paladin novus stat questions

[Silja]

As others have said, and with I'll agree upon, since we have the higher ACC requirement, it's imperative that you put ACC into it at the very least up to tier III, to allow flexibility with future gear upgrades.

Not imperative in the slightest. Even at this tier, one of my FC's tanks had 590 acc in Coil 2 gear. That's waaaaay over what even you'll need for the 3rd Coil in 2.4. Itemization for accuracy will be easy even with zero ACC on your curtana or shield.

And maxing crit/det on your Novus is waaaaay more than 2-3 dps. Not sure where a previous poster pulled that number out of.

I believe you missed the part about "... to allow flexibility with future gear upgrades.", but well, whatever.

No, I didn't. You'll be going into Coil 3 with armor bought with whatever the new tomes are and whatever you pulled out of turn 2. You're still going to be over cap for turn 3 if you drop a ton of ACC into your Novus. But well, whatever.

Not everyone uses the same choices in armor/accessories right now, nor do we know what stats will be on the next sets of armor. In addition, not everyone does every content in max turtle gear (by turtle gear I mean VIT-only accessories); I use STR pentamelded Topaz accessories for most situations right now since the small loss in VIT is worth it to me. You really can't speak on behalf of everyone here.

As mentioned by Taint, Novus should be tailored to one's own playstyle and gear choices.
