Ironworks vs WoD

[Zumi]

No item in WoD is BiS, over a 130 item like augmented ironworks. You lose out on your main stat and vit. The less vit you have the more likely you are to die like on T13 you don't have enough hp you can die to Megaflare, Gigaflare, Rage of Bahamut. When you are dead you do 0 dps so vit is important.

Dreadwyrm body is better

[Melriss]

Dreadwyrm body is better

44 Crit > 33 SS + 105 HP

May be wrong on the VIT value though.

Dreadwyrm body is better

Mind backing that up with facts? Based on math done with current stat weights, Demon Tabard of Aiming has a combined equivalent of 66.956 DEX, whereas the Dreadwyrm one has a stat equivalent of 66.193 DEX. Besides, you don't need 130 everything to survive T13 as a bard.

You do not need to be full 130 to get the recommendet HP pool (6100+ for caster, including group buff and food) for "easier" mode.

SSPD does in fact affect pets despite what SE has said in the past

Source? If this would be true, we would see it in the tooltip (cooldowntime) and it would be measureable.

I remember a video being posted where a pet skill went off CD faster with higher spsd - think it was a SCH testing something. Might be in healer forums.

Yep, people have done testing quite recently that showed that Spell Speed was affecting pets, although the cooldowns explicitly were not reflecting it. This is why people think it might be a bug.

Go with the WOD gear, worrying about T13 long before you get there is not going help out with the rest of the game. Spell kills your DPS, you could just buy rings and meld vit on to them, like ALL the every other FCOB player do.
