Bard AF2 Special Effects?

[tnt118]

Stolen straight from mysterytour, here are the stats on Bard AF2. Note that there are a couple of "special effects" listed that the last time I looked at mysterytour, were simply labeled ???.

-----------------------------------------
â—?â—?Bard's Roundlet 72 19 HP+13 CHR+5 Singing skill+5 Enmity-3
Dynamis - San d'Oria

â—?â—?Bard's Jstcorps 74 45 HP+19 Attack+18 "Military Parade"
Dynamis - Beaucedine

â—?â—?Bard's Cuffs 73 18 HP+16 Dodge+5 Enmity-3 Wind Instrument skill+3
Dynamis - Bastok

â—?â—?Bard Cannions 75 31 HP+17 MP+42 "Courtly Measure"
Dynamis - Xarcabard

â—?â—?Bard's Slippers 71 14 HP+12 Parrying skill+3 Enmity-2 Stringed Instrument skill+3
Dynamis - Jeuno
-----------------------------------------

Oddly enough, some of these don't look half bad.. but I'm very curous what the "Military Parade" and "Courtly Measure" effects are. Does any have any info?

The hat has +CHR, so that could be worthwhile to wear. The cuffs are wind skill+, so isn't that a no-brainer? What Military Parade and Courtly Measure are will determine the usefulness of the Body and Legs. Only ones that aren't so hot imho are the Slippers.

someone who speaks JP told me that one is longer range and the other is longer duration.

longer range would be cool for debuffs and some HNM battles, but for XP, longer range would be a hassle.

longer duration would be sort of cool but i usually don't have too much trouble keeping all songs up.

personally i would rather keep errant stuff on for the +17 CHR

Longer Duration would be cool on Virelai =D

Wow, that's really cool =) Does this drain MP like the Rune weapons? I doubt it, but would like to know anyway.

We're lucky in that by wearing our full "purple & lavender horror" AF2 set we screw ourselves over! Not many jobs can say that about their AF! :3

Also good to see +hp, +evasion, and +attack on the AF2 set, since, as a damage-dealing and tanking class, we need all the help we can get....

[Layoneil]

hmm, i heard somewhere else that Courtly kicks in when not engaged.

which would make more sense and would work amazingly well but than SE is not into making sense and having things work well for us.

further confirmation is needed.

If that's true then our AFII is a bunch of crap.

*counts change in piggy-bank and realizes he only needs another 5 million gil to buy the rest of the Zenith Abjuration Set*

If the pants special power only kick in when youre not engaged in a fight, its very good. +8 STR and +8 DEX is pretty good when your fighting and +8 CHR is nice when youre not fighting or doing crowd control in Dynamis =)

[Xccoortri]

Yeah if it really did swap like that it would be an awesome set to have. I don't think they'd make the af2 crappy like that anyways, so I'm more ready to believe that they do activate during those specific moments.

[Siven]

So hrm...I should pass up these AFs and lot on 100-currency for upgrades then (according to our rule).

They also look just as crappy as AF1. Even the +8 CHR is only 1 more than the errant clown pants.
