Novus Bow? Stats?

[MrYaah]

No, crafted hands and belt isn't BiS and neither is the Augmented Ironworks Ring.

-sigh-

I wasn't claiming that set specifically was BiS, just giving an example of an eminently obtainable build.

Absolute BiS

notice crafted gloves and belt

This build was proven by a bis solver i wrote that uses the equations used to calculate statweights as a comparison metric to account for interrelations of value between stats, in addition it brute forced the best build (took about an hour to do all the comparisons) from every possible version of melds that are viable (IV's only, every number of available accuracy (9, 18, 19, 25, etc), always maximizing damage otherwise and version of melds that involved capping acc and a stat rather than skillspeed because people like you)

All the work I've put into bis calculations can be found in this repo, well, theres some stuff I havnt pushed recently but all the stuff involved in finding the previously linked build are in the repo below. Its completely open if you wish to critique it yourself. I fully intend to further optimize it and hopefully make it the defacto standard of bard statweight and bis calculations.

If you want to disagree with this then show me math and explain why, dont use any subjective opinions like "I don't think skillspeed is worth anything" which i know is literally the only thing you think mister I'd rather quadrameld my gear and leave an empty slot than meld skillspeed.
