Why is all the tome jewelry some form of + crit?
Most of the gear has been spread out in terms of itemization when comparing coil drops to myth gear. You can pick upgrades based on secondary stats you prefer and try to wait on coil drops for others.
But not the jewelry. If i don't want crit on my jewelry as a WHM i'm forced to wait for coil drops which to this date i have never seen a healer drop in coil up to twintania.
Once i get my gloves (I upgraded relic, pants and boots first) my options are to get pieces of gear i would personally replace with coil gear, which is a waste considering the 300 weekly cap, or to get terrible jewelry.
I really just don't understand why the stats on jewelry are the same, with minor differences in the amount of crit/piety.

cry more
they are uping the cap to 450 on myths
and your supposed to mix and match your gear based on what stats u need. +crit is enver a bad thing since crit heals can save the day. -
11-23-2013, 12:42 AMErianeHow can you mix and match to get the stats you want when all the jewlery is + crit. Thats my point, thanks. And if i was relying on crit to "save the day", i'd have bigger problems.Quote:

Scholar here. We got a good deal on myth jewelry, but what makes a scholar happy doesn't necessarily make a white mage happy.

11-23-2013, 01:12 AMErianeI'm all for making scholars happy... but all the jewlery? pffft.Quote:

You can supplement with allagan drops or astral/rose gold accessories. No one said you have to have all hero's accessories.
I look at the hero's accessories(for the most part), as baby ilvl 90 gear for those who can't do coil/don't have the time to farm for the crafted accessories.
As a scholar, we lucked out. I don't understand why it's crit on every piece but I'm not going to cry about it. Even if I was a WHM main, I wouldn't care because in the time it would take to farm enough myth to get all hero's accessories, I would have enough time to farm for astral accessories and/or get drops from coil. -
11-23-2013, 01:40 AMErianeI have several crafted Astral pieces and no luck with drops from coil. So now my options are to not upgrade to ilvl 90 jewelry or get poorly itemized ilvl 90 jewelry in every jewlery slot. I'm not saying none of the jewelry should have crit, i'm wondering why ALL have crit and no other stats like det or ss.Quote:

As a sch you will really luck out after 2.1. The increase in myth tomes means you will be able to get crit jewlery faster and there is no luck involved. You farm and get optimized gear upgrades. -

I think for secondary stats, the extra Crit would be nice for non-Coil content. Without crit gear, averaging a little below 5% crit on a dungeon run. With about 8+ instance runs a week and soon to be more, some crits may be nice. It's also nice when a Regen tick crit procs.
I try to look at the Astral and caster Rose Gold accessories in one of three ways:
1) If healer is not my main and I do not have i90 accessories, this allows me to start closing the gap via effort or money.
2) Allows for a different build that the Allagan and Hero accessories do not offer.
3) A set of multi-purpose caster accessories that will function for four jobs.
And while I would like to have more options, I think Astral gear is that way where a White Mage could explore the "option" of reliable Cleric's Stance dancing in Coil, otherwise Aeros, Holys, Fluid Auras, etc. can and will miss.
I try to think of the i90 accessories as specializing toward the one field that the stats give us. E.g. of Fending specializes toward survival for a tank, but doesn't lend itself to the Sword Oath Paladin or the hybrid-Defiance Warrior -

Generally speaking, vendor gear is never going to be perfectly itemized. I think it was a mistake on SE's part to make all of the jewelry Crit, but like others have pointed out - you do have the option to wait for drops. I know, it takes a long time, and I have been there before, trust me. But you aren't going to suffer a huge amount by having to wait.

I believe you will find that with Allagan jewelry of healing, 3 pieces are +DET and 2 are +SSp. As a SCH, you can have them. Aside from the ring, a SCH is better off waiting on those rings, leaving you all to your lonesome to pick them up.
About the only thing Allagan has over Hero's, is that it will be bumped to iLV95 in 2.1. Probably means +1 to each/some stat on those pieces.
As for what you do in the mean time? Seriously, chill out with your i70 jewelry. Fully melded, those kick the crap out of just about everything else. Realistically, melded equipment should be closer to i80-85 depending on how you match it up. -

Scholars have to buy most of their i90 gear. White Mages have to rely on drops. It's unfortunate, but it is what it is.
