BRD 2.4 gear progression approach

[RinchanNau]

You guys can enjoy your 1 extra DPS if RNG goes your way w/ the Kirimu coat vs the Dreadwyrm. I'll take the vit, def, and mdef of the i130 all day. I guess if you never do progression while the content is fresh and have no plans on doing savage FCoB then the Kirimu is BiS if you have the money to pentalmeld it with four Savage Aim IV and one Savage Might IV. Have fun with that.

Up until this past week I absolutely had to wear crafted i90 accessories w/ vit for our t13 farm. Vit is not valueless. Survivability is crucial. A dead BRD does 0 DPS.

I agree with you, but the Kirimu Coat pentamelded is definitely better than the Poetics Body piece. I'd wager the same applies with the pants.

Dreadwyrm gear drops though and I'm on that stuff like white on rice.

Now is the question is: is the 125 relic better than the 130 ironworks? Ironworks is 5 ilevels higher and most likely 1WD stronger but has a disgusting amount of skill speed.

This weapon is a new weapon. We have no idea at the moment if the Novus system (aka choose your stats) will be kept or not. I think we just have to wait for xivdb data mining

The Novus chosen stat will be carried over. The upgrade is just a continuation like how Nexus was, with new name and new design, no glows.

it is better than the Skillspeed bow. dang it. i wish i have more time to get my Yoichi Bow. the stupid skillspeed bow is killing my TP in coil. i sing TP for myself more than what our melee needs :/

Yeah Relic seems to me like a temporary or glam piece now, lol.
If i may ask what stats are some of you adding to the kimiru coat? I just got one the other day and was thinking crit and some det to make up for not having full det on my Novus
I curently stand at 547 acc (overkill) crit 467 and det 301, skill speed is 416
Really i have played more as blm and now Nin as mains so have upgraded those in poetic but do wish to continue on with Bard as well

Yoichi Bow is a glam piece? Nah, Yoichi over I130 magitek anyday.

Agreed I think I'm gonna dust off the atma and just get on with it. I can't even take into account the stat weight of sksp on ironworks, I just hate it xc + the fact that yoichi will go 135 and...will be same as dreadwyrm....if my static clears fcob ik rengesus will throw us every weap but bow :3

Kirimu Tricrone (melds: ACC+9+9+6, Crit+6, SS+6)

I find this interesting....might get one and meld it with acc 9/6/6/6 and 6 crit. Should be a pretty solid upgrade over my ironworks hat. Is it better than upgraded ironworks hat though?

But it will end up being obsolete in future updates anyhow, Relics never remain bis and heck for some classes they are not
