I think you're looking for this thread http://www.bluegartr.com/threads/111...le-Melded-Gear

Grats though! Very nice gloves.

that shit is bad ass!

**TacoTaru** · 2012-08-26 13:12

Can someone explain to me what the stat priorities are for BRD? My understanding was to push stat caps then Atk, but I've seen a lot of posts of people barely moving 300 on PIE, and sub 300 on DEX, but pushing up ATK a lot. I know Light Shot being more of your total damage than AA does for melee is part of it, but it seems like being so far away from the caps is counter productive.

**Churchill** · 2012-08-26 13:27

I don't know where you're seeing people barely post 300 on PIE, if you are then those people can be put into retard category and you can move on from their posts any time they show up.

DEX has to be a piece by piece comparison, but at times AP can be more valuable than straight DEX. I use AP bracers, if I had a pair of bracers with monster DEX I'd use those. If I had an even more monster set of AP bracers, I would use those.

This is what I assumed, but I saw a few different people doing it so I thought I may have been wrong on needing to push the main stat at all (at least for BRD); good to know otherwise. That said, here is the gear I was charting out for my wife for when she has Garuda and eventually Artemis. Am I relying too much on PIE/DEX and not enough on ATK? I felt like I balanced it fairly well, but now I'm not so sure.

Looked over the gear/food stats and fixed the errors; removed adding STR and DEX to totals in ATK and ACC. Hopefully that cleaned everything up.

I am not qualified to make any gear suggestions, but you might want to just... start all over with your little spreadsheet there.

Veteran's Field Belt does not have 3 Piety.
Felt Bracers have accuracy.
Your HP doesn't add up correctly.

I stopped looking after seeing those problems, but there might be more.

**TacoTaru** · 2012-08-27 11:44

I appear to have left over stats when I swapping gear around a couple of weeks ago that I didn't catch; I'll have to fix that. HP isn't really relevant, I just kind of left it in there without reason.

Should be fixed now, but let me know if you see anything else.

**Churchill** · 2012-08-27 12:05

Give me the spreadsheet and I'll use your gear and make it sexy

**Raldo** · 2012-08-27 12:15

DEX seems high, I'd swap one of those rings out for an accuracy ring (or the +atk one), but that's the end of my uneducated advice.

**Hiroishime** · 2012-08-27 12:17

That is alil bit too much DEX imo, i'd get double/triple attack gloves.

**Niiro** · 2012-08-27 17:38

Definitely way, way too much DEX. Seconding the ATK gloves.

Also DL feet are 15 PIE, not 20.

The boots have 20.

**Niiro** · 2012-08-27 17:52

Ah I forgot BRD could wear the mage pieces, assumed it just said boots as shorthand for caligae.

Given that Artemis is on par DPS-wise with other Relics (example: it's .1 DPS below the gay buldge), and since stat caps are based on DPS, I am thinking that PIE cap is going to be closer to 371-374.

**Niiro** · 2012-08-28 11:32

Will someone with a relic go out and test the stat caps gdi.

If numerous people have the time to make all 7 they can spend an afternoon with a parser and a notepad.

**Raldo** · 2012-08-28 11:40

People with relics already know they can do all the content will high efficiency. Entire system is getting nuked in a month or so.

I'm sure everyone's response to your request is close to this

**Grey Jorildyn** · 2012-08-28 11:40

Would that I had that kind of time.

**Gidonidon** · 2012-08-28 17:39
