Bravura Novus

[JonBigwood]

What about choosing 3 stats (or more)? You would need less higher grade materia, and the difference might not be that noticeable, you'd at least gain a bit of other stat, even if it's not so important.

I don't think a mistake choosing stats will be a make or break mistake.

I'm referring to the end stats. To get 31 points of DET on your Bravura Novus, you're only going to have 31 points for your other secondary stats. If you want to use 31 of your infusions on Determination, you're only going to get 22 DET on your final weapon. If the devs were dumb enough to actually allow DET *not* scale, there would be no reason to have any other stat taking up your 44 because it's worth so much more on a point for point basis.

False, there is no scaling with novus.

since the first novus weps were done 6 days ago, http://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/commen...novus_weapons/ i think there must be a bravura novus somewhere

So here's a side question: if I'm not interested in Coil, is Accuracy still worth bothering with?

I generally enjoy dungeons, primals, and even CT, but I don't get involved in bleeding edge content. Just more trouble then it's worth to me.

Ok...so now that we know we can get 31 Determination.

What do you guys think of the set-up below. I'm quoting to give the original person credit.

I am thinking 31DET, 24Parry, 20ACC.

This option is attractive because obviously 31 det is very nice. I have also considered the option of:

31DET/ 24CRIT / 20ACC

I like the extra accuracy because of the acc requirements of T9, and I imagine that future Coil will have even higher requirements. Though I don't feel placing all of the points into accuracy is remotely necessary (due to the high amount of acc already on coil2 gear).

Leviathan and Moogle EX both have accuracy requirements on the order of coil 1. I think it's safe to assume newer extremes will too.
But also 1st coil up to turn 5, at least, is incredibly easy now.

It doesn't work like that. 31 infusions = 31 det. Same goes for piety. Novus doesn't take into account stat weights.

Someone has already completed a 44crit/31det novus bow. It's somewhere toward the end of the big novus thread in the general forums. EDIT: someone beat me to it above.

But realistically, you probably should have already seen this coming. *If* they were going to weight the resultant stats, then det would cap at 44 infusions and get scaled back to 31. They would not have capped the infusions at 31 and then applied the stat weight penalty too.

EDIT: nvm on materia tiers, I read the initial quote wrong.

Anyhow, I'm probably going to go the cheap route and do a relatively equal split between parry, accuracy and det.

[Riyos]

I probably gonna put parry and skill speed.
Yeah now you can insult me.
Maybe even with some acc dunno.
