Im mid-DOTD and i literally can't find something better thsn midnight flutist 5 piece and benzaiten 7 for a melee focused jutsu user. Any sets to pair with benzaiten than will compare or perform even better?

So far, ive tried sarayushis valor 5 piece, vanquisher 5 piece, national unity 5, tatenashi til the dmg bonus equip weight, and kobo daishis set. Ive been considering trying out dreaming demon, brave demon hunter, demon slayer, or even one of the ninja sets but i generally run with a splitstaff and sword, splitstaff and dual swords, 3 swords, and recently started using a spear and kusarigama. I mostly use guardian spirit, barrier, extraction, and familiars... and ninja feathers generally cancelled by yokai abilities to keep up pressure. I love the Ki recovery i get from the 7 pieces of benz combined with moonlight flutist and of course i love the ki damage.. i even love the tea utensil drop because i always have money to keep my weapons upgraded lol. Anyone whos used this combo, have you found something better outside ethereal gear? I know all about that but im just not there yet as dotd is very fun to me and challenging.

Also am i wasting gold soul matching my armor pieces up to +12 when the physical and elemental resistance stays the same?
