Which Weapon Should I Get I'm Too Stupid To Pick!

Idk, if you're in a 6 boss run then you're looking at the difference between:

MC only: victory march, madrigal, 2 minuets
Vs
Full REMA (excluding lough): honor march, madrigal, 3 minuets

So, a difference of 58 acc & 429 attack, per member of the team, which is further multiplied by chaos and/or fury. Double all of those if you're under the effects of soul voice.

Assuming +8 lucky, non-crooked chaos, that's another 50%, with a non-bolster, non-idris indi-fury you're at another 50%, so...you're losing a thousand attack on 5 party members. Again, double that if you have SV.

Not a big sacrifice.

I'm not saying you can't, or shouldn't, play BRD before you get marsyas and/or daurdabla, but i think it's good to be realistic about what the differences are. Each of them makes a massive difference, especially in party play when you're buffing a whole group of people.

You're not doing any sortie, 6 boss or no, as a 3 song brd, get real.

How Asura of you.

It was suggested on the previous page that the commenter could do 6 boss sortie if he slapped together a BRD with MC. I'm not saying that he could find a PUG to accept him, but I can guarantee that with a supportive, competent, decently-geared party, a BRD with only MC could do 6 boss Sortie. Probably even 8, so long as the other players are solid and the plan is good.

That said, going from "i just have a MC" to full REMA makes a big difference, which was my original point.

Side note but even if you don't need the REMA, you still "need" a moonbow whistle+1 which is no joke price-wise, and should probably pick up some kind dynamis neck...and a bunch of other stuff that isn't a REMA. It's not for the faint of heart (wallet).

Anyway...tangents aside, we really need to shift the narrative from "nobody will ever love you unless you have Idris, epeo, 5 REMAs, and R20 ody gear" to "it's fine, just approach the content at your level and gradually progress through it".

Ody, sortie, limbus, dynamis, ambu, etc. Are all purpose-built to allow people to select the challenge level they're geared and experienced enough for. IMO people should be jumping straight into all that ***. Solo, with 1 friend, with linkshell mates, with PUGs, whatever. Get going.

1,000,000% this.
It's wild how picky people are these days about groups, especially when, if you remove the multiboxers and bots, most servers likely don't even hit 100 real individual players.
I don't remember people, in my 21 years of experience, ever being this picky even back when the population was a lot bigger. The majority of linkshells and pugs I was in (75 cap, aby, adoulin, RoV) just took whatever they could get and made it work.
I recently came back to the game after taking a break when Sortie came out and it's baffling to me that I've seen people want r20 ody, m40+ and other ***... for stuff my old linkshell and I completed fine pre-mlvls.

I get it, they want to do it the most efficient way possible. But if 80% of the server is in the same linkshell, you don't really have options to be picky with and I would honestly rather go into content with a non-meta setup and just make some progress. Because any progress is better than no progress.

Yeah, ok. No group is going to be okay with missing a song. Is it okay to grab MC and get 15min songs while working on daurdabla? Of course, and your group will wait and do 6 boss or w/e while everyone gears up.

Eventually you will need that 4th song because it's a massive boost that cannot be compensated.

If you don't care about progressing why do you need to do sortie. If you want to do sortie and progress, you need certain things. Like 4 songs if you want to play brd.

Would you take a dd with no remas nor a damn naegling to do melee sortie? *** no you wouldn't. Stop pretending.

Has nothing to do with Pugs or servers. You want to do certain content, you need to be prepared and progress to it.
