Crit vs. Det Warrior

When I switch to gear with more det for warrior I feel no difference. When I get more crit I see bigger numbers and I like big numbers.

pretty sure its right job~

Warriors already get bonus Crit from Wrath.

Det makes that bonus Crit more valuable, by making it hit for more.

It's also just the strongest dps secondary among all melee classes as well as ranged.

Most tell me Det... but I would think that a Defiance Stanced Warrior would benefit more from Crit, since Wrath stacks add critical hits already at a flat percent, wouldnt you simply be further increasing an innate stat.

Or... would Det be the greater gains,simply because there's considerably less points attributed to it?


Here's where I am currently -

Critical Hit Rate 397
Determination 216

(A note. My current build has been primarily stacking Parry over all other secondary stats)
I'm also not entirely certain how damage stats work compared to FFXI.

I remember in FFXI Damage was something like... Attack increase the Damage Ceiling while Strength increased the Damage floor, or something like that. Can I assume that Strength/Determination work the same way on a graph?

Hope this helps answer any questions :D

I appreciate your video, despite having played my War the opposite. I think part of the reason I so heavily specced into VIT because from lv 1, your told it's the stat of choice. Well and it comes in handy for Solo Tanking Ramuh.

While I've heard many tell me that Parry was a stat that was underwhelming, It's hard to break from the idea that anything that helps you survive is an ideal thing to pour into. I'm full i110 Vit, and with thrill, I'm hitting 1.3k... though I suppose that goes with 618 Vit and Parry/Vit food.

I had considered getting some vit i90 accessories to augment towards STR and such, since it's better returns than Vit 30 < Str 30 through stat reallocation. I think that puts me at 9950 with Defiance up and in party, but sounds like your saying that my current setup is overkill for defense. I do have full i110 STR accessories, but obviously, no Vit. Perhaps some hybrid there would hold me over better until I find myself with pentamelded i90s.

On the off chance anyone was curious... this is my current set - http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...acter/1567862/

Assuming I haven't changed classes by the time you read it.

What comes to crafted ilvl90 accessories it might be a good idea to wait and see if patch 2.4 adds new ones, if that doesnt happen then get ilvl90 ones.

Kinda off subject... but do tanks following this method still solo tank Ramuh with 9k-9.5k Health? Personally found the extra "beef" to make Lustrates all the more cozy... though it's not like I won't still have full i110 tank accessories to switch to for that fight.

In other news... going full pentameld i90 would cost me millions that I do not have. A single accessory is upwards of 300k, and det IV is over a half mil each.

Yeah they are pretty silly to make. (always have been unless you were doing Savage) That all might change with 2.4 and Coil3 progression, we will find out soon!

Ramuh - I've never bothered to single tank him but I've read the strats and yeah you'd want a full VIT build. The DPS check is extremely low and you are pretty much a big punching bag. Hate shouldn't be an issue either with all the moving around.

When we do Ramuh we bring 2 STR spec WARs.
