This is true, and I have MNK and drg leveled as well and need to gear them up also. I may end up going with STR/DEX pants then. I did the same thing when I got Felt bracers with STR for war,mnk, and drg, instead of getting cobalt mitt gauntlets.

The thing is, for bard, I was planning on getting a raptorskin subligar, and I believe felt trousers are the better piece for monk and dragoon (and warrior, but thats a different meld needed). I may end up just getting both. I'll get the money for it eventually. Time for more crafting/spiritbonding.
