Current BIS for Bard

[Keruvinde]

was it ever explained why bard is the only job with 4 pieces only dropping in turn 5? I know they arent all BIS but just curious as to why

If I get i90 feet with my current gear I will be at 440 acc :/ Ugh I hate bard gear set.

Unless youre just completely gearing your character wrong, there's no reason to be at such low accuracy. I've been fighting for 2 months to get below 480 acc.

[Lecreuset]

The high accuracy in t5 is supposedly only needed for the snake adds, not on the boss. I don't remember what I had for breakfast today so don't expect me to remember where I saw this lol

Well you can see my gear, its not exactly what I want but it's what I'm working with http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...acter/2950090/

It's that allagan jewelry. They're both worst in slot.

Aiming for Vortex ring next, and still thinking if I should buy Myth Bracelet and switch the Necklace to Ultima, because it seems the i70 with full meld is about the same stats. with Ultima, just losing about 3 crit which is....... really not noticeable, but gaining a bit of VIT and SS if I use the i70 choker.

[NeonC]

You know I actually have the Hero Bracelet, I completely forgot that I had it. Been wearing the allagen for so long. Well that makes things more manageable, if I use that I might not need to get ultima choker and feet wont destroy my acc. At this point I'm aiming for Allagen feet and tremor earings then Elfin Bow. See where that brings me.

I've come up with a BiS Crit build for my bard. It is as follows:

Elfin Bow
Bard's Chapeau
Bard's Shirt
Bard's Ringbands
Hero's Belt of Aiming
Allagan Trousers of Aiming
Allagan Sollerets of Aiming
Ultima Choker of Aiming
Hero's Earrings of Aiming
Inferno Bangle of Aiming
Allagan Ring of Aiming
Hero's Ring of Aiming
+Deviled Eggs HQ=

DEX 493
ACC 475
CRIT 590
DET 262
S.SPEED 352
VIT 387

Determination is a low in this build, but as bard relies on Crit for their Bloodletter Procs, I feel it is more important.
