2.1 BRD BiS?

So what are your ideas of 2.1 BRD BiS? You might use this http://ariyala.com/bard.html.
Big up to Ariyala for making this, but as you can see, it doesn't include gryphonskin stuff.

It will be fun to see how BiS will change whit New content.
I wounder if Extreme primals will have same Hit cap as Coil t5.

Allagan Composite Bow - Coil T5
Allagan Visor of Aiming - Coil T2
Bard's Shirt - 825 Myth
Bard's Ringbands - 495 Myth
Hero's Belt of Aiming - 375 Myth
Bard's Tights - 825 Myth
Allagan Sollerets of Aiming - Coil T4
Allagan Choker of Aiming - Coil T4
Hero's Earrings of Aiming - 375 Myth
Hero's Bracelet of Aiming - 375 Myth
Allagan Ring of Aiming - Coil T5
Hero's Ring of Aiming - 375 Myth

Comes out to a nice 471 Acc, 519 Crit, 250 Det, and 418 Skill Speed. HQ Deviled Eggs as your Twintania food, obviously.

The best alternates you can get to the pieces from Coil (if you can't get a group to clear it, or if RNG hates you), are gonna be Artemis Bow Zenith (900 Myth), Bard's Chapeau (495 Myth), Bard's Sandals (495 Myth), Ultima Choker of Aiming, and a HQ Gryphonskin Ring (overmelded with 12 Crit, 10 Vit to make up for points lost elsewhere). These will get you to exactly the acc cap for Twin, with 540 Crit to boot. You would then be able to eat HQ Buttons in a Blanket or something of the sort. Your Dex will be like 9 points lower than the BIS, and it has more Myth purchases, but it'll get the job done.

Yup, so except bow nothing changed since 2.0. Thanks for answer.
472 is ACC cap on T5 now, right?

You need to hit 470-472 before you eat the HQ Deviled Eggs. I updated my original post with more info for those interested.

So thats basically the bis it was before even with the ilvl 90 accessories?

There are several gear sets that are slightly better than the old BiS:

Crit Build
Gives you 473 acc 531 crit 244 det 412 SS

Determination Build
Gives you 472 acc 510 crit 263 det 407 SS

Balanced Build
Gives you 473 acc 520 crit 255 det 407 SS

All of these builds look to be a little better than the old BiS.

How viable would it be to go below acc requirements and keep up rod/hawk? Would it be a dps decrease if you sacrifice acc for crit and det?Well I guess it would only be feasible with x2 Bard set up

What about the new bow? If you use the Elfin Bow and swap the tights for Allagan pants you would be way up on Crit and up a little on Acc and Det while only losing 3 DEX and some skill speed

The Elfin bow and Allagan bow are actually very very close.
+1 Weapon damage and +3 dex and +27 acc(which allows you to add more crit and det in other slots)does put the Allagan ever so slightly ahead of the Elfin bow.
