Current BIS for Bard

[Sachiko-Chan]

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.

srlsy???

590 crit

my 584

ur determination 262 and my 295... for 6 crit more...

Hello I guess this is the best place to ask. I got BRD to 50 this morning and beat titan tonight (got titan bow) and in the process of farming tomes for oil. Is Titan bow better than Relic? It has Det but no skill speed and a lil bit more AA, so I figured that would be better. I plan on doing Coils.

Also next week I'll have enough Myth Tomes to buy the Relic body. Should I buy Body 1st, Accessories, or 2 495 pieces?

The raw weapon damage and DEX increase on the Relic is better.

Buy the ring and belt, then shirt, then gloves, then earrings. Base DL + Relic with the ring and belt is plenty for Coil 1-4.

That would be true if you were talking Relic Zenith, but Titan Bow and base Relic are both ilvl 80 nowadays. To answer the question, both weapons have the same "DPS" stat, so it comes down to Skill Speed versus Determination. I'd take the Determination.

Settle with Titan Bow, it's more than enough to get you to Elfin Bow or Allagan Bow. Getting the Zenith version is just waste of myth IMO.

Artemis looks far better though.

Can anybody suggest BiS for bard that can't get Allagan bow, but using Elder bow? (lv 90 primal).

Because it doesn't give accuracy, it seem to need the change on the whole gear set.

I assume you were referring to Elfin Bow? If that so, then you would need the Allagan Trouser to compensate from the accuracy loss, but then again, IIRC it's a T5 drop.

Only one way? what about use other part to make up?

This set would work.

Note that you're having to drop two of your slots to ilvl 80 to make the accuracy work, losing 4 DEX in the process (not to mention the other stats). The only other way to keep it to ilvl 90 would involve at least one T5 drop.
