Okay, so I'm sure there's been plenty of discussion over what the best thing to put in a Novus is. I'd like to go another direction. What would you consider to be the silliest ways to pump up a Novus? We can put up to five stats in each weapon. Here's some I've come up with:
Any Class Without Spells
Spell Speed + Piety: Nuff said.
Any Class Without Weaponskills
Skill Speed + anything: Nuff said.
Paladin
Spell Speed + Piety: Flash is a spell. I've got to cast it faster! Cast it more!
Crit + Det: I'm a closet Warrior! Rawr! Okay, so this isn't silly in the right situations, but I really wanted to say that line.
Warrior
Spell Speed + Piety: What? I can cast Flash too! Don't judge me!
Dragoon
Parry + Skill Speed + Accuracy: Who's the tank? This guy!
Parry + Spell Speed + Piety + Accuracy: lolDragoon.
Monk
Skill Speed + Accuracy: You will never escape my 100 fists of--- Oh, I'm out of TP.
Crit Rate + Determination + Skill Speed: Balance is key to the Way of the 100 Fists. Actually, this might not be silly either. 22 Crit, 31 Det, 22 Skill Speed? Might not be terrible at all.
White Mage
Crit Rate + Spell Speed: I'll run out of MP in 15 seconds, but I'll overheal like mad while I do it!
Scholar
Piety + Spell Speed: Oh, don't mind me. My MP tick just recovers more than Physick costs. Lalala.
Black Mage
Piety + Determination: I can totally cast one more fire before switching to ice. I think...
Summoner
Spell Speed + Piety: I don't need my pet to crit and increase my Spell Speed for me, and who needs Aetherflow anyway?

So, does anyone else have some silly Novus ideas?

The funny thing about your Dragoon Novus idea is if you remove that parry its pretty much the stats of a majority of our Sol gear.

I don't want to go offtopic but I think piety on the SMN is completely viable xD, allows for more potential rezzes with less mana stress + more ruin II spam = leaves room for autoattacks (don't laugh here, the autoattacks of a SMN outdamage the autoattacks of a PLD under shield oath with the same ilvl weapon, autoattacking with a SMN is literally like adding a free 25 potency DoT more to one target). Piety on the SCH isn't terribad either, I was actually between Crit + Det or Crit + Piety...and I still haven't decided. Yes spell speed and skill speed are terrible and should be avoided at all costs.

I'm probably going to do the whm one.
Crit + spell speed.
It'll compensate for my lower heals as i like to stack vit.
Higher crits + spam cure 1 with cure 2 procs
Might put some mind in but meh idk lol -
06-13-2014, 05:38 AMDonjoYeah, I had a hard time coming up with something "silly" for Summoner and Scholar. They're lucky enough that most of the available stats are actually useful to them. Although... I could have used parry. Those books make great shields.Quote:

Parry + anything on a BLM. Quadflare, proceed to steal the aggro from the entire first giant pull in brayflox only to stand there like a man..."don't worry guys, I prepared myself for these kind of situations".
