SCH BiS With Allagan/AF2/R30

Weapon-Allagan
Head-Allagan/AF2
Chest-AF2
Gloves-Allagan
Belt-Af2
Pants-Allagan/AF2
Shoes-R30 (Gain 21 crit. Lose 11 Piety and 21 Spell speed over Allagan boots)
neck-AF2
Ear-AF2
Wrist-AF2
Ring1-AF2
Ring2-R30( Gain 16 crit. Lose 11 spell speed and 11 det over Vortex Ring)

"But Chronos...u lose 54 stats to gain 37. that seems bad to me" My answer would be that Crit is the most important off stat to a SCH. Crit adlo/succor is insane. 37points is about 2pct extra crit chance. crit also increases the strength of the crit, im not sure by how much tho. Spell speed is worthless because u always have lustrate. 11 piety is no issue since u should never run out of mp anyway. 11 det is = to about 1.5-2 Mind. not much of a loss.

Some would argue that Royal shoes are BiS now but you should never sacrifice mnd/vit for a small increase in crit. The only piece w/o crit now is your head. Grand total crit is 560!

The only problem with this is you gotta be R30, like myself, to be able to use it. Happy Arena gentlemen. It's a fun grind. At this point, if your arent super hardcore, i would recommend just waiting until 2.2 to get i100 stuff and make this entire list pointless.

I'm thinking of doing this too. I'm r25 but it's only 50% of the way to r30 zzzz

I'm not a SCH...but I have to say, relying on crit and crit alone just screams "bad idea". Crit only increases the chance of getting a crit...it does nothing to increase the strength of crits; you need DET for that. Crits always increases healing/damage by 50%; lower base = lower crit strength.

What is your base Physic heal for? Base Adlo? Are you able to hit a 2K shield going full crit build on a non-WAR, no Eos buff or Convalescence?

Are you really willing to trade heal potency for a slightly better chance to crit shield (the only reason for this build), eating mana and never guaranteed to actually crit when you need it to save your target?

Just things to consider.

DTR is kinda pointless. <.<

Afaik 4 DTR equals 1 MND/STR/INT/DEX and 1MND equals 1.6Healpoints on Physick. So far I never had any problems with not healing enough.
Nevertheless, it's all just a "PoV-thing".

Edit: If you are not stacking DTR, it's the same as with SpS, thats not stacked. Pointless. :>

You still say AF2 body over direwolf? SCH just doesn't need the piety...

He wrote 2k Adloq shield. In other words 1k Adloq crit-heal. DTR would be nice if it would boost adloq heal to 2k. xD

just throwing it out there: this build, with HQ deviled eggs, puts you above a 21% crit rate. i think it's definitely viable.

1. Adloquium
2. Enhanced Pet Actions

Now, as for Physick and Adlo in my crit gear, I did a little test. This is unbuffed -- no food, no party, 100 casts of Physick and Adlo.
Spell Name: Min / Avg / Max / Crit %
Physick: 984 / 1124 / 1558 / 21%
Adloquium: 740 / 862 / 1174 / 38%

Any of my Adlo crits are well above 1000, meaning my Galvanize is always going to be at least 2000 absorbed.

Note that I'm full BiS with the exception of lacking the allagan healing circlet. Also, remember, this is fully unbuffed.

Out of curiosity, what's your average adlo value non-crit?
