So I haven't really played in about 2 years. Only started again like a month or two ago.
Before the cap was raised I was using skill, chr/debuff, mnd, haste setups.
Now I see a lot of people saying chr/debuff sets aren't needed/necessary anymore.
What do I actually need now?
I gathered;
Song casting - set
Haste -
And what else? Confused now lol.

MACC/skill for any enfeebs you're using, although I've never had issues landing Lullaby on EXP mobs, Finale on NMs is never really resistant either unless it's specifically resistant to that particular spell. Elegy is the same.

Song casting-
Haste Song effect (Eg. full AF3+2 or random pieces with ballad +) Debuff set if you want to be super sure (I don't bother seeing as I've got capped skill) Cure potency (it's like 3 pieces) DD set I guess. I also use HMP and song duration / recast
But don't feel pressured into doing it. Capping skill and having relevant instruments is the most important thing you can do.

Pretty much this. Toss in an idle set and you're good to go. You don't need much on BRD these days. I still need to make a respectable idle set :(
panties go in every slot
 with or without refresh

It's sad that a Terra's and Vermy is pretty much my idle set at the moment... and AF3+2 feet for teh movement speedz So if you have capped skill now you don't actually need a debuff set unless you wanted to be totally sure?
What kinda things would you add into a idle set? Never really understood the things you could use in that. /noob < Fenrir.Reece said: So if you have capped skill now you don't actually need a debuff set unless you wanted to be totally sure?

And yeah, PDT, MDT, Refresh, Regen and movement speed Shiva.Flionheart said: Fenrir.Reece said: So if you have capped skill now you don't actually need a debuff set unless you wanted to be totally sure?

Thanks for help guys, can be confusing sometimes lol Sorry for double post. Would any consider this a decent idle set or have I gone way overboard or even worse is it absolutely terrible?
For an 'Idle' set that looks more like a weird PDT/MDT set, unsure as you have an MDT ring and Jelly ring with -MDT on. \0.0/
Surely you'd be better off with Refresh pieces no? Save those MDT/PDT pieces for individual macros. wivre hairpin with refresh, marduk jubbah, serpentes hands/feet, stearc subligar with refresh
twilight torque is better than whatever neck that is, umbra cape Phoenix.Fondue said: wivre hairpin with refresh, marduk jubbah, serpentes hands/feet, stearc subligar with refresh twilight torque is better than whatever neck that is, umbra cape Judging by his profile, he's brokeish (In regards to the subligar/Marduk Jubbah) Should try working on refresh hairpin hands/feet for sure though. If all else fails find someone to buy everything for you for little or no reason! That seems to work for some people. :< lmao yes that works quite well too!
but ya just mp+ in whatever slots and those i listed were the only refresh pieces bard gets other than moonshade earring with that augment, can make pdt/mdt macros as needed
Generally, I idle in Refresh gear on bard, MP earrings/neck/rings etc then if It can't get refresh/regen etc I put PDT there. But I'm somewhat of an aggressive bard. :<

What rings are people using now for BRD?
If skill+ isn't a big issue now, nereid isn't needed. and CHR+ isn't needed either. What would you use? Fenrir.Reece said: What rings are people using now for BRD? If skill+ isn't a big issue now, nereid isn't needed. and CHR+ isn't needed either. What would you use? MP Nereids for Debuff personally. Oh and Minstrels for precast. Other than that, there are no good rings.

funstealer said: because everything you do is inside abyssea? The majority is yeah. And if you're really desperate for MP it's not hard to Tenuto Ballads on yourself. An idle set can quite happily sit in partial refresh and DT- gear. You hardly need a specific set for either. I doubt there's even enough relevant gear to justify it. |
