Admitting your brd is terribly equipped... probably not the best place for that. XD
Not to turn this into a brd thread so not going to derail after this, but since you asked:
Honestly for meriting I usually ghetto-gear my brd, I usually don't even drag AF out of storage because I'm cheap and have low inv space, so like instead of AF I'll wear seiryu kote (they don't really help me evade but the hp is nice lol) and haidate for recast or zenith for the chr, meh. Since I sub whm and cure myself a lot rather than casting stoneskin every 5 seconds, the mp is nice on zenith.
Mary's horn, nereid ring/balrahn's ring, opo crown + pamamas (usually), yigit unless I actually brought my gaudy harness, may start using minstrel's coat instead though, HQ jester's/corsette blah blah blah. My brd macros need a lot of work honestly, so it's not surprising I don't land on them very well. About 50-60% I'd say... unless I properly gear, then I have a lot less trouble ^^ I don't really want to merit any brd magic skills, I already have so many other mage jobs that need magic merits. I don't have bad luck sticking lullaby unlike others I know, it's just out of laziness gear-wise honestly.
I probably shouldn't be admitting that here either XD
