Question about Paladin Novus

So I'm sure it has been asked a lot so sorry but I'm planning to do this with my Novus

Sword : 22 Parry 22 Accuracy 9 DET
Holy Shield: 8 Parry 8 ACC 6 DET

Both to save some gil and have some flexibility is this good bad awful? I don't really plan to do content progressively as I take my time bUT still one day would like to do FCoB and other end game stuff

Parry sucks. Put on crit if you need a third stat to save money.

This question gets asked a lot. Best to just go find the other people who have your question.

Yeah I've read them and they are slightly old and are all filled with 1 person say parry others det crit so not super helpful I'm more looking for recommendations on the stats I posted should I do more acc more det no parry etc

I did Crit until it got too expensive, Det until it got too expensive, acc until it got too expensive, then skill speed. Spent 800k for all melds. I was being incredibly frugal. I think I have 7 SkS on the sword. But I also need accuracy badly since fending gear from WoD has minimal accuracy.

Do you regret doing it that way?

No if anything I need more accuracy. It really sucked having to unequip my Demon Armor of Fending for my Noct Breastplate because I was too on accuracy for T4.... I ended up buying food and swapping my gloves instead.

Also I did not fall into a shallow grave because I was broke either spending all my money maxing out. Accuracy is invaluable as any class. It just offers more gear choices. If I can sacrifice 14 det/crit on my weapon for 14 det/crit on a pair of gloves I will be much happier.

Hmm well maybe I'll do what you do only no skill speed lol and just spend extra on acc cause I hate switching out gear

Det/Acc/Crit

Only 3 stats that should be on a PLD relic.

Only 3 stats that should be on ANY relic.

Ok thanks for your help I think I decided on

Sword: 22 det 22 acc 9 crit
shield: maybe 9 det 13 crit or 13 acc 9 det or 13 det 9 acc

Not too sure on shield lol

Also I just got my shield animus but still working on shield. ..I can't start the next step until both are on the same step right?

You can split the stats 3 ways and not have to use any tier IV materia.

Use accuracy until no more tier III will fit, then det, then crit.

I did parry right when the patch was dropped for this level

Hit zeta and re did it
shield det9/crit13
Sword acc22/det22/crit9

Are you starved for acc at all without it on your shield?

Not so much @579 b4 food
But will all be mute in heavensward if they let us trade it in To skip the 3.1 step?

Acc becomes a problem when you get DW legs or are using WoD chest. Poetic tanks are swimming in ACC.

I have a similar setup (shield 11det/15 crit, sword 35 acc/22 det/7 crit). I don't have a problem with accuracy aside from having to switch from the WoD body to the poetics body for T12 and 13. I'm fine for everything else.
