Ok, I just hit 70 BRD last night, which means I can now bid for BRD AF2 in my Dynamis ls. I'm ridiculously far out of the race for the only piece I actually want(RDM hat, been 4/5 forever ) so I figured I could spend some points on BRD. We're doing Glacier tonight and I was thinking about going for BRD, but I've been wondering: Exactly wtf do Military Parade and Courtly Measure do? I don't have access to allak/wiki at work, only MysteryTour and they don't have that info, could someone please let me know on here?

Re: Military Parade/Courtly Measure
Also, according to the wiki, if you have the Cannions +1 (for Courtly Measure), the physical stats -8 don't appear anymore... if I'm reading this right, anyway.Kindadarii (Bahamut)

Also, I see more bards using Courtly Measure leggings over AF+1 Limbus leggings. IMO Skill>CHR&MP. Actually, in almost every bard forum I read they all agree Skill>CHR&MP. So my question is, why don't more (hardcore bard, not exp pt princess bards) going after these? Only maybe 50% of the badly equipped bards I see it may be a question of Sea access, but what about the others? I hate to ask it, but are they... stupid? The ppl I see around think they are good bards. Pulling 150+ chains does not make you a good bard. But knowing what to sing, when to sing it, and what to wear at the right time does.
As for the legs, 8CHR & 48MP is a 1 time only combination of stats. It is a very nice alternative to Errant Leggings. But a bard can fill up enough CHR in almost any slot available to them. IMO an MP piece should not be a major decision when choosing armor unless you have more than enough Chr/Skill in the other slots.... which usually is not the case when i examine them.

Re: Military Parade/Courtly Measure
As a non-bard, I'm under the impression that the C rank is misleading, since they have 2 skills checking for each action (singing + X instrument). But I'm a friggin' Warrior. >.>;"And if he left off dreaming about you, where do you suppose you'd be?"

The effectiveness of bard songs is a combination of your singing skill -and- the instrument skill that applies to whatever instrument you're using at that moment. CHR is your modifier for landing a song on a mob.Host of irc.gamesurge.net #FF14 - TheAfterLife XI & XIV LS
