SMN Veil of Wiyu Novus - Which stats would be BiS?

[Lito00]

So I have been saving up Alexandrite... but before I start using them, I want to know what folks in the community think is the best Novus build for SMN.

To preface the discussion:

- It has now been proven that you can have a 44 Crit, 31 Det. There is no scaling or weighing for this i110 weapon. (My two cents: I think this is likely the best build)

- The soldiery gear for SMN has a distinct lack of good Acc choices. So getting accuracy to 470, 480, and so on... for Second Coil can be a bit of a pain. (My two cents: I personally use some i90 gear to give me the necessary Acc)

- Let's not forget that Novus will likley continue to grow in future patches. New gear will also become available, so let's keep that in mind when talking about builds.

For me I think det/crit would be best, that's what I plan on adding unless someone can really show acc would be better over one or the other

[Exstal]

1) 471 accuracy for all of Second Coil
2) Book of Spades

[NintenPyjak64]

1) 471 accuracy for all of Second Coil

For T6 and 7 yes. For 8 and 9 you need more, almost 490

[Exstal]

I don't understand. Tanks/melee went from 481 => 514 (attacking from front) and casters have to go from 435 => 490? Seems pretty inconsistent.

EDIT: Oh, you're accounting for pet..again.

Garuda-egi went from 450-491ish. SMN by itself is still 471.

[Ronove]

You need 492 as far as I recall. I might be a point or two off.

As for putting accuracy on the book, I've found at least myself, if I were doing the book, I wouldn't need it. There's enough accuracy between the Soldiery Gear and Coil drops (assuming you get lucky) to get you to the right accuracy for all of second coil. I say DET/CRIT would be the way to go for sure. That's all assuming of course our accuracy doesn't get gutted when we have to get new gear again.

How you know you can put Crit 44 Det 31 ?

Spades 110 is Crit 31 Det 31 = 66

[GreyJorildyn]

Because Novus weapons break certain cap restrictions.
