AST Weight

Have anyone figured out the stats weight for healers? Ast in patircular.

Mind > Crit = Det > SS
Wildcard: Piety.

My reasoning beyond mind is that crit & det are the only modifiers to our heals. Stacking det is fine, but since AST has no Fey Illumination or Divine Seal, AST is going to really want to maximize what they can get per GCD. At least that's my reasoning anyways.

In addition, if an AST ever goes in Nocturnal Stance, Crit Shields are always better than non-crit shields loaded with DET.

Spellspeed is increasing HoT heal, so you might want to look into it if you play in Diurnal.

When I picked up AST at level 30 my immediate thought was Crit--spamming my tiny heals, that sudden crit would be fantastic. Further along I'm seeing more usefulness out of Crit.

From what i heard, Spell Speed doesnt really increase hot heals by all that much. Not enough to warrant stacking it anyways. The majority seem to favor stacking crit though.

So far, I have favored Crit and Spell Speed on AST (with still trying to load up on piety too).

Crit & Piety > Det & SS

SS might replace Piety if Ewer is a game changer.

From day one playing it I aim also for Crit/Piety build.
I am a scholar main so maybe thats why I go crit > det as even my whm has a semi crit build (still level 50 470 crit). The need for MP seemed to me obvious as I need to spam bene 2 a lot, while on sch Adlo spam is just bad playstyle and a huge waste of mp except for the use with ET (my opinion).
I just love when ED crits and the current weapons serve my opinion even tho I didnt get yet to get my AST the 170 weapon and am still on Library globe.
I consider getting a new weapon and try AST after changes in T13 for today's raid. I been as level 55 in there before (got queued up while fateing and went oh well lets try) and I think AST didnt make the healing much worse.
AST is still new ill be toying with diff builds but crit piety for now it is for me

But does it really matter? As esoteric healer gear is full of piety/spellspeed from what i saw, not like there really is much choice.

Individual ticks of HoT buffs can also crit!
