How are you handling your Novus upgrade?

[HaelseMikiro]

For my SCH I decided to go the cheap way
Crit till max grade III materia
Det till max grade III materia
rest in piety

Honestly, if you're going to max out rank III's on crit and Det, you may as well also do the rank IV's as long as they're at 100% Infuse chance. Considering the risks you'd just finished taking with blowing up rank III's at 50-60%, 100% rank IV should still be worth it

This does kind of depend on the server you're on, I'm glad I finished my Novus already, because as it stands the grade IV crit materia go for roughly twenty times the cost of a single grade III crit materia. Which makes it pretty likely that putting in even one grade IV is more expensive than what you'd previously spent on grade III's.

Rank III Materia: 19k
Rank IV Materia: 300K

Yeah, same stuff =_=

As a WHM, I'll go 44 SS + 31 PIE.

SS is a personal choice. For me DET - supposing you add 100 point on this stat, you gain like less than 60 healing points on a Cure II - is the most useless stat (even if 100 points DET gave 100 healing points on Cure II, it doesn't change anything when your cast doesn't save your target). Mainly I stand for SS for the GCD reduction and for the target switching that is faster.

And PIE because when you start to maximize SS, you begin to burst your MP at least 10% or 20% faster than any WHM without any SS gear.

So PIE is complementary to SS in this case.

Finnaly, on others pieces of stuff, if I can get some crit it's a bonus too. I think having a base crit can help, but not having too much for the reasons a lot of ppl explained earlier.

You do realize it takes like 100SS to see even .01 second off your cast right? The fact that you say DET is useless because it wont increase your healing enough but you want to put 44 points into SS which won't even cause a noticeable increase in your casting speed.

But it is your weapon put whatever you'd like on it.

You do realize you're totally incorrect ?

Please, when you don't know what you're talking about, don't talk. Because 0,01 second of reduction needs only 10-11 SS points, and not 100 SS.

The result is, I'm playing with a GCD of 2,25 second instead of 2,5s, and a 1,8s cast instead of 2s. If I put my 44 SS on the Novus, I gain 0,04s more. This means I almost reach the 1,75s time cast.

Then, you can think it's not worth it, but I do (as I said, it's a personal choice).

Don't tell wrong infos at least
