dd gearFollow

looking for a decent dd gear setup for brd thanks in advance

This is some of the stuff I currently use and/or have my eye on.

Weapons
Main: Thunder Kila
Sub: Blau/Thunder Kila(x2)/Multi Attack Magian Dagger. Considering higher dagger skill (and merits if they arent taken by something else) and top tier/multi attack Magian weapons, imo Joy Toy is no longer a top contender. But still decent if you don't have any of these.

TP
Instrument: Angel Lyre (Haste +2%)
Head: Turban
Neck: PCC/Love Torque/Ancient Torque
Ears: Brutal/Suppa (You really should be DW if DDing on BRD now. /DNC or /NIN.)
Body: Avalon Breatplate/SH(+1)/Goliard Saio(haste set)/Paluwahn
Hands: Dusk(+1)/Goliard Cuffs
Rings: Rajas/Acc Rings
Back: Amemet +1/Cuchulain's/Foragers/Relic Cape
Waist: Haste belt
Legs: Byakko's
Feet: Dusk(+1)

This setup can put you near the haste cap at 25% gear haste (I think I remember reading some testing to the effect that it actually takes 26% haste to truly CAP...I could be remembering wrong) without Dusk HQ's and only 4% swift belt.

Evisceration
Instrument: Oliphant (Acc+3 Attack +3)
Head: Heca/Moogle Expansion WS hat
Neck: Love Torque/Ancient Torque/Sea Gorget
Ears: Hollow/Brutal/Pixie/Delta/Attack Earrings
Body: Heca/Kirin's Osode/Relic Body <==(my favorite)
Hands: Heca/Tarasque Mitts +1
Rings: Rajas/Dex Rings
Back: Amemet +1/Cuchulain's/Forager's/Charger Mantle
Waist: Warwolf/Cuchulain's Belt
Legs: Heca/Oily Trousers/Byakko's/Tumbler Trunks
Feet: Heca/Lithe Boots

I don't have any experience yet with Mordant Rime. Wiki quotes it as having a 30% DEX mod and 50% CHR mod, but is only a two fold attack. It should be possible to boost it with similar gear sets with some hybrid DEX+CHR gear (Tumbler trunks and Delta Earring for example). Someone with more experience with this WS would have to comment on gear swaps for it.

BRD can certainly put together some very respectable DD builds. Especially now with top tier weapons from Magian Trials.
