    Allagan Axe vs. Bravura +1

    The only reason I'm for the Allagan axe is the stat increase coming in 2.1 (presumably), however no matter what combination of gear I use, i have more ACC than I need.

    Here's my current BiS Build for 2.1: http://xivdb.com/?wardrobe/5479/Taal's-BiS-WAR

    Is the Det/DMG increase over the huge parry buff is worth it?

    EDIT: changed materia on Accessories because is incorrect materia caps.

    Socketing mind? Is there some mind interaction with our self heals I'm unaware of?

    XIV has issues with placing on 2 of the same ring, they are socket'd with Vit IV + Parry IV + Det IV + Det IV + Vit II.

    Is Det better than Crit?

    2x DET IV is a waste, pretty sure you can only have 8 det on ilvl 70 acc

    Don't want to cap parry on the ring?

    Allagan Axe is worthless if you have the Allagan Head as +1 gives you Parry (much more useful than det/crit rate in 2.1) and you're already at the Acc cap unless you really want that Skill Speed from Hero's accessories. Determination scales your damage linearly whereas Crit is % chance, so unless you're trying to get higher crit chance on IB (not nearly as useful in 2.1) then DET will more reliable than Crit. So if you do want to maximize DET, then crafted DPS gear and the Allagan axe is for you. If you want the maximize parry, Allagan accessories, Allagan Head, and +1 Bravura are for you.

    Also the +1 Bravura glows pink, so consider that as well. ;D

    But the allagan axe will (most likely) offer a higher DPS, which outweighs the parry IMO. And i have the Helm, but I'm not sure if I want to +1 my Bravura before buying the body and hoping the Axe drops soon.
    Also the +1 Bravura glows pink, so consider that as well. ;D

    I'm almost positive it caps at 12, but i couldn't find a definitive number for it.
