How are you handling your Novus upgrade?

Now that the patch notes are up, I'm wondering how all our healers here are intending to upgrade their animus weapons.

It looks like we can pick the two five secondary stats we want to increase... but then we're bound to that choice until a future patch.

Personally, for the WHM animus, I'm leaning towards DET/PIE/Crit.

As SCH I am looking at Crit/DET or Crit/PIE still undecided :)

I'll be doing Det/Pie as a WHM when I finally get there 1/9 on the books so far.

I'd go Det/Crit for SCH but I don't even have that atma yet (or plan to since T5 book is good for now).

I am stilli missing two atmas :D but I will probably go with Det/spell speed. I don't think I need more piety, not for the content I am doing at least.

Crit/PIE will be fun on SCH. Adloquiums all day, every day.

Det/Pie you can have with Coil7+8 as whm.

Yeah I was just looking at the 110 weapons and saw that the Yagrush has those stats already. Funny, really.

Yeah I could but my static just started clearing T6. And as a healer I'm low on the list to get the weapon, and still getting soldiery pieces for my healers (WHM/SCH) granted should be done with that after next week but I have other jobs I'd like to gear up. And depending on what the caps are you could get the Novous higher. That's not to mention what the next stage will get you too.

I'm stuck with the exact same dilemma. I'm leaning more towards Crit/Det at this time as I'm pretty sure Det will actually boost fairy heals, but more PIE is always nice too.
High Allagan Book is Crit/PIE, so maybe that would be a good choice for Novus just so you won't really notice much of a change in secondary stats when you upgrade

I am not 100% sure but the Sphere Scroll Thyrus Caps are:

Accuracy : 35
Skill speed : 44
Critical hit : 44
Piety : 33
Determination : 31
Spell speed : 44
Parry : 44

So we can't add 44 DET and 31 PIETY but max 31 DET and 33 PIETY and with the remaining 11 points we could spend them in Accuracy but the result would be in a weapon a little better than Yagrush. Is it worth it?
Maybe is it better go with 44 Spell Speed and 31 DET?
