You tell us! Why did you farm for it?

By getting BiS gear you have proved that you don't need BiS gear. There is nothing you need BiS gear for, it just makes high-level content a tiny bit easier than the next-best gear pieces.

Yea no, that isn’t because some other person is a savant. It’s because the other, other person is on the opposite side of the scale.

You can do Criterion dungeons.

Did you actually complete the tier or just the floors needed for bis.... Because of you didn't complete the tier then well... There's your answer.





Also, it was easy because you seem to have done it so late. Echo has been added to the fights for a while now.

I mean l just upgraded my healer tome gears to 660, then l called it the day. I don't even do expert roulette that often. The point of having them is just for the sake of having them.

I will not rest until all of my jobs are i660 :mad:

Having BiS gear just means you can't get better gear for now. And that's all it means.

Not everybody cares about grinding through every checklist that the game offers, and that's fine. There is no need to cling to the game no matter what.

BiS is always a little pointless for the final raid tier as it's not even going to be useful for older ultimates. You can basically just vibe until Dawntrail now. At least your gear will last for like, 5 levels while you're leveling.

you get bis for the sake of bis, eif there was a treadmill of bis, youd hit the end at some point anyways.

use the extra dmg and health to max farm easier, or go to alolo criterion

To have it before everyone else and be able to dye the normal raid gear. To make it that much easier for weekly reclears as you gear up.

XIV is not like older MMOs where there is a massive gear gap between casually obtained gear and raid gear. We're all reset fairly close to even gearwise with each new expansion and BiS gives a slight boost in the new MSQ content where you don't need to upgrade for quite a while into the expansion. The only long-term use for BiS is Ultimates.
