Bravura.. a little to plain?

[Ipkonfig]

So my whole FC is now getting relics as we clear titan over and over, and I got my Bravura tonight and I find the design a bit, underwhelming? It could honestly be mistaken for a low level axe. Ifrit/Garuda/Titan these axes were amazing looking with glow effects and just general design. I realize that Bravura +1 will have a glow effect but still, for me, that is a few weeks away.

I like it tbh. I don't want to play a class based around being a beast and having a fruity -looking-sparkling weapon. I want something that looks like cold steel with which to cleave my enemies. I like that it's black and brutal.

Then again that's just my opinion.

I didn't say I cared about the glowing effect. I implied that it might make it look better, but something more exotic would have been preferred.. All that work and it is rather mundane. Look at the intricacy of the MNK weapon or the sheer impact the DRG weapon has on first glance, that is what I expected.. It's a great weapon and it will get a large amount of use, but I am a bit let down.

idgaf about bravura since i accidentally abandoned the quest... i will just aim garuda or titan axe for now

This explains why Derplender left the bravura on the battlefield of Carteneau.

I think the weapon looks Terrible.. The Garuda Axe though... it looks good.

IMO bravura +1 is a waste of mythlology. You're better off getting AF+1 armor instead.

Stop giving advice.

For most classes the best thing they can do with their first 900 tomes is upgrade their weapon to +1. In fact, the only class you can argue against doing this is PLD - where you should spend your first 600 on the shield but forget about the sword.

[Ipkonfig]

He's right about the stats, the upgrade is not worth 900 tomes, the damage might be worth it if you are having threat issues, but I highly doubt it. I had no issues tanking for relic'd FC members while using Ifrit's axe, and now with Bravura there is no issue. I think the AF2 is a better option for 900 tomes.
