If you're a SCH please prioritized Crit :)

So right now my Scholar has about 647 ( edit: I lead I have 636 ) Crit.

While doing turn 10 -13' I averaged the following:

My Psysicks crit 27% percent of the time

Adloquim crit 25%

Succor crit 31%

Embrace crit 28%

DPS 32%

Whispering dawn crit 27%

I'll be sure to give you guys Screenshots next week i thought I saved them but didnt :(. Compare to the WHM in my group. He has about 400ish Crit and he is in the mid teens when it come to healing crit. His single target heal does about 250 more but I crit often. This for the people who said Crit shouldn't be prioritized on SCH

Other Scholars post your numbers too

Even if your HPS works out to around the same, your friend's healing is more consistent.
Crit is only truly superior to raw healing strength when it comes to Adloquium.

Crit is good because of Adlo, the other spells don't really matter much when it comes to Crit.

IMO, you should prioritise Crit over other secondaries where possible, but you should prioritise MND and Weapon Damage over everything.

Well if your fairy crits you get a spell speed buff. It's not all about Adlo.

DoTs crit too. >.>

True, but that is not a reason to pick crit over MND for example. I would gladly pick crit over SpSp, PIE or DET, but iLvl beats out everything IMO.

would DET provide more consistently stronger heals?

The difference between a full DET build and an average DET build is like 30 HP on a Physick, it isn't going to make much difference.

In most cases, yes. But it's not always true when it comes to gear choice for scholar. Demon Skirt of healing, for example.
Demon skirt of healing has:
45 mind
47 vitality
44 crit rate
22 determination
9 accuracy

Dreadwyrm tonban has:
50 mind
53 vitality
33 crit rate
36 piety
9 accuracy

Difference:
5 mind
6 vitality
11 crit rate
22 determination and 36 piety.

If I remember correctly, for healing purposes 1 mind has about the same increase as 4-5 determination. The determination on the skirt would bridge the healing output difference quite a bit. For the damage aspect, it's a bit closer to 3-4 determination. For damage purposes the skirt outweighs the tonban slightly. For choosing the skirt over the tonban, you would get 11 more crit, but you trade in 36 piety and 6 vitality. The crit may or may not be worth it, depending on how much MP you're aiming for or need and/or the vitality you require for the encounter - Although this mainly applies to T13 right now.

Another item subjected for debate for "BiS" could be the demon gloves vs ironwork gloves. But remember: Preferences and needs

WD>MND>CRIT>PIE>so on
