Gazu Bracelets +1 R15
They too allow for Chironic in Head/Hands/Legs/Feet, given their lack of Acc/Haste, if you have good DM augs.
Overall I'm not too impressed by these though.
They could open up for the next slot, see below

Hands!

Heavy outdated :P

You want something like this as base:

ItemSet 361583

Belt has many alternatives. Winbuffet +1 or Grunfeld Rope for example. I would say Windbuffet +1 is probably the best if you dont need accuracy. Some pimp DM Chironic augments might be better for head/hands/legs/feet. Just keep in mind Bihu has a lot of pros. High stats and att and decent acc and meva and high PDT on top of that (you are fragile, you dont want to die during WS).

Heavily outdated, ignore them.


Edit:
I'm getting the same results as Simonses for the WS set.
Some further comments:
  • CHR+30/WSD+10 on cape

  • CHR/WSD on Linos, DEX/WSD (rudra) and DA/QA (TP) are pretty close though.

  • If you want swaps for Ishvara or Regal with more Acc, there's not many options but Mache+1 usually works decently

  • Grunfeld if you don't have R15 Kentarch+1 yet. Windbuffet+1 works nice but no acc.

  • There's not much reasonable swaps for Rings if you want more acc. Can try Ilabrat, Cacoethic+1, that's it. Incredibly cheap but decent alternative for the Ring slot is the super old Airy Ring

  • In theory at capped attack Brioso+3 wins in 3/5 slots. But of course it's gonna be rare for u to be at overcap attack and you're gonna lose a *** of acc from using Brioso+3

  • Like Simon said, some Chironic with good augs could prove better but you're gonna need really really really good numbers there.

Use this. If no Volte, use Ayanmo.

Pushed a new small updated for the BRD DPS Spreadsheet.

Fixed a small amount of gear typos and, most of all, I fixed Barfawc path A and B. They had their paths swapped.

Should i gear both mordant rime and rudra for DD brd or just focus on mordant? Also for rudra is it worth it for the HQ lustratio gear or is nq ok?

Always worth going for HQ, missing the set bonus without it

Rudra scales really, really well with tp and mordant doesn't at all. So any time you overtp or are getting warcry it'll likely be the stronger option, gearing for both is a good idea.

Don't bother with the NQ lustratio, if you have Relic+3 (which you'll want for mordant anyway) they're very decent options in most slots until you can get the HQ stuff. Lustratio legs should be pretty high priority though, they're pretty far ahead of anything else.

That is true in theory, but tbh assuming you are using R15 Carn, for Rudra to beat Mordant, you need a really high TP, not just regular TP overflow. You need like 2500TP+ 2050TP to break even. This will change slightly if you are super buffed AND have epic 10% DM Chironic WSD pieces. You will break even around 2200TP 1800TP then.

EIDT: I used wrong WS sets at first. Changed values of TP.

Path : A on head/hands(For the Atk), B Legs and D Feet I think is the recommended Augments.

No one has used that dagger in probably 5 years if you're asking about the one from the delve / WKR days. Best offhand depends what you're doing. If using savage blade or rudras I'd use centovente. If using mordant you can use taming sari, ternion, even twash if you have it. There are a lot of weapon options for BRD atm it just comes down to what you're doing.

Keep in mind that for the snow slot:
1) Acc/Att (together) caps at 15
2) Acc or Att (one or the other, alone) cap at 20

Sorry to ask such a basic question, but I can't find a really definitive answer in the thread.

If I have an R0 Aeneas, R0 Carn, Tauret and R0 Twash, which is going to be my go-to? I know everything is situational, but just a "what's generally best" scenario for those daggers and what offhand?

Thank you in advance for spoonfeeding me.

I do pretty solidly main handing carn with barfawc offhand for the -12 DT with 4 spells up, but I don't have Twashtar so I can't directly compare it there.

Naegling is an interestingly powerful option to consider, as bard actually gets decent savage blade equipment.

As with everything it's situational. What works best in one situation may not work best in others, and it's also highly dependent on your build.

You need to check in my spreadsheet.
At R0 I think that your best DPS combination will be Aeneas MH and Twashtar OH.
It's just a hunch, doublecheck on my spreadsheet please, you can find it in the usual place, it's usually pretty accurate.

AeneasMH/TwashtarOH offers several pros:
1) You're gonna spam Rudra's Storm, which is a WS that benefits from OverTP, if it ever happens to you. This usually works well in reality than it shows in the spreadsheet
2) It's pretty braindead. You just engage and spam Rudra, you don't have to worry about anything else. Buffs, Context, AM3, other things to manage? Nope, just spam Rudra.


The cons if such a setup are:
1) You lose TP swapping from Aeneas to Carn and back when casting songs
2) If you have to refresh a song when engaged you need to accept either to lose your TP or to cast song without Carn's duration
3) Likewise for Debuffs/Sleeps when engaged

Ayanmo +2 and BRD Relic +3 is a good start for tp/ws in the main slots.

Right, the ayanmo is more for TP, and relic+3 for WS since it has lots of attributes, acc/atk, and wsd on the body. I mainly use it for savage blade and it works pretty well.
