So why don't you go rewrite your post instead of insulting my intelligence with it. In case you noticed my Novus IS maxed SSPD.

EDIT: Also, the comment regarding DET IV getting cheaper by the day is completely laughable. Perhaps on your server, but on Famfrit the price has more than doubled over the past month. Going from 300k before 2.3 to 700k yesterday. Most people I know, even the rich ones, would balk at the thoight of spending that much for a few DET points.
I read your post. I gave examples where Soldiery gear had spellspeed on. Head, Gloves, Feet, Neck. Not a huge amount I agree, but there are also plenty of other viable options. ST gear. Crafted gear.

You said yourself that you aren't wasting points on dumb stats. That was the exact wording you used. Feel free to explain how that isn't what I took it as. If you want to rewrite that, then feel free. I was talking about what the best dps would be from a Novus. Its a fact that a 44 SPD 31 Det Novus gives the most dps. If you want to run something else, either crit/det, or a hybrid for it to be cheaper, then that is your choice.

And Det IV has been steadily getting cheaper for the last month or so on Faerie, and given how the speed of spiritbonding has increased (if you are in the right area/dungeon), and as more people get their Novus, the price will just drop until SE make another change. Sure, some people can't afford it, but given how easy it is to make gil in this game, I know i'll be going 44/31.
