Note to whomever wants to go for generic melee linos, on the snow slot keep in mind that there are 3 different categories
+Acc (caps at 20)
+Att (caps at 20)
+Att/Acc (caps at 15)
The combined one is extremely rare in general, not just the capped version.
I've seen it less than 5 times over several thousands of snowstones (mostly +2s, but some +1 stacks as well)

Unless you're including Gleti's Knife in the Offhand or multiple Chironic (Dark Matter) Waltz Potency pieces, I couldn't hit 50% without one. Also, Linos has an attribute slot as well, so you can add CHR to it also for a little higher potency. I made the below set when I got a Waltz Potency +10% Chironic Doublet augment from DM campaign. Figured since I almost never sub NIN anymore, I may as well have a set to backup support heals/erases/steps. ItemSet 398072 Unless I'm missing something, BRD can only hit 43% without Linos using 4/5 Telchine 5% potency pieces, unless you use Gleti's Knife like I mentioned. How's prime dagger for bard? People sticking to carn and naegling?

It's also nice for soloing, since you can 3-step with all good WS instead of mixing in trash like evisceration. Definitely not essential for brd, but can see some use.

To be fair, I had assumed you could +11 Fern stone the Chironic set, but I didnt realize it was exclusive to Herc gear. My mistake... But yeah Just dark matter dummy :) Asura.Sechs said: » Note to whomever wants to go for generic melee linos, on the snow slot keep in mind that there are 3 different categories +Acc (caps at 20) +Att (caps at 20) +Att/Acc (caps at 15) The combined one is extremely rare in general, not just the capped version. I've seen it less than 5 times over several thousands of snowstones (mostly +2s, but some +1 stacks as well) In 75 +2's i've gotten a 12/12, a 13/13, and a 15/15 on the attk/acc, but have yet to get any individual acc or atk over 15 :( I've seen at least 3 +20, two were acc and one was att.
I've seen aplenty of stuff between <20 and >15 on single acc or att though. Consider that I'm talking about literally thousands of stones, it's not an exxageration, I think it should be around 2300ish stones but it's realistically even higher, 2304 is where I lost track. im doing a stack now, got like 25 left, and got a 15/15 acc/atk combined lol, 3 total combined still no acc or atk over 15

After 99 stones final count for me. 11acc/11atk - 1 12acc/12atk - 1 13acc/13atk - 1 15acc/15atk - 1 15 acc - 7 17 acc - 1 15 atk - 6 either i have good or ***luck, idk which lmao ended up just doing 15/15 on my tp one and 13/13 on my wsd one I'd keep the 15 combined!
I kinda regret not settling for the acc+20 aug when I got it not once but twice, but oh well, can't change the past. Yep, got it on my tp one so keeping it, figure 15 atk worth not bothering trying for another 5 acc

There are a lot of very frustrating aspects of keeping Haste Samba up on /DNC, none of which show up in a sim. so based off this your saying Nayme legs/feet prase better than volte legs/feet? This question is a bit misleading. Nyame Legs/Feet won't cap attack speed unless you're using a haste belt (or instrument, or ring) so...it depends on a lot of factors. If you don't have a haste Linos or the TVR haste ring, in order to wear Nyame legs you have to be wearing a haste belt. If you're wearing a haste belt and dual-wielding, then you want to put DW in earrings or back piece. At the end of the day, the differences between these sets are pretty minimal. Make sure you have capped equipment haste, make sure you have enough DW for your subjob, and then pick DA/STP to your liking. I personally prefer STP because it doesn't experience diminishing returns, handles AM3 well, etc. If you want to stack a bunch of DA instead that's fine too, it's within a couple % either way. Just wondering if this is a decent DD BRD set to jump off from. I know I asked a while back, and have since acquired some more gear for it.
ItemSet 399289 Current weapons are Naegling/TP Dagger, and a Tauret as my dagger option atm. The BRD's charm isn't ranked up quite much, so I was thinking of swapping in Null Loop in the meantime. I also have a DW ambu cape as an option if I want to swap out an earring. It's fine, checks the haste and DW needs and can be improved later, but completely fine.
Set is ~2% under the DW cap. Which is probably fine, but I wanted to make sure you're aware of it.
You could "solve" the issue by: 1) Using a DW belt 2) Using a DW+10 Ambu cape For option 1 the ideal is Reiki Yotai but that's not exactely easy to solo farm, which brings us back to Shetal Stone, that you can easily farm on your own, or NQ gerdr belt. Each of these options means you won't be able to cap haste with the Waist slot, meaning you will need different options. For instance Null Masque or Ayanmo+2 legs. If you go for option 2, that frees up the 2 earring slots of course. Nyame feet are an interesting feet option alternative (but only R20+ probably) and likewise Bunzi Head (again, probably just R20+). DW belt runs you into haste issues, can compensate through putting haste on the linos but thats a dip in i think DA or QA, forget what slot haste is on. While putting it on the cape means you lose out on the 7 STP/DA plus 50 acc/macc/meva/eva, i think its a bit of wash no matter how you cut it, ideally you're using samba anyway and the problem solves itself since you only need +9 there
That set is capped DW with /DNC and haste samba. If for some reason you're subbing ninja, 2 under is not critical but you could make a dw cape, but then you lose Null. Pretty sure this comes up literally every few months, and Simon did the math on it a page or two ago. Sun Dancer and pop samba and you don't have to make any weird accessory adjustments
Edit: Maletaru mentions other alternatives I'm his post above (haste linos or lehko's ring). It's not only the waist, earrings, or back slots

So, they just gave us free Bonanza weapons. Obviously blah blah Miracle Cheer, but what I actually wanted to ask was, does Chocobo Knife giving 10% gear haste on a relatively-reasonable-stats offhand do anything for TP sets (in non-TP bonus offhand situations)?
 Chocobo Knife does feel like the spooniest choice, though.
[+]
It's a terrible offhand, you're giving up a weapon with good stats in the offhand to get haste. Even if I had it for free, I'd never wear it in the offhand for BRD (or maybe any job, idk)
I get that they wanted it to be thematic or w/e, but F tier easy
it doesn't even have "on hit, 25% chance to give Flee" - like, they gave it the move speed but come on, it was right there

Even if I had it for free, I'd never wear it in the offhand for BRD (or maybe any job, idk) The movement speed makes it good for pulling if you don't have a Shneddick. Since you have speed on an offhand that's already bis for evasion you can wear something a lot better than Carmine on the legs. Carmine to empy +3 gains 61 evasion and if not already capped, 13 dt.

Thats nice and all but BRD can't wear carmine anyway.

Welp, my bad. I mean if you really wanna squeeze 6 more evasion out of the feet slot and get like what, 13 more than ternion I guess it still applies? Assuming bard can use ternion while still not being bothered to check.
does everyone have boots / legs in their speed idle set? Is there any scenario chocobo knife could reign supreme?
