Since the bard set sucks even more than the soldiery set, it's hard to say - probably the gloves, since they actually have something besides skill speed on them.

the only thing i know i'm not buying with it is gear for my summoner......... The stat distribution is so incredibly bad it is comical. Spell Speed everywhere...............
Summoner Weapon
Caster chest in a week. Loving the itemization for BLMs, though my SMN is pissed as hell. They really need to spit the gearing there and the WHM/SCH ones as the classes go for nearly opposite stats.
Are you kidding?
I did my BRD BiS, in order to have around 525 acc for T13 (I go up to 550 with lava toad legs, which would be more than enough for T13), end then maximizing crit and det.

Poetic items:
Left side: Head, Feet
Right side: Necklace, Ring
Poetic stuff (even the weapon) has crappy stats for BRD.
I'll be getting the body for my SCH. Unlike soldier gear, which had crit on it, and was easier for SCH's to gear up, it is a WHM's turn this time, seeing as though the body has determination + piety on it.
I have to say that nope. Ironworks for BRD aren't entirely crap - 4/6 of their body are actually good (accuracy + crit/det or crit + det) but taking into account of overall mix/max with accuracy requirement, we only need 4 Ironworks pieces. The hands and gloves are usable if T10 refuses to drop that for you by the time you got your Magitek Bow.
I would probably complete the full set for glamours tho.
Oh, I agree, if RNG don't like us, we would have to use other items, that's right. I just speak here about the BiS (well, the one I am expecting). I am just sad that our i130 weapon has crappy stats, and the two other big pieces too (body and legs). At least soldiery body was great. Now, poetic body and legs suck. And even if the loot table for all the turns is not known yet, I have the feeling we are going to have FcoB body and legs dropping on the two last turns, as it was for BcoB and ScoB...
