BRD Melds- Any Advice?

Completely random post on a random subreddit shows:

WD: 17.416
Dex: 1.000
Crit: 0.412
Direct Hit: 0.274
Det: 0.227
SS: 0.152

Take it for what it's worth: I have no source aside a note in the post "from 2Ch", dunno the testing methodologies, have not tested it (though I have followed it just in case it is accurate), and I can't tell you what tomorrows lotto numbers are.

Noticing very few bards lately, even while being one of the most changed classes since heavensward.

This would be true in the case of every stat scalling at the same rate, since this never happens, your statement isn't necessarily true, DET was utterly garbage in HW becuase it just won't give any damage due how it scaled.

I'm going to say that Skill Speed is for sure the worst thing to take. Take Crit first. Then Det and Direct Hit are most likely almost tied for 2nd/3rd.
