    Is the current accepted BIS, as far as I can tell. The secondary stats at that point really do outweigh the main stat.
    I decided to take a look at it for myself just to see.

    Math below

    Bard Stat Weights
    DEX: 1.000
    DET: 0.320
    CRT: 0.339
    SS: 0.161

    Best In Slot (Pentamelds)
    DEX 626
    ACC 535
    CRIT 698
    DET 380
    SS 399

    = 626 + 0 + 236.622 + 121.6 + 64.239
    = 1048.461

    Best in Slot using Drops/Poetics
    *(Disclaimer: I'm sure there's a better way to optimize it, but I just switched 1 piece to hit the accuracy to a not-best piece.)*
    DEX 660
    ACC 541
    CRIT 578
    DET 341
    SS 363
    = 660 + 195 109.12 + 58.443
    1022.563


    Yea. You lose a little bit going with a full set of drops/Poetics, but as you can tell, it's really not that much of a difference in the long run, and only the most hardcore of players will be taking a set of i120 in instead of a set of i130. At this point in the game, if you're still using the i120 set and you have the full set, it's likely because you were there on week 1 trying to push DPS. Most bards don't go this far.

    Not to discredit your thoughts on premades, though. I agree there 110% - your ilevel shouldn't matter. You should be allowed to do this however you want to if you're in a premade.
