DL is a huge upgrade over AK armor - not the jewelry but that's because spell/skill speed sucks.

Ok, so I've been told twice that I'm undergeared to do AK as a bard (http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...acter/1572782/)
I've got the lvl45/50 bard gear, the pre-cursor relic bow, and "decent" (ilvl47) hq jewelery thanks to rexie. Is there something I'm missing? Should I just be grinding out CM and wanderer's palace for gear and buy darklight that way?
edit: ah, was spam leveling alchemy last night before I dozed off. I'll swap over to my gear set once I get home.

There's no such thing as being under-geared for AK unless you just plain didn't do your level 45 armor quest. Whoever told you that shit is an idiot.

Except in the case of the items I have left to upgrade, they're not. I'm a bard, and I've got pants, earring, and neck to upgrade still. The stuff I've got on all has +crit/dex whereas the DL pieces are pretty shit. Really the only thing they offer is a tiny bit more vitality (and I think that may only be on the pants). So like I said, I'm not nearly as excited to log on as I had been.
Really, once I got my +1 I basically felt like I'd finished that character. I got paladin unlocked last night, but I'm really just having a hard time finding motivation to log in and do anything.

Was a tank, he said the second boss is a dps check (after we killed the first boss), then we cleared to a chest and he left. I said "fuck it" and went to ride bikes.

There's an advantage to being overgeared when doing AK where you don't have to deal with as much on the bosses. You can kill the bosses with less add spawns, repels, and catastrophes. But most 'geared' pugs can't do the entire fight without screwing up so to mitigate their own failure they need other overgeared players to "help them along"
What song do other Bards run though dungeons with, I just keep Foe Requim on for the most part, except if I know the boss fight is long and will keep a eye on healers mana but, not had any situation yet where healers are in desperate need of mages Ballard
If you have Black Mages/Summoners in your party then Foe's Requiem is worth keeping up, otherwise there's not really anything else to use in Dungeons. Note that it only affects Black Mage, Summoner, and White Mage damage. It does not have an effect on *any* Bard ability, even the Fire Circle one, as they areallactually Physical damage (specifically Piercing).

I think it's really a lot of people want to farm their tomes fast, and it's not fast if people are undergeared. Issue mostly is the tomes coming from a shitty lvl 50 4man dungeon buy you the best gear in the game(or well on par with allagan), so even people with relic +1 still farm it.
That said yeah idiots still will be an issue of their own. It's hilarious that people tell other people they're undergeared for AK, when most of the people with a clue actually started farming AK right after hitting 50. No one really did a lot of wanderer I don't think, other than for getting your relic item, and you can do AK easily in quest gear. AK is 100% skill check 0% gear check, and the skill check isn't even that high. Wall is definitely NOT a DPS check, it's a "can you stand out of the fire" check. It takes so fucking long for the wall to finish moving and it has such low health anyway. Only reason people fail isn't lack of DPS, it's lack of people being alive.
Can't do much about that in duty finder dungeons though.
Elemental Damage song doesn't reduce your DPS in any way, so if there's a Magic user int he party there's 0 reason not to throw it up. It's a pretty huge boost to party DPS, especially when you run Battle Voice with it.
Well, Wall is a DPS check in that if you really truly fuck up you will auto-die to it at a certain point.
Thankfully people who are already geared from AK only have to run it 3-4x a week if they're clearing 1-4 in coil since that gives 150 Myth right there. When I only have to run it that many times a week I really don't care who I'm doing it with, especially with the speed run nerf.
