Every warning Kylen gave (or really, that any job gives regarding sTP) still applies: it's not worth sacrificing too much of any stat (particularly ranged accuracy) to make this work, as it will be counter-productive. In that spirit, let's look at the more useful sTP pieces first.
Mekki Shaki: sTP+5, STR+5
Rose Strap: sTP+4
Rajas Ring: sTP+5, STR+5, DEX+5, Subtle Blow+5
Enkidu's Subligar: sTP+5, STR+4, DEX+4, Subtle Blow+5
Skadi's Chausses: sTP+7, R.Acc+4 R.Att+5
This means, with minimal sacrifices, you can fit +19 sTP in gear using Subligar, +21 if you have the Chausses.
Of course, there's additional options for sTP, but these offer no useful stats to ranged attacking (or at best, a steep sacrifice to "normal" alternatives).
Cobra Unit Cap: sTP+2, Enm-4
Almah Torque: sTP+2, Subtle Blow+2
Chivalrous Chain: sTP+1, STR+3
Brutal Earring: sTP+1
Cobra Unit Harness: sTP+6, Enm-8
Cobra Unit Mittens: sTP+3, Enm-3
Ecphoria Ring: sTP+1
Bushido Cape: sTP+1, Eva+1, Subtle Blow+1, Enhances Zanshin
Katana Obi: sTP+1 (/SAM only)
Cobra Unit Leggings: sTP+4
/SAM (Store TP II trait): sTP+15
Carbonara: sTP+6, HP+14%, MP+10, STR+4 (Att+ but no R.Att+)
So, with full +sTP gear, /SAM, and Carbonara, you could reach a max build of +63 sTP.. Not that you would ever do this.
So now the real meat. Table broken down showing different gun delays, and the required +sTP needed. Please note that I'm staring at 0TP, thus assuming you're TPing and WSing in the same amount of +sTP gear. If you want to make calculations for WSing in less +sTP gear (such as swapping out Skadi legs for Relic legs on WS), I'll leave that math up to you.
9-hit 8-hit 7-hit 6-hit 5-hit 4-hit 466 0 2 17 36 63 -- 480 -- 0 10 29 54 -- 582 -- -- 0 13 35 -- 600 -- -- 0 12 34 -- 612 -- -- -- 0 20 49
In summary:
- Shark Gun users: You would pick three of {Mekki, Rose, Rajas, Enkidu, Skadi}. OR Skadi, pick one of {Mekki, Rajas}, and another sTP+1 (such as Brutal).
- Coffinmaker users: You would pick three of {Mekki, Rose, Rajas, Enkidu}. OR Skadi and pick one of {Mekki, Rajas}.
- Martial Gun users: You would need Mekki, Rose, Rajas, and Skadi. OR Mekki, Rose, Rajas, Enkidu, and another sTP+1 (such as Brutal).
Whether this is worth it or not is up for debate, and depends on your gear/merits/food/camp. But this hopefully points out what your options are (and what they aren't).
