing WS gorgets. I DO have shadow belt and Cuchulain's, and I prefer Cuchulain's, just by a sample of 15 Evis' each, I've saw higher numbers with Cuch's.
The Para+2 is DMG+23 DBLATTACK+10 and offhand is Triplus.

What I saw:
-As with the nature of WS, there will always be very high and very low numbers (spikes), but my goal is the actually make the spikes smaller and make the numbers more consistent.
-There is definitely an accuracy problem
-Return TP ranged from 6-17
-Haste+Double March made absolutely no difference on evis (I used a bard mule the entire time)
----
There is no conclusion, just putting this out there. I will do alot more tests to see what would actually put my numbers at a more consistent rate and test out different gear sets when I have time to obtain them.
I still need to work on:
Heca Cap +1
Heca Subligar +1
Double Dex+3 ear
Double STR+3 ear
1 More STR+7 Ring
1 More DEX+7 Ring
Rancor's Collar
Skadi feet.
Will post more tests and more data on:
Raider's Bonnet +2 instead of Aias
Fenrir's Earring instead of Suppa DURING daytime
and different combinations of gear from "still need to work on".

I do not want this post to be a flame thread on how I didn't follow what you guys like, I did all my tests and I don't care about your math. Please give some constructive criticism if you like. Either way, take it or leave it.
Edit: I forgot to mention one thing, Apotgyma or however you spell it was right on Evis loves att. I'm working on Twash but I'd like to try to confirm that Rudra's love DEX>ATT.
However, I would like to remind you of one thing: I honestly believe putting more STR with a balanced DEX will yield higher evis.
