Have people let go of the "Gjallahorn/Daurdabla only" BRD demand for Delve yet?

[Hayward]

Now that AF is out for the new jobs, it looks as though RUN and GEO can fit into a delve fight without much trouble. One question I'd like to know is whether people have gotten past this whole "Lv. 99 Daurdabla/Gjallahorn BRD only" obsession. Given the stats of Aoidos' +2 gear, it seems a bit crazy to wait for so long for such a rare appearance when there are people who have the job, know how to play it, and have the necessary gear save for the Relic and Empyrean instruments.

So have things loosened up for non-elite Bards?

On Ragnarok I'll tell you this: Hell to the no (Not meaning that in a mean way to you)

same with DD's. RMED all the time or else people don't get to go in.

Basically, you're in the same boat as a PLD. No Ochain/Aegis? No thanks.

Meanwhile, Corsairs will walk right in by comparison. But for the oomph that people want out of their support, BRD is terribly gear-needy, and that's the gear they need.

with the lates buff to weapons there is no need for darud/gjallarhorn bards or any kind of rotation if you have decked out melees. People seem to be dumb seriously ¬.¬

The last Tojil run I was in had a 2 song BRD. It's not nearly as necessary now, more of a luxury than anything.

Fixed that for you

Bards that show up well prepared by obtaining the gear needed for events are elite? What do you call those who want to skip getting what's required and expect to play without? O.o

Twisting words won't get you very far here. Non-elite Bards who are good at their jobs should absolutely not be shut out of events simply because they don't have the time, patience, or desire for building 2 instruments, especially since it's not nearly as easy to build one of them in Abyssea as it was when it was the only game in town. But that's the mindset of elitists, again: Expect people to have top-of-the-line items and simultaneously expect them to do it without help.

I saw a guy yelling for a BRD with a 4-song Daudabla. Doesn't the 4 song Daurdabla require 1500 Heavy Metal Plates and 30 Riftcinder? Which are really tough to get?

I mean, if a group wants to be that choosy, that's their right. They're the ones taking on the burden of organizing the event. It's their loss if having such high standards means it takes longer to setup.

it always going to be people picky like that. even with the new buffs they still look for them 4 only brd songs, even if it take 4 hours of yelling.

last time i was turn down from a VW 1-4 windy clear. 17/18, they was looking for a DD.
i said pup D weapon + Alternator pet. please invite me. /bow
he said sorry we looking for a heavy DD.
10 mins later they found a Perle drk with low GS skills and only use Nirastamo. (my friend was in VW telling me)

so i had to solo my own clear><. my question is what is this "heavy DD"? i was turn down from a kirin run also.lol
