No Crit Chest Piece over 160...?

Ya. As I've stated in the title.

I am annoyed by this as well. People might cry OMG SCH OP BECAUSE ADLO but hey, stacking crit is now quite a challenge.

Meanwhile white mage AF2 chest has all the crit ever >>

SCH got seriously shafted not only be looks of the new gear but also stats..doesn't make any sense to me. On the other hand WHM stats look weird, too. No clue what the hell is going on with itemization/stats right now:

SS: 242
VIT: 413
PIE: 431
MIN: 623
CRI: 156
DET: 200

No ACC
Calculated with only one ring, though.

(sorry for reposting my comment from another thread but I thought it's even more relevant here..)

I guess SCH have to revert to getting right side crafted accessories with cit and vit/acc slotted..

That's what I calculated from the upgraded savant gear and fabled ilevel 210

It almost feels like a stealth nerf to our Adlo with such little crit available.

This is driving my SCH nuts - I am still using the Green 160 - figured one of the new ones would have crit and I'd upgrade then. I play SMN and SCH consistently so try and cherry pick gear to keep them both playable in the hardest content. Not sure what I am gonna do now - maybe just upgrade to the 180 while still keeping healing body on lowest priority. SMN body, on the other hand, might be the first place my Esotercis go.

Late Edit: 95% accuracy in Alex 1 Savage, past Faust and numerous attempts at the main boss.

Alexander normal 190 gear has quite a bit of crit. The body is less appealing in that regard, but enough to mix and match with law gear. It isn't that terrible, is what I am saying.

So...we con the White Mages into trading with us, right?

Right?

AST AF2 chestpiece has crit too. :D http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...m/c62af778f20/ Slightly less but offers more piety in place of that. Still, I'll take it! And it looks awesome!

Only one I can find with crit for SCH is this crafted piece:

This is a bad idea. You're giving up way too much mind for very little crit. Read and look at the crit formula. Secondary stat scaleback makes this not worth it.

Anyways - yeah I'm kind of annoyed that neither of our 210 weapons has crit. Guess we'll have to wait for new relic.

Basically if you critstacked as much 210 gear as possible and had best crit food you can hit 800 crit which will give you a 15.34% chance to hit and a 1.55 multiplier.

I am not making the case that the higher ilvl pieces are not superior. But managing finite resources while trying to keep 2 jobs ready, I have to make decisions about what suffices and where is the biggest bang for the buck. And not having Crit on the good pieces makes them less desirable even though they are undoubtedly better.
