DRG relic gipped

How on earth does the Itemization team decide which stats go on an item?
Seriously, the DRG relic weapon secondary stats are a complete joke. I actually wonder if they understand the impact of their own secondary stats, if they don't I will personally direct them towards Dervy.....oh wait, they friggin banned him.

glad I switched my main to monk awhile back.

I'm still laughing at the ninja relic stats

I'd assume it's because only a tiny portion of players embrace a 'min/max' approach - and the difference is barely a major factor outside of extremely high end content which hasn't even been cleared by the majority of players yet.

At least you guys GOT SS. BLMs get none of that. ;_;

PLD got skill speed....... yay......

So what you are saying is that, for the majority of players they don't care. However, the rare few who do care just have to lit with it, because it doesn't matter to other people. ?

Scholar Got Piety as the Main secondary Stat LOL <3 But at least we got crit zomg. Finally! Haven't had a single book with crit Since Hive. (Eso. Nope. Upgraded Eso, Obviously Nope. Alex Savage. Nope. Thordan. Nope.) Now Just gotta spam Diadem for that missing crit top. RIP SCH Crit top. Lost since i160.

Yea.. thinking about doing MCH instead

With both War and drk having crit and det. I feel really sorry for plds, i swear SE just thinks of them as jokes at this point.

They check the stats of the other i210 weapons available and avoid duplicate stats.

DRG already has CRIT/DET and CRIT/SS as available weapons. Their options where Accuracy/Something or SS/DET.

This is more or less true for every job. The jobs with Shitty Upgraded Eso/Gordian weapons get good Relics. The jobs with already good Eso/Gordain get shitty relics.

That isn't the point, the point is HOW the team decides which stats go on an item. A careless decision or a lack of care can seriously hamper an item, especially an item with a shelf life of several years.
I'm more interested in the reasoning, because I struggle to see the logic.

Take a look at the other i210 weapons, that should atleast tell you why they went SKS/DET. As for the stats numbers ... who knows?

And they actually no longer put Accuracy on weapons as a design choice, so SS/DET was the only available combination that had not already been used at this item level tier.

Meanwhile, on the PLD and SMN threads...

We don't want it.
Even Acc would be better.
Since the need for it will always increase with every new content.
The amount of SS needed won't change unless they change the skills. Eugh.

At least I don't mind the model.
Now to find a glamour set to match it.

Dartboards are amazing decision makers.

Skill Speed =/= Spell Speed.

Skill Speed is a DoW stat. Spell Speed is for us casters. I just found it funny that I saw that post on the first page and wondered what a BLM would do with 102 Skill Speed. Auto attack faster, I guess?

I personally say SpSpd/SpS and SkSpd/SkS when I type them out. When Novus was BiS I told one of my FCmates to put SS on their SCH book and they put SkSpd on it (she couldn't afford the III's and IV's for Crit, Det, or Pie at the time, so I figured some speed was better than nothing). I felt pretty bad, so I changed the way I type it so it wouldn't happen again. XD And then we proceeded to spend about a week getting her new Alexandrite to fix her book, lol.
