    Many peoples here also put ACC because they feel its too expensive, that's all, its not half bad if you want to complete Novus

    But if you really serious ask my opinion, its wasted because you never need extra ACC from putting ACC Materia on Novus, you can optimize your ACC by gears alone

    If you gonna put ACC on it just to complete Novus, I suggest you stop use Novus for good and go get Book of Spades instead, its better than Novus + ACC Materia unless you not bother doing Monster Hunt for Sands exchange or don't have group 2nd Coil Sands and UAS farming

    Go heavy or go home
    False. With the current available pieces of gear, you can have the difference between a full DET/CRT Novua and one with ACC at around a 0.5% difference in damage between both.

    There's nothing false about that. The Book of Spades would be better in that scenario and you could just tack on any extra gear from coil for accuracy if it was truly needed for something like Savage. Whether a High Allagan Ring or a High Allagan Bracelet.

    That's only considering if he's adding ACC while lowering the CRT (recoverable from Hat or Shoes mainly). As DET is the most valuable stat to replace from current gear, and seeing how DET Materia is the most expensive as well, i'm inclined to think that would be the target of replacement, which would in fact be unrecoverable.

    If the sole purpose however was just to finish the book so throw in ACC, if you currently invested alot of DET and CRIT into it, that seems like a pretty big waste financially if there's options that will outshine its purpose easily, if you don't plan on doing Savage.

    Adding ACC to a Novus doesn't give you DPS,you can get out DPS'd by a HA Book, and a Book of Spades depending on how much ACC your sacrificing which i'm guessing would probably be 19+ to sub for another gear.

    The one and true use of adding ACC to a Novus is majorily only Savage Coil as you can make better builds that way.

    With BiS builds, the difference in average damage is stupidly low. For example, a build with 363 DET, 573 INT and 535 CRT (Full CRT/DET Novus) vs a build with 342 DET, 573 INT and 549 CRT (Novus with ACC and Tier III CRT/DET), the difference in average damage for Fester is 6 whole damage, a mighty 0,44%. It's so low that you would not even notice a difference on a parser. So saying that ACC is wasted on a Novus when you can switch pieces around to obtain a nigh identical result is indeed a false statement.
