Smn Det vs Crit

So im completing a build for my smn, all i need now is allagan weapon and t4 belt, and was wondering which stat would be better, and how much of each stat should I have, as of right now without food I have 520 crit and 271 det.

How much Acc do you have?

As of crit vs det, there's 2 seperate builds (and I believe 3 seperate det builds according to T0rin. Could be mistaken) And both are a minuscule difference. But basically with the crit BiS build, you'll end up with these stats http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/LYXX

I have 448 accuracy, and im following that crit build, Im missing allagan weapon and t4 belt.

It's a minimal difference but assuming average crit rate luck Det ends up slightly better by like 2-3 dps. Crit has the potential to do a fair bit more, but would take a lot of crits which is down to RNG.
So you get back to the regular "det for stability, crit for big hits" thing. SMN does have a lot of chances to crit with like 5 things proccing per GDC but none of them are terribly big.

The main Det build is the complete opposite of the crit build though, if you want to keep accuracy

448 acc is good enough for Garuda in T5. I don't think it's 100% accuracy but it's enough that Garuda will probably not miss (if she does then you're unlucky as hell I imagine.)

448 is maximize DPS SMN can ditching out as possible

while not lose an opportunities to increase Determination + Critical in balanced stats

If you are ilvl 90 and at the accuracy cap, you can actually pretty much go with whatever combination of det/crit/spell speed you want. The theorycrafters have shown that the difference between best in slot and worst in slot (maintaining the the accuracy cap) is only about 6 dps.
