Current BIS for Bard

[BrandoH]

Food can solve any current accuracy issues just fine. In the case of the eventual BIS list, I could see how the Auroral Earrings could be better (especially if the stat weights above are correct).

I'm glad I subscribed to this thread...

Anyway, my FC has yet to beat T5 and I'm about 240 soldiery away from the new body piece. Should I just wait until I get 900 and buy two accessories instead? I see some of you don't think the body is the best upgrade.

My current build is

Full myth on left side (want to replace the myth feet with allagan once it drops) and then myth earring, allag choker, myth bracelet, ultima (-_-) ring, and myth ring. Acc sitting somewhere around 466-478.

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

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.

Hi everyone! Before I make my Soldiery purchase for the week, I wanted to check with you guys on something. I need a bit more accuracy for T6 and beyond (still no Allagan pants T_T) , and given that all left-side Soldiery gear besides the chest and the belt are absolute garbage, I'm going to be purchasing accessories. I'm currently leaning towards the Auroral Ring because whether or not I like the itemization of it (skill speed) it remains our only option for our second ring slot. Here's my issue: The Auroral Choker has the same amount of accuracy on it but swaps Determination for Skill Speed, however as far as I'm aware it is not listed as BiS in any of the sets posted around here. It's a great piece, but it would ultimately be a temporary upgrade; I'd prefer to buy for longevity if at all possible.

Am I correct in assuming that there is no situation that we'd prefer the Auroral Choker to the High Allagan alternative, besides a massive accuracy requirement for T9? Thanks!

Hi new on this Bard thread. Seems like crit hit is missing from a good amount of the Auroral gear. Only Body, ear and wrist has crit . I know accuracy is important but look I'll be spending most of my new tomes on my 2nd jobs after I gewt all the new crit gear.
