Final equipment builds?

[Apolloncrash]

Okay, so I think now I've pretty much done everything in this game. I've fully mapped all 30 floors, defeated [hide]primevil[/hide], completed all quests, have a full party of 70 -> retire -> 70 characters, have filled my Monstrous Codex & Item Compendium and have unlocked everything for sale in Shilleka's Goods and Ceft Apothecary.

Besides building up characters of the other classes (which I'm not going to worry about until I am completely done with EOII and EOIII, which I'm getting for Christmas), the only thing I can think of to do is give my characters the best equipment setups I can. I think they are pretty good for the most part but would like some input from the people here, as I got such good help in my skill builds topic, and I have probably made a mistake or two (or more) with these setups.

My party currently has:

Landsknecht:

Meteor Axe (ATK+240, STR+14)
Demon Mail (DEF+52, STR+10, HP+20)
Halo Aspis (DEF+28, Instant Death Resist ^)
Brave Mitts (DEF+11, STR+12) - I think I'll probably switch this out for a Moss Ring, but I'm not 100% sure.

Protector:

Shinryuu (ATK+250, All Stats+20)
Holy Armor (DEF+56, HP+25, Physical Resist ^)
Holy Aspis (DEF+32, Bind Resist ^)
Moss Ring (HP+80, STR+10, VIT+10)

Combat Medic

Sage Wand (ATK+150, TEC+20, TP+30)
Angel Robe (DEF+45, AGI+7, TP+22)
Hex Doll (DEF+7, TP+50) - I have considered switching this for a Moss Ring a couple of times, but I'm pretty sure that I'm going to stick with this.
Town Medal (HP+100, TP+50)

Bard

Arc Drawer (ATK+220, STR+12, TEC+8)
Fairy Mail (DEF+47, AGI+10, TP+16)
King Aspis (DEF+14, VIT+5)
Moss Ring (HP+80, STR+10, VIT+10)

Survivalist

Arc Drawer (ATK+220, STR+12, TEC+8)
Sylpheed (DEF+47, AGI+11, HP+15)
Town Crown (HP+100, TP+50, All Stats +15)
Speed Boots (DEF+12, AGI+20, LUC+15)

Any suggestions to improve these setups will be greatly appreciated.

As a quick semi-related side question, my Item Point farming Survivalist currently has 3 Old Chokers equipped, and I was wondering if LUC actually affects Item Points at all, or if I could actually swap them out for combat stuff.

- Protector : should already be a killing machine, if you'd like to increase the damage reduction try switching Moss Ring for an Adamas (DEF+6, [s]25%[/s] 15% of physical dmg reduction)

- Battle Medic: mine was with Moss Ring and Adamas, then I switched Moss Ring for the Town Crown. Battle Medic doesn't deal a lot of damage alone that's why I'd suggest increasing his/her STR as much as you can instead of the TP pool

- Bard: is okay. As always you can switch the Aspis for an Adamas.

Basically everyone will do more than fine and at this point of the game there is no real better build, just choices.
LUC is always needed, but there are no items that can't be found in 20 tries...at least it never occured to me.

Grats on completing the game.
Now you can try with smaller parties/solo

Ooops I remembered wrong.

Adamas has a +15% reduction from Slash/Bash/Pierce damage
Tourmaline has a +20% reduction from Fire/Ice/Volt damage

I copypasta'ed from Terence's data files most of the equipments' resistances here

So why Moss Coats and Tourmalines? I don't really remember most enemies using very many Fire/Ice/Volt attacks. A few here and there, sure, but not enough that I would think it would warrant wasting equipment slots (particularly armour) for.
