How did you bang a + 172 atk bonus? Did ya use Minuet III & II? Because III alone gives a 96 atk bonus when I use it, and I believe a 78 atk bonus with II at Lv. 60 with capped instrument skills.

But anyways, I love BRD 2 hour.

Like any other 2-hour you have to know when to use it

BRD 2-hour doesn't really have a specfic time it needs to be used. It's sorta similar to PLD 2-hour if ya think about it. It has predominately two uses.

1. Party is in trouble, and needs some serious buffs.
2. Long battle, and things need to pick up.

That's gotta be what, 200 bonus atleast?

I think it caps Haste. Atleast I've noticed a 25% dmg bonus. Usually dealing 4,000-5,000dmg...give me soul voiced dual march and I hit 6,000-7k dmg.

Wish Bards could increase max HP ; ;

!!!!!!!! SE SHOULD DO THAT! XD

But, on a normal basis.

Haste + March I + March II = 36% bonus. I've heard there is a 50% haste cap, but dunno how true this is. I've also read that Soul Voice + Haste + March I + March II = 43%.

 

[Vilurum]

At 75 with high skill (dunno if it's lower at lower level/skill):

Advancing March: 6%
Victory March: 8%
Use Faerie Piccolo like you're supposed to: +3% (so 9% and 11% respectively)
Haste spell: 15% (this one is flat rate, regardless of level and enhancing skill, I know that much)

So, stacked March + Haste = 35%. Stacked soul voiced March + Haste = 55%, but (at least as far as recasts go, not sure about attack delay) you're capped at 50%.

 

[Necrosis]

I'm fairly certain the marches are 8% and 12%, respectively, combining to 20%.

 

[Torqameda]

Well, no matter. 50% bonus is massive.

 

[Vilurum]

I just tested them the other day using a 60-sec recast (that's a 1% margin of error) and with and without a 1% haste item (which knocks that down to 0% margin of error). They're 9% and 11%.

6% and 8% if your bard is too cheap/lazy to use a Faerie Piccolo. Though considering that 3% difference is a 50% and 37.5% boost respectively, it's definitely an instrument worth investing in.

You're right that they add up to 20% though.

 

[Kire]

Cap is 50% haste unlesss a mnk 2hr is on what takes it to a 90%haste

 

[crookedmidget]

I like the BRD 2 hour, although even @ 75, I'm still learning the best way to use it. I've been fond of using it in the Bugbear ENM since I usually do it without a WHM. Since it's not a good reactive 2HR, using it smartly is important...

 

[Kire]

last 3mins so u could do it right and make a song last 2:59 then 3mins and get almost 6mins out of this 2hr whats a great time

 

[exodusamphi]

Read-Onry -> Kire/Blazn/nobodylikesyou PLEASE?!

 

[Knightblade]

I think monk can get up to +34% haste? add march I and II and hundred fists with some K clubs, and you get this:

get a nin with DW4 a af body supper thing from DM and does not af2 legs give DW 3%? if so u can hit over 80% in speed and a mnks 2hr is 90%

 

[Torqameda]

Cap is 50%. And I've seen people get that fast before. Most of the time, you can't see them attack because the motions are too fast for the computer to process.

Piccolo is one of several instruments you could use to boost up March. Kindom Horn, and a few others, give March bonuses. "March + 1" I believe. What is that? Like, a 1% bonus?
