What is PLD BiS?

[SpookyGhost]

Right. Like. I see where you're coming from - if you've got the opportunity to farm for BiS why not take the time to do it? But my point is that it's NOT worth the time investment to GET BiS. It's NOT going to help. It's just... not. The differences are so inconsequential that you literally would not notice it at all. I guarantee you, if a group in full i90 BiS with Allagan weapon beat Twintania in (let's just say as an example) 11:48, a group in non-i90 BiS with Allagan weapon would beat it in 11:50-11:55. Does that REALLY matter? Is that small amount of extra DET or Crit Rate or Skill Speed REALLY going to do anything for you? Is it worth spending hours and hours in the same turn, hoping for your piece to FINALLY drop?

Now, on another note, if it happens to be faster for you to get x Allagan piece vs farming for Myth for it (let's say, the chest from t1 vs the tome cost it would take to get the Myth equivalent) then sure, farm for that all you want. But actually aiming for specifically BiS and sinking all that time into getting it... it's just way too much effort for way too little reward.

I know in MOST MMOs with ACTUAL gear systems have TRUE BiS that ACTUALLY affect how you perform in a certain instance or a certain boss fight, but this isn't one of those MMOs. At least not yet. The differences, truely, are so so so so so so so small. It SERIOUSLY will not be the difference between you winning or losing in T6. As long as you hit whatever the accuracy cap is and have max of your main stats, your secondary stats will mean NOTHING. Seriously. I'm not kidding. It's. So. Pointless. It. Is. Such. A. Waste. Of Time. Don't. Do. This. To. Yourself.

If they ACTUALLY start varying the gear to the point where BiS actually holds any weight, like say giving x piece a higher chance of restarting the cooldown on x move (like a proc, but attached to your gear) - THAT would be a piece that could ACTUALLY affect how you progress. That literally could be a make or break piece for certain content. But as it is now, it is a MASSIVE waste of time. Don't do it. Seriously. Just. Don't do it.
