BRD gear questions ACC & DMG

[Ooshima]

I'll just use Hawk's eye and ROD during the short period that requires higher than 472 accuracy for T2.

Else, here's my set up using Elfin Bow to reach 472:

Elfin Bow

Allagan Visor of Aiming
Bard's Shirt
Bard's Ringbands
Hero's Belt of Aiming
Bard's Tights
Ballad Boots

Ultima Choker of Aiming
Hero's Earrings of Aiming
Inferno Bangle of Aiming
Vortex Ring of Aiming
Ultima Ring of Aiming

Stuffed Cabbage HQ

Avg ilvl: 87.5

487 DEX
472 ACC
559 CRIT
266 DET

Skill speed for bard, seriously?

Skill speed for bard, seriously?

Yes, really.

The way content works on this game, you need two sets. One will be your no accuracy set, and this takes no thought. You can stack so much crit, det, and skill speed.It's silly, and great for anything not Coil.

Your raid set is much more strict. You need to hit the accuracy cap for Asclepius, while your casters typically deal with Hygeia. Keep in mind the new content coming, and be prepared if you're going to attempt server first. I've set my BIS list to 473 acc and eat HQ Buttons in a Blanket for twin with this in mind, but you can comfortably aim for 463-465 acc if Twin is still your primary concern.

[BrandoH]

Yes, really.

That actually looks pretty fun. After I get the other 3 T5 drops I'll probably try that set out, lol. TP would probably be hell on Twin.

[Ooshima]

Yes, really.

How much GCD does it cut down from base 2.5s to warrant 110+ sacrifice in secondary stats?

You definitely don't need two sets.

Down to 2.34s. And how do you figure there's a sacrifice?
