I use STR tops on my Bandit. You can't scroll them for attack, and the only other alternative is LUK. STR tops add the same stats as LUK tops.
Your standards are way too high. You don't even need a base+10 attack shield to be "decent." For most people, outdamaging their peers in CPQ is decent. Not everyone wants to go down that path of making a Bishop and sell leech for several hundred hours before leeching a main to boss and decking it out in insane gear. That's a really narrow vision of how to play the game.
HT pendent allows you to keep your base as low as possible without wasted ap points.
Scrolling your top for str isn't smart because if you want to upgrade your str top is downright worthless. Partly because not every thief is a str bandit, but every thief needs luk. You're always upgrading as a shadower, you don't want equipment that you can't get your money back for.
