CRIT vs DET (on War)

Reasons?

Point for point det is the best secondary. That is also the reason IVs are 400-500k each. So stack as much of the best stat as you can afford and then stack crit.

Slow hits do not make crit better.

To expand on this: Beause det is better point for point, you get less det on every other piece of gear to balance that out. For instance, Tier IV crit materia gives 9, while Tier IV det materia gives only 6. However, on the Novus, there is no penalty in terms of stat weight. Each point of crit only counts as 1 toward the 75 total, and so does each point of crit. So on the novus in particular, you're getting more out of DET because it's ignoring the stat weights (the penalty that normally gives you less DET).
