SCH lacking crit on AF2 and Savage

This is... kind of ridiculous. The SCH weapon from both Savage and Eso gear doesn't have crit hit. Only 2 eso body pieces have it and 2 healer accs have it. Yet the WHM top and weapon both have it. The AST top has it. Squeenix... did you mix up the WHM and SCH stats? I know even SCH needs buttloads of piety now but... really? 94 spell speed on a weapon and almost no crit hit rate? And basically forcing us to go for the crafted gear (which, I hope to god actually has crit hit) which will probably cost a 5-20m or be a huge pain in the butt to try and make it myself since I'm hearing terrible things (maybe unfounded?) about the red scrips. Great. Going through the rounds in screwing up most classes in one way or another :/

(It's not like SCH's chance to shine has anything to do with Crit hit rate at all...)

Also, I realize a lot of people complain about a lot of different things, and this post really is no different. But... maybe that's evident of a larger problem SE is having with giving players things that make sense / what they want?

(Of course they're not gonna give SCH Crit hit on EVERY piece. duh. I'm okay with that. But 4 out of 12 pieces seems kind of ridiculous... and I wouldn't be surprised if WHM/AST get more crit hit total on all their pieces)

As far as I know, they've never itemized according to the stat weights that we prefer. I don't know what methods they use to decide what goes where, but the things we want have never really seemed to be a big deal to them.

The dart board *did* serve them well for all these years of FFXI.

Yeah, itemization is basically terrible (on purpose?) right now. It's like they're actively trying to kill what little choice we have in terms of secondaries instead of making them interesting.

I noticed that too when I was looking at the two new books. I was fine with body pieces because there was a healthy amount of accessories and other equipment that had crit on them. It's a little underwhelming but on the flip side, determination adds a bit of stability healing with high numbers, right?

The peity is also welcomed as most pieces that offer crits has little or no peity which does make having a shallow MP pool a legit concern going into Savage.
