Maximizing my damage as BRD?

[HyoMinPark]

This is an extremely comprehensive guide involving a lot of theorycrafting and optimization tips for BRD. It’s quite long, but I highly recommend reading it. I’m far from being “the best” when it comes to BRD, but I utilized a lot of information in this guide when I started optimizing the job in Stormblood. It also contains the current BiS for BRD, and secondary stat priority for you to consider when melding (Crit > D.Hit > Det > Skill Speed).

As for your current numbers, remember that gear not only plays a huge part, but party composition as well. Having a DRG in your party will easily grant you an extra 200~300 DPS from Disembowel alone, not to mention the bonuses to your critical hit stat from Battle Litany; a SCH with Chain Strategem also goes a long way to helping BRD, and AST’s Spear cards as well.
