Bravura.. a little to plain?

So my whole FC is now getting relics as we clear titan over and over, and I got my Bravura tonight and I find the design a bit, underwhelming? It could honestly be mistaken for a low level axe. Ifrit/Garuda/Titan these axes were amazing looking with glow effects and just general design. I realize that Bravura +1 will have a glow effect but still, for me, that is a few weeks away.

I like it tbh. I don't want to play a class based around being a beast and having a fruity -looking-sparkling weapon. I want something that looks like cold steel with which to cleave my enemies. I like that it's black and brutal.

Then again that's just my opinion.

I didn't say I cared about the glowing effect. I implied that it might make it look better, but something more exotic would have been preferred.. All that work and it is rather mundane. Look at the intricacy of the MNK weapon or the sheer impact the DRG weapon has on first glance, that is what I expected.. It's a great weapon and it will get a large amount of use, but I am a bit let down.

Don't talk about my precious! D=

idgaf about bravura since i accidentally abandoned the quest... i will just aim garuda or titan axe for now

This explains why Derplender left the bravura on the battlefield of Carteneau.

:rolleyes:

I think the weapon looks Terrible.. The Garuda Axe though... it looks good.

IMO bravura +1 is a waste of mythlology. You're better off getting AF+1 armor instead.

Stop giving advice.

For most classes the best thing they can do with their first 900 tomes is upgrade their weapon to +1. In fact, the only class you can argue against doing this is PLD - where you should spend your first 600 on the shield but forget about the sword.

He's right about the stats, the upgrade is not worth 900 tomes, the damage might be worth it if you are having threat issues, but I highly doubt it. I had no issues tanking for relic'd FC members while using Ifrit's axe, and now with Bravura there is no issue. I think the AF2 is a better option for 900 tomes.

i agree 100%

as a tank
getting relic+1 instead of af2 is a shitty choice.

Bravura +1 is the biggest boost to your self heals you can get.

Guys arguing over stats aside, appearance-wise I think the Bravura just FITS warrior.
So raw

Hmm upgrade my best in slot weapon which I won't be replacing for several months or purchase an AF+1 with identical or sometimes worse stat allocations compared to Allagan drops in coil and risk getting it replaced.

As far as point investment goes, putting those first 900 into your weapon is the best deal.

For those who haven't seen the glow:

Yeah, that suits me just fine. Ifrit's axe and Garuda's axes were a bit silly with the way they were designed. The Bravura is an ornate axe, but it is designed with simplicity and attention to function rather than aesthetics. This is an axe that I have no trouble believing is deadly. Then you add in the pink glow and I can't help but recall Vegeta's BAD MAN shirt from DBZ. Win, win.

Also, if you're fighting at night, you're the life of the party. No need for sparklers, just play WAR.
