Sweetwhater Equips vs Fafnir, which is worth it?

I am maining a DA and I'm wondering what equips I should essentially be aiming for. I can obtain the whole Lionheart set except the shoulder but considering I want to perfect a weapon I'm not sure if I should be aiming for an empress weapon and perfecting it to use with the set so I'd at least have 30% boss (6 items) and can later switch to SweetH20 if I can or if I should just try to get a Fafnir (only thing I can afford is the weapon) and make do with that.

I can't afford Tyrants and any other fancy gear like that. Is it worth getting SweetH2O and how do you get the other parts like gloves and cape and stuff?
Should I be buying the Fafnir and make do with it and just buy solid or higher gollux pieces with it? (Can't afford Superior).

Thanks a lot!

@Pharaohs: No problem, and that's only if the Tyrants are 5+ enhanced.

@enoch129 Ah, okay thank you!

I guess it's safe to say that I should get the empress set then.
But I'm assuming that Fafnir blows the new set out of the water with Tyrants.

Depends if you have the mesos to buy fafnir set later go for the faf cause if you ever quit you can psok it.

[quote=Pharaohs]Well, I only have the empress weapon and cape. I can always get the other pieces. But how do we obtain the sweetwhater basic items such as the gloves and boots? Is it during the quest line with the denaros or what?
Also if I get the 6 piece empress set I guess I could still get the Gollux stuff, no?[/quote]

You either buy them or find them via trade voyages (really rare to find one single piece).

Sweetvvater weapons and armor pieces are dropped by voyage bosses. Buying them now will be very costly, since the armor is in high demand (can be worn by all classes). The gollux accessories consists of belt/pendant/ring/earrings, so they will not conflict with empress set
