Am I missing something about Novus?

Actually Novus is SCH's BiS until you get High Allagan tome, for example. And let's be honest, it isn't easy. Everyone's talking about High Allagan weapons as if they were accessible to everyone. So yes, even if it costs you a lot, I would rather make the best of it than a half assed stat one.

Even if you cannot obtain a HA weapon, is an increase of 1-2 dps really worth 10m? For some it might be, for others it's negligible.
