Dancer on Bard gear huge error?

[hynaku]

I never thought of dnc not being strong when one step dance hits most time for 100k and other for 160k along with boosting skills. Why would a dancer use ninja gear when it is long range dps job and not close range dps job like a ninja. Could see it use ninja gear if didn't use ranged weapons.

Personally, I'd rather see Ninja folded into Aiming gear and remove an extra set from my armory chest. Merge Dragoon into Striking while we're at it, their odd niche of "DPS with more armor" fell away a long time ago.

I don't have a problem with dancer on aiming gear. Sure, once in a while, you may get some sets that don't favor dancer well, but that happens with all of these groups.

I do however think that many aiming sets fit rdm better than traditional caster robes do a lot of the time, but even then there are good glams to pick from for rdm too.

I can understand DNC using scouting gear from a style point of view. (And personally I kinda wish another class used scouting) but then it hit me.

How would they wear the most stylish set in the game?

Lol I remember in a thread telling people that after playing both I didn't see much difference in single target damage between SMN and RDM.

Wow you should have seen the hissy fits over that one lol.

DNC and BRD share more overlap than DNC and NIN do though, the problem with Aiming is MCH being high-tech bang bang steampunk guns and BRD/DNC being traditional performers.

This tier just happens to be ugly for DNC... maybe next tier MCH will find itself with a lot more skin showing to compensate. We're just gonna have to take turns and glam when it isn't ours.

To be fair, Dancer could use the extra vitality since dancer AOE is melee range, so there is some small justification for wishing it used the Ninja gear instead of Aiming gear.. Dancer is a hybrid... ranged single target damage, melee aoe damage, support with the 2 damage buffs and shield samba. I don't even know what the ninja gear looks like, haven't looked since I am only just now finally leveling all my melee classes to 80.

Problem being with sharing Bard/mach gear is that correct if i am wrong Machinist and Bard benefits from Skill Speed, for DNC it is junk unless you have huge amounts of it, even then..
While it would have been more work i still think DNC should of had it's own gear (Personal opinion)

That's because you're objectievly wrong and are insisting you are correct based of feelycraft

Personally I would have paired DNC with NIN, both glamour and aesthetic wise, because they are very agile, flexible and fast moving characters. A NIN is what a DNC would be in melee and vice versa.
