Yeah, BRD BiS is very myth-heavy due to how their accuracy gear works from what I understand. I think all you want is the boots and the visor or something, and the rest all Hero's.

Probably making your own T4 pug would be best. Set the item level floor to your own item level.

T4 isn't very difficult, really. If you go with 2 tanks that know the fight well, it should be pretty easy.

Also, T4 is at most 6 minutes long (soft enrage mechanic), so it's very quick to learn the fight (unlike, say, Twintania, because Twintania is 12 minutes long).

I think some extra allagan might become BiS if you use the Elfin Bow. And the allagan bow may change this, if it doesn't have accuracy on it; not sure.

afaik allagan bow does have acc
elfin doesn't

eh I'll probs get more gear this week and give t4 another shot with pugs

iirc the BiS list I looked at was 2.0 that wasn't updated for 2.1, primal ex drops might change things as well

I'm on Coeurl. So no. :<

How do I go about telling my FC that I would like to use my BC locks on actual kills instead of trying to help them do it and never actually getting it
and finding a BC static

i had the same thing but worse; i volunteered to be our raid leader and was tasked with eventually getting a consistent Coil group up and running

unfortunately, it was pretty goddamn obvious that we were either never going to get to coil or were going to get to coil
months
down the line; i had also made friends with someone back on my original home server (ultros) who had offered me a spot with their FC

$18 later for a server transfer and i definitely made the right decision (last night was supposed to be my first night with my static group at my new FC but some administrative dumbassery happened) - if they are your friends, they will understand that you are doing what is best for yourself; if not, i would reconsider whether or not they are really such nice people if they aren't wishing their comrades the best, even if that means they are no longer their comrades

tl;dr this is a game, do what you think will give you the most enjoyment - if you think you'll miss these guys too much and won't make new friends wherever you go, then stay, if not, then leave

You should be able to do T4 in mostly DL...if you're having problems, it's probably that the DPS need to learn their rotations.

And yeah, I was briefly in a group where I was expected to not pug coil and wait until Thursday, whereupon I may have to sit out. Leaving for a real static was the best decision ever.

You should just transfer to join a static, only to not get a spot in a static and spend all of your time running in circles in wineport.

Its the height of entertainment in this game.

I'm sure there are plenty of statics that can use you. Party Finder "fill-ins" often become static invitations if you show up and aren't too awful, for example. I sometimes get random /tells about joining statics.

Maybe try shouting in MD?

You should also maybe try to level up LNC a bit to get Blood For Blood and Invigorate. Very handy for BRD.

You haven't seen the WHM population on Ultros, have you? People asking for 80ilvl for fucking turn 1.

At the same time, end-game in this game is atrocious. I'm not really missing out.
