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.
