All in all beside this geo neck this is a disappointment for me. I hope the Japanese are telling SE about themselves.

BLU's DD and survivability is laughable compared to RUN. I also feel WAR, SAM, and DRK could out DPS BLU while wearing large amounts of DT.
I would say SAM maybe because of Kenda, but WAR/DRK utilize Argosy and/or Ratri which isn't any fun to get in and swaping into some sort of DT set is likely going to screw up xhit builds. While i'd much rather play heavy DD myself, BLU is more than competent if geared properly.

Most of the gear BLU's getting are for requiescat (garbage) or savage blade/expiacion (great weaponskills, but it's only good above 2k TP, so it's not spammable. And Expiacion is only for Tizona BLUs, otherwise savage blade is better). BLU's been getting nothing since the end of rhapsodies, while other jobs been getting handed all kinds of ***.
Savage blade is very spammable if you main sequence. While alot of players know this already, it seems to lack the notoriety that it should at this point.
(Sorry in advance for reposting on my own response)
It's also very good for those high buff high-man situations, and allows you to take off Sinker Drill and set WoP for helping with erases. Sure, it's not the greatest thing since sliced bread, but that sort of thing has it's uses.

Except WAR, THF, DRK, SAM, and RUN CAN destroy BLU when over buffed.
War drk sam also destory drg, PUP, COR, NIN, RDM, MNK, PUP and so on. Its not like we bring those jobs to zerg either. Someone has to be on top....
Blu is just fine as it is. Its far more balanced atm than 2 years ago imo.

The amount of work you'll have to put in for that neck, you may as well just make Idris.
You already know not idris = not idris.

10 more MACC and same amount of Macc skill than an AG Carn. I think that's the best Bard weapon for Elegy/Finale/Nocturne/Lullaby
i mean, if it's less than 6 months work, it's still a good filler until idris.

6 months of "please drop today" and "please let me win the lot"
That's only 48 chances.
Then Upgrading it via whatever convoluted system they have

I think the separation between the survivability and the party comment was to suggest that BLU has a higher DPS/DT ceiling in solo content. At least I'm going to assume that's what he meant.
Correct. And i still love having 1 competent BLU in a DD pt if zerging. Honor+MG+Haste and good. Eliminates the need for indi/geo-haste or another march which allows for an extra minuet/carol/wilt/etc.
Wait, which tome do the new synths require? I read it was the final escutcheon tome, but now it's just the Stage-3 tome?

Even that's assuming there isn't some other unforseen time lock-out barrier that makes it even less feasible

What are you talking about

that's exactly my point
if you get it within the 6mo window, you got something to tide you over 'til then
if you don't, you still keep working on idris regardless
and it's bis for macc, too? so i guess you'd want it anyway

Just create more characters, run your own alliance for dynamis and get all the loot and make all things!
Wait, so the Drg neck boosts Wyvern level by 1? Why? The Wyvern does borderline nothing for Drg except for the occasional Healing Breaths, Sprit Link TP steals, or buffing the players through Empathy. Unless this level improvement helps one of these categories or makes the wyvern suddenly do a fortune of damage, then it is a borderline worthless neck.

Song duration is still a thing for 3/4 of those, especially Lullaby.

It potentially increases the Wyvern's max HP, so it helps as a Healing Breath / Stoneskin macro piece

It would technically make the Wyvern do more damage, have more hp to effect breaths and be more survivable by whatever means 1 level would give.

true. although I haven't had very many issues with resists on any of those songs with just a 119-I Carn.
Definitely not worth it if it's something that requires a bunch of progression.

Yes, but the recipes page says

This month's recipes use the existing "Argentum Tome" Key Item obtained when completing the level 3 Escutcheon shields.

Oh hey servers still down. Incoming maintenance extensions
between this and PUBG being down for maintenance as well, I had to resort to dusting off the old Xbox One to entertain me the last few hours.
Quote:
Equipment requiring the Superior 4 and Superior 5 gifts have been added.
These new pieces of equipment may be traded on the Auction House and require the appropriate Aurum Tomes to synthesize.
