Bard Detail

[Spider-Dan]

The excuse for the lack of lodestone link is that he's a coward that likes to throw stones at others' gear from the shadows. Luckily I ferreted him out earlier.

needs more ACC melds

[AntB]

You're ~30 over the cap after food... and that's with AF2 pants. Before that you were ~47 over cap. Sounds pretty absurd to me.

Still waiting for you to explain what content you supposedly needed all those ACC melds for. AK? Titan?

And you can't say "dude the cap is just speculation" at the same time you are saying "lol 448 accuracy." That is, unless you're an idiot.

I think you are just either plain fucking stupid or ignorant as fuck. I already said I thought I read the needed cap was for TURN 4(I'll bold that bitch for you in case you miss it again) and I over shot thinking about turn 5. Yeah it's speculated to be 480 so obviously if you don't have close/over that then you should not be hitting 100%(I don't know to what extent the people tested it tbh, could care less either as long as I don't miss). I eat my food for crit and HP because it's the highest available(minus the other apkallu stuff, but fuck clusters per synth). I sound like a broken record now trying to explain to you because you are ignorant as fuck or you're just trolling to look cool.

Really hope for your own sake you're not over 16 years old.

I got the bow +1 quite a while ago already, when we didn't have so much figured out. Thats sometimes what you get for not getting everything 6 months after everybody. Then again, with 8 i90 pieces to this day, i don't feel too bad about it.

Got the feet last night, made me lose quite a bunch of accuracy and i'm not sure how i'm gonna deal with that yet IF it turns out to be a problem. Note that until last night and with deviled eggs i had 472 acc, its my understanding we don't know what the cap exactly is, i'm reading 475 just now, either way there is no way i'm/was far from cap.

Now what's your excuse for the terrible attitude and the lack of lodestone link ?

Like 1-2 pages ago, wasn't interesting enough? Lol that's 3 weeks into the game if you spam capped from the start, was already said by then bow+1 is crap. Was already said DL legs was crap too, nice excuse tho. I just have a shitty attitude with people that think they know it all or think they know better when they generally don't(let's ban this retard I lol'd). Congrats for you tho, BRD never drops for us, like I care anyways since most of the Allagan is trash in the end anyways.

needs more ACC melds

Yeah you spent 40 minutes looking for me, like I really give a shit if you know who I am, people that see my post on forums will know who I am because of the username. I didn't have to post a link, you asked for stats and it's what I gave you. Keep throwing away that gil on food when you can't even afford melds. I paid like 100k for my melds cause I basically 1 shotted them except the final ring. Over >>>>>>>> Under, just sayin'. I'll just stick you on ignore now instead because you are just a tool who has nothing else better to bring to the discussion other than Acc melds.

One post you're "jealous as fuck", the next one you "don't care". Ok. Again, it says a lot about how much bullshits you're willing to say to land on your feet.

I see no particular reason to keep arguing with you as you're neither really knowledgeable or pleasant to deal with. Pretty sure BG is about to be done with you too ! ^.^

[Spider-Dan]

I specifically asked for a link so I could see your melds (for good reason, it turns out) and you stonewalled, likely because you don't care to receive the kind of gear criticism you're handing out. Also probably because your melds are those of a person who has no clue what an accuracy cap is (the same kind of person who would say they have "more than enough crit").

That's true, I didn't bother to spam from day 1 because I took my time to level ACN since it was my final 50. I don't need the last word at all, you just posted something worth replying too, so I did(I'll stop replying to you if you like so you can be all cool like and have the last word if you want). I'm jealous of the feet because I want them(you do have more than 1 allagan you know), that's all. Please tell me where I said I was wrong, I'd love to see it please. Oh no I'ma be banned on BG, better call the wambulance right? You have ilvl 80 gear(470 crit ugh) and I basically out do you in most stats and I'm still sporting 4 accs under ilvl 55, I'll fillout nicely once I upgrade.

You seem to forget, I upgrade 1 ring this week = bye 10 acc leaves me at 491. I upgrade belt next week = byebye 9 acc which leaves me at 482 and I don't even need to use food to keep myself over the recommended accuracy. Hell I don't even use food 100% of the time and I still out DPS 90% of people that come into party with me, must be doing something right because not everyone can be that bad huh. Wonder how many of you use that lol bard macro from the forums tbh.

