Coil hates me and refuses to drop any BRD stuff outside of Turn 1 (seriously does anyone else have this issue? I've been farming coil for AT LEAST 3 months) so allagan bewtz are out of the question for now, and I'm kind of tired of my quint meld stuff "gimping" my iLvl. I have a semi-fresh 50 WAR that def needs the myth tomes more than my BRD aka buying the BRD myth boots, so no dice on those. My WAR also would benefit from CT loot in at least 2 slots, so I'm not sure if I should blow my proverbial CT load on BRD boots that might not even be better than the ones I already have. I would have thought the extra DEX would put them ahead but with the recent stat weights I've seen, now I'm not so sure, since Ballad boots have NO crit or Det and my gryphs have 16 and 11, respectively.


HALP plz cuz this has been bugging me for a while
The fact that you type "lolSS" as a BRD clearly points out why you're even asking the question. They'll both be replaced with BIS pieces, take the cheaper Ballad route. Allows you to wear Elfin Bow with a few more accuracy pieces for Coil.
