UAT gifting advise

I choose Bard for my first UAT (main is paladin, actually suffered through to get a max det/par novus sword and working on a max det/par novus shield) mostly because that's the DPS class I'm more than likely going to play the most, even though I kind of have a pro det/anti skill speed bias from playing a PLD. If you play one of your other classes preferentially, and especially if you're still just using the zenith for that class, just get it for that class even if the upgrade's better for a different class. If your choice is between classes you don't play all that often, then you can consider things like which is (strictly speaking) better, or which will be good as a glamour in the future, or whatever. But if you're at that point, another thing to consider is to just bank the UAT on a retainer until the weekly soldiery cap is lifted unless you've really got 1300 soldiery burning a hole in your pocket. Then you could use the UAT to pimp out your retainers gear, or something.

If you love DRG and play it often get sol weapon on it. If you play blm alot but don't love it. Get sol weapon on DRG and start playing on drg. Don't gear up a class you're not going to enjoy playing on, cause of the phrasr "play the class which you enjoy" cause in the end, you pkay this game for fun and entertainment.

Then you just wear some gear that dosent have accuracy on it.

I swear... people really dont think.

Yes, but by the next patch they will probably be introducing an equivalent item to the UAT that can go up to item level 115. Simply because without such a weapon the only option for people would be the next installment of the Relic Quest (which is way too expensive for most people) or the High Allagan weapons, which is prohibitively difficult for most people to get.