[shepardG]

I will out parse you, any day of the week Antb. Your attitude is garbage and people don't like that, you appear to only respond to big dickery, so I say again.
I'm a better player.
My bard is better geared than yours is
And wearing a pumpkin head Halloween item in my head slot I will literarily wipe my ass with your ballad mule.
Shut up. No one likes you and your breath smells.

Ouch, I'm hurt. I only respond like a dick to people that are well... Dicks? I don't come on a gaming forum for people to like me, I don't really care about internet reputation tbh unlike 90% of you guys.

[shepardG]

Mission accomplished.

[AntB]

Mission accomplished.

Yeah cause you got Allagan body and head over me makes you better than me? Nice +1 bow, nice buy on the DL legs, nice buy on the DL hands, nice melds on the Gryph body, nice ERRTHING. Not even worth my time to continue on with, I mean common you're in the same FC as Damien who equally doesn't have a clue how to gear his BRD.

Lets stop shitting up this thread, post again if you want for last word but It would be nice to see some more actual bard detail if I was completely honest.

[Day]

We had a pretty good, interesting thread going. Any chance you can ban the retard and delete his work to keep this readable please?

Which one? Several insufferable cunts in here.

[chichicha]

Please stop, get back to Bard detail !

[Kelenae]

Ya right now its all e-peen atm. I think the title should be who has the better bard.

[ejact]

Can't we technically just break off the last 4 pages and turn it into the bard dick waving contest.

[The Blackrose]

You know it's a sad day when I pick the side Spider-Dan is on over you, because you just reach astounding levels of braggart dickery.

EDIT: Now that I've read through everything...

1. Next asshole to report more than one item in this thread is getting smote. I will not ask questions before doing so. Mods can read (and should be reading through) threads.
2. These threads will trend towards dickwaving contests. It is inevitable - nobody is going to be low level forever. Want to survive said contests? Try not being terrible first, both in regards to game and being social with other people on the forums.

Recommence with Bard discussion.

[Brill Weave]

And like a moth too close to the flame, his bright light has been extinguished. Good night sweet prince.

Not sure what your i90's are but we seem to be in the same boat regarding numbers (as well as the dumb bow +1 purchase >.<; ) I ran coil yesterday with 470 (NQ Deviled Eggs) and was 100% for all 4 turns. As this was only one time running with acc that low I am not sure if it was a fluke, but there you go. I am a little worried for when I get Bard Tights pants next week and lose 17 acc to drop to 453. Probably have to go to acc food :/

Could we discuss rotations?

Is it better to pop 2 buffs inbetween GCD or not? A friend of mine claims there is a small staggering effect that slows you down overall.

My current rotation is something like...

1) Toss fire circle
2) Straight shot
3) Hawk's eye + Raging Strike
4) Bloodletter + Heavy Shot
5) Blood for Blood + Internal Release
6) Windbite
7) Venomous Bite
7) Quelling Strikes + Barrage
9) Repop buffs as they become available > Spam Misery's End > Bloodletter > Recast debuffs and straight shot when needed > Heavy Shot

Bold: Actions that use GCD.

[Deadgye]

I usually only pop one action in between each global cool down, unless it's buff+bloodletter.

I usually hold off using Flaming Arrow till most of my buffs are up but I follow the same rotation. I'd honestly put Quelling Strikes at the forefront of your rotation as you're liable to pull threat right from the get-go with all of those buffs.

[Raldo]

I'd echo the above statement, but add...

I tend to throw the initial Bloodletter in between Windbite and Venemous Bite. There are a few reasons for this...
1) Your initial Bloodletter is fully buffed at that point (more damage)
2) I don't think the initial hit of Windbite + Venomous can proc the River of Blood trait (someone please correct me if I'm wrong so I can change my own behavior), so you're not missing out on any of those chances.
3) Compared to your rotation, you're stuffing 3 actions in between Straight + Heavy (2 buffs and a Bloodletter), which probably pushes you reeeally close to the GCD, whereas there's nothing but free time between your DoTs.

That said, the difference is going to be a drop in the bucket.

Edit: Even if I'm wrong about my list's #2, you should probably still move your Bloodletter to between #5 and #6. That way you gain the damage boost from B4B+IR, while still making sure it goes off before you fire your DoTs. (Again, still just a drop in the bucket)
