Ironworks Bard gear dilemma....

You can take a look at the WoD pieces here: http://imgur.com/a/Aub5g

Thanks for the link! Damn, I want that bard gear for glamour lol. Was planning to gear up an alt job with the WoD gear, but that's going to have to wait lol
I'm sure the WoD chest and leg pieces would be excellent placeholders because anything would be better than the Iron Works chest and leg pieces lol

Really... I think the Ironworks set probably looks the best, I don't dig the WoD set. I'd rather you keep your Dreadwyrm set lol.

Unless there are new vanity crafts avail in 2.5...

Hello, thanks for the input, yes I should have mentioned I'm not really that interested in doing coils. I did turn 5 but just didn't really seem that fun....So the consensus is that if I'm not doing coil I'll go ahead and keep my current gear and just get the Ironworks boots, that's what I was edging towards anyway for now. Everybody seems to say to stay away from SS just seems so slow at times when the abilities are recycling...Anybody know what the formula is for the reduction in time for SS, I did some digging and supposedly 10 SS knocks only .01 seconds off? Is that correct? If thats the case, yeah pretty worthless stat alright lol

Okay so I did a test with a stop watch with the boots off and on which would be a reduction of 25 skill speed, so in my case anyway with my reaction time and what I saw on the stop watch the difference wasn't even negligible.....

Really if you aren't doing coil... None of the min maxing really matters and you can go for pure iLvl upgrades and be able to do any of the content you want. Yes there will be more optimal setups but you don't need them for dungeons and CT raids to do adequate DPS for the content.

Now if you want to min max because you find it fun go for it! Knowing your class and how they work will make you a better player and a good dps player is very noticeable. My point is for what you are doing it isn't required so don't agonize about not having BIS or the gil to drop on a max melded crafted piece if you can't reasonably afford it.

TBH... Dreadwyrm chest isn't that great either.

If WoD chest is Acc-Crit or Crit-Det it's an instant winner perhaps.

true! but better than kirimu due to vit and dex. here's to hoping WoD chest stats will be badass!

All this...agree!!

I ended up getting 110 melded chest and legs. Ironworks everything else. Unfortunately, I'm sitting on massive accuracy and little else lol.

Gear upgrades for BRD... something our static doesn't have an issue with. Every time a boss dies it has always dropped 1-2 pieces of BRD loot....

also, totally agree with Kazumac 100%

Please let it happen! Tho I hope for crit/acc the most xc
