Went through and tested it to hell. Victory March now caps at 600 total skill. Very easy to see with decent gear and Lv 85 skills.
Victory March caps at 600 total skill for 96/1024 Haste. (+2 Instrument adds +32/1024 making this total 128/1024 Haste. 12.5% Haste.)
What does this mean for the future of marches?
(Champion's March is just some fictional new march tier I'm using for the purposes of this post.)
Advancing March caps at 64/1024 (96/1024 /w +2 Instrument) [9.375%]
Victory March caps at 96/1024 (128/1024 /w +2 Instrument) [12.5%]
Champion's March will probably cap at 128/1024 (160/1024 /w +2 Instrument) [15.625%]
Right now the non-SV cap for marches:
Victory + Advancing = (128 + 96 = 224/1024 = 21.875% Haste)
Haste Spell + Victory + Advancing = (224 + 150 = ~35.5% Haste)
SV'd Victory + Advancing is exactly 43.75%, the Magic Haste Cap. (No need for Haste Spell.)
Currently +2 is the highest march instrument available. Assuming SE will release a +3 instrument in the future and hopefully Gjallar trials, the following will work:
Advancing March: 64 + 48 = 112/1024 = 10.94% Haste
Victory March: 96 + 48 = 144/1024 = 14.06% Haste
Champion's March: 128 + 48 = 17.19% Haste
Just to add: Lv 85 BRD has 560 total natural skill. You only need 40 skill from either merits or eq to cap. Pretti much any BRD can cap now, and next update every BRD will be capped.
They better release them non offensive relic trials pretty quick, because someone is losing it's thunder. I'm looking at you

Well I kinda started playing today and I am COMPLETELY and utterly lost when it comes to BRD gear now. I'm not sure what Atma you'd use or anything or optimal gear with said Atma...
God damn it, anyone know for an updated BRD guide?

cheers, I'm way behind though, my MNK gear was crap before these updates and my BRD gear was mediocre. I'm not even sure if a Sha'ir manteel is worth it any more with Atma.

AF3 is your 1st stop i'd say. movement speed feet, af3 legs HQ+2 is ballad+1, new horn that's ballad +1. And make sure you can land elegy on mobs that are weak to it.

My brd isn't the most awesome in the world.. but some nice gear has come out thats pretty cheap..
here are a couple new pieces
quire grip 8K >>> singing skill +3
mesmeric cape 100k >>>> chr +8 magic acc +4
I been using atma of thrashing tendrils (+30 chr) and atma of the deep devourer for my brd (song cast -20%)...
both of the nm's that drop the atma are fairly weak and can be soloed easy enough by the right jobs.
i'm not at the song fast cast cap (i haven't felt the need to go out and spend a billion gil on all the new hp convert stuff for my minstrel's ring) so thats the reason i use the song speed one >_>

atma of razed ruins for DD brd during song downtime or atma of minikin monstrosity for /whm or /rdm curage would benefit you a lot more than +30 chr atma, considering I have rarely seen a good bard get resists in abyssea.

Cheers for that list, that should help tons. I was thinking Deep devourer, But I was wondering if the Macc one is any good too. I saw no skill atma, few refresh ones so I don't the the Sha'ir (in abyssea) is as good any more seeing as you can hit 25% with ease with that Atma.

I'm gonna start on that. I've never had elegy not hit often so I think I'll be ok as long as I can keep near cap.
