    Get more i90 pieces will help you out more in the long run. The stats are a much better improvement than +1 damage on that bow. Your damage without the +1 will still be one of the highest in the groups even in coil content. The +1 weapon is a big upgrade for many of the other jobs, but for bard it does not make much of a noticeable difference with the amount of mythology we have to use.

    Unless you are one of those players who wants a glowing weapon. A lot of bards I've been meeting are picking up the +1 for the aesthetic glow more so than the actual stats they are getting.

    Also we have tested 2 bards full DL one of them with +1 and other with chest AF2 and the second one have better DPS. (we tested 3 and the dps was gryphon chest >AF2 chest> +1) same rotations obviously.

    Nice. I feel like the crafted items iLevel doesn't do them enough justice. Those are some really strong items with the correct melds in them.

    Have you guys tested out other gears?

    Except that post is complete nonsense.
    +19 crit (most likely 12) and +18 det isn't ever going to beat +9 dex and +34 crit.

    Same rotations maybe, but if you're testing on Training dummies, one person could get WAY more River of Blood procs or even Misery's End's because the Dummy health spikes up and down so quickly.
    "We tested" doesn't mean much if you didn't look at how many Bloodletters/Misery's Ends each of you had.

    Misery's Ends was not in the rotation. And RoB have nothing to do with the health of the dummy / mobs

    You're right, but it's no less relevant information to tell people if you're trying to use your test as proof.
    # of RoB procs is still relevant even now that I know you weren't using ME.
