    No way to see TP that I know of.

    I always do Rain of Arrows on Titan before MB/Stomps. It's the same as being inside Sacred Soil. Stack the two and you're at 20% damage reduction.

    Requiem benefits from not decreasing your damage like the other two songs do. Use it in a party of mages, on Titan Heart if you have a BLM/SMN, etc.

    Invigorate at LNC 22 is probably one of the best abilities in the game, especially if you're AoEing a bunch for whatever reason. Blood for Blood at 34 LNC is also very good.

  5. #105

    You should get LNC to 34 eventually for Blood for Blood as well.

    While we're on the subject of crossclass: Blood for Blood, Invigorate, Internal Release, Second Wind?, ...

    5th? Been using Mantra for lack of anything I'd actually remember to use in a fight.

    I haven't brought my BRD into dungeons yet, just primals and Hydra where I haven't had the need for Featherfoot. SCH main so I don't know if I should expect to ever be hit by not-avoidable stuff.

    I keep Haymaker as my fifth ability, it comes up a decent amount in AoE heavy fights and is great TP/damage ratio (plus the slow)

  10. #110

    Once you have River of Blood, u should always use Internal Release with you Wind / Venomous Bite.

    Of course a mixed with Eagle Eye or Raging Strike is good.

    b4b, internal release, second wind, invig, mantra

    that's what I use, i've never put back featherfoot on the bar after getting mantra because it was mostly a wasted slot

  12. #112

    Feather foot really only pair with haymaker when you solo.
    Or if you joined a died-fast-tank's DF group.

  13. #113
    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    While I'm working towards relic bow.
    I have a look at xivdb.com data...
    Which is really confusing me.

    Relic+1 = DPS 12.50
    http://xivdb.com/?item/6261/Artemis-Bow-+1

    Garuda Bow = DPS 14.92
    http://xivdb.com/?item/1952/Garuda's-Spine

    Relic = DPS 12.20
    http://xivdb.com/?item/1955/Artemis-Bow

    Look to me, Garuda bow pwn'd them all ?!
    Weird...

    And I'm using HQ Longarm Bow, which I believed it is closed or better than Twin Adder with melded material.
    I am working on the materials tho...

    6 VIT (providing more HP lol)
    12 CRITS

    If it is not capped with 12 CRITs, I'll probably go for 18 CRITs.

  15. #115

    DPS is a meaningless stat, the AA rating on a weapon is your AA damage and the physical DMG rating is your skills (which are not effected by the delay of the weapon).

    Idk why they put it in there, they're dividing the weapon's physical damage, which effects skills, by it's delay, which effects auto-attack speed.

    If you want a "DPS" rating for your AA damage, divide the AA damage rating by the delay.

    If you want a "DPS" rating for your skills, divide the DMG rating by your GCD (obviously pointless as the GCD is the same regardless of weapon, unless it happens to have skill speed on it in which case it'll be reduced the expected small amount).

  16. #116

    Delay versus AA versus DMG ... Damn going to be more complicated now w w w

    DMG trumps all. There is no if ands or buts to that. Not complicated.

    Thanks, man!
    In that case, (HQ) Longarm = GC Bow.
    And ...

    Relic +1 > Relic > Garuda > GC, HQ Longarm, Darklight

    Yesterday, while crafting I did DF on Ifrit and Garuda Hardmode with my Longarm HQ bow.

    And ding! Ifrit Bow is mine now...

    Now having 3 Bow to try...

    HQ Longarm
    Darklight
    Ifrit (this one lack of Crits ...)

    Btw, bard fellowship!
    Wanderer Palace is really good fun !
    If you haven't done it, you should try it!
