Current BIS for Bard

[BrandoH]

The itemization is a little whack, but I think the current end goal for BRD should be something like http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/M3NO

Pretty much the same as what everybody came up with. Though I think the Auroral Earrings are better than the Allagan, more Accuracy and Crit instead of Skill Speed.

This is correct. The accuracy requirements are pretty tough in the later turns. I was running around 490+ in T9 and was missing. I would recommend getting as much accuracy as you can, which might require using Lava Toad Legs. I'll try and do some testing tonight and see what I can come up with.

493 accuracy tad low imo, would take allagan choker, auroral ear and auroral ring.

I would switch to Auroral Earrings as well, 13 Critical Hit Rate is better than 19 Skill Speed, the extra accuracy is even a nice bonus just in case you should need it on higher tiers. Also, why are you using Buttons in a Blanket in a BiS for food, Assuming you are using this set, the difference between Buttons in a Blanket versus Deviled Eggs is 15 Critical Hit Rate vs. 15 Determination. Because of the massive reduction in Critical hit Rate we get in 2.2 Apkallu Omelette actually gives the same Critical Hit Rate as Deviled Eggs but with more VIT. But with the old Critical Hit Rate we used in 2.1 would give 3 more until you get this set.

Deviled Eggs would give:

24 Crit (cap 24) Max stat required: 480
17 VIT (cap 14) Max stat required: 350
9 Acc (cap 10) Max stat required: 500

Apkallu Omelette would give:

24 Crit (cap 27) Max stat required: 540
22 VIT (cap 19) Max stat required: 380
9 Acc (cap 11) Max stat required: 550


Button in a Blanket would give:

15 Determination (cap 16) Max stat required: 320
17 VIT (cap 15) Max stat required: 375
9 Crit (cap 10) Max stat required: 500


Black Truffle Risotto would give:

15 Determmination (cap 17) Max stat required: 340
22 VIT (cap 19) Max stat required: 380
9 Crit (cap 11) Max stat required: 550


Lava Toad Legs would give:

24 Acc (cap 27) Max stat required: 540
22 VIT (cap 19) Max stat required: 380
9 Crit(cap 11) Max stat required: 550

The numbers on the left are based on the set you posted in ariyala but with the Auroral Earrings. If the number on the left is over the cap, just look at the cap to see what you would get, I just put how much it would give you if there was no cap.

With the Auroral Earrings and Apkallu Omelette you still have 511 Critical Hit Rate, and though you may or may not need it all, actually innately comes with 510 Accuracy.
