Demon Tabard of Aiming vs Dreadwyrm Tabard of Aiming

[Xellos2099]

I just cleared t13 last week and i got both the bow and the body for bard. Would the dreadwyrm Tabard be better than demon tabard?

Go with the Demon Tabard.

It gives slightly more dps than the dreadworm tabard (according to current stat weights) and doesn't come with ugly skillspeed.

The only thing you lose is a bit of vit but that's not an issue.

[Xellos2099]

Hmm i guess i will just use it for t13 for the extra vit... gigaflare with not monk can hurt liek hell

Your scholar needs to get good no offense. Succor, sacred soil and virus should be more than enough to survive with 1.5 health

There has been recent info about how skillspeed is even worse than we already knew, ala Dervy's blog, so it skewed the numbers even further towards Demon's favor.

MrYaahs got Bard BiS gearing covered

I believe the Demon Tabard is used for a lot of gear sets.

Yea, the math says that demon tabard is better than dreadwyrm unless you need the extra defense. For example, I've been using the dreadwyrm tabard for t7 savage progression because quad venomous tails + fireball is freaking scary. But if you're comparing their value solely by how much dps they give you (which is how you should compare them for 99% of content) the demon tabard is the winner.

I still like my Kimiru Coat
However seeing that all wod ever drops in my runs is darn Bard gear i may as well pick it up and be done with gear for the week, lol

Shouldn't more dex = more over all stronger hits?
Also 8 det= 1 dex.
So the turn 13 chest is like saying you have 54 dex compared to the WoD one.
You also gave that extra HP and Defence.

I don't know what the value of DET is given a certain level of DEX (and I do not fully trust values derived from the current damage formula), but I sincerely doubt it is worth that little.
