How would I go about swapping gears while attacking the mob. I am under the assumption that with all my th gear that would be my base TH right. So I could put a command in spellcast to swap out after like the first 10 seconds of battle or something. Or is it needed for the TH message to come up first then swap out gears?

You technically only need the first action on the mob.

How would I go about swapping that out though? Still new to the whole spellcast thing.

<if status="Engaged">
<action type="equip" when="Engaged" set="TH" />
<action type="equip" when=" " set="tp" />

I'd suggest just making a simple gearswap script to manually macro in your TH gear when you are ready to use it, and a script to put your TP gear back on. To be efficient, you'll have to swap back to normal TP gear after the first action you make with TH gear on. Setting a global "10 seconds after engaging mob" would cause you to swing several times in TH gear, wasting a bit of DPS and quite a bit of TP. Also, if you had 100+ TP waiting to be used, it would be wasted as soon as you engage the mob and spellcast swapped in your TH knife for you.

I use a normal macro for TH, it swaps the gears in with a /wait3 I believe, then equip back my TP gears.

/equip hands "Assassin's Armlets"
/wait3
/equip hands "Homam Mano..."

If you really want to use SC for it you can make a BLM spell that equips your TH set lol
I do that for my EVA build, works well enough.

Why use a blm spell to make it swap when you just can make a macro without having to do the spell-thing?:P
//sc set eva
something like that

Ah right on, I was suggesting the spell cause the aftercast would put your TP gear back on quickly.

I kinda freestyle my way through SC lol, learn new things everyday.

If you want to be complicated/lazy you can...

Change all after cast from TP to $TP.

Make variable:
<var name="TP">TP</var>

Make macros as follows to swap between sets:

/sc set TP
/sc var set TP "TP"

/sc set TH
/sc var set TP "TH"

/sc set Evasion
/sc var set TP "Evasion"


Or above!
