[Bard] Novus Stats — I still haven't gotten mine :P

[LunarEmerald]

Eating food for acc is not a dps loss, it is actually a stat increase. Consider it 11 crit/det you can put in your novus on top of the 27 crit you get from apkallu omelette.

And even if you needed the 515 ACC, using my novus build switching out the choker and ramuh ring for soldiery you will still end up with more crit/det than a 44acc/31crit build.

Bis 46 crit and 32 det Nexus without HA choker and without ramuh ring using lava toad legs (27 acc and 11 crit): 504 crit and 321 det

Bis with high allagan bow (32 acc and 32 det) with HA choker and without ramuh ring using black truffle risotto (11 crit and 17 determination): 518 crit and 332 det

If you use a weapon without accuracy then you have to use an inferior stat boosting food which results in overall less stats.

You can't use the HA choker with the first build or you won't reach 512 accuracy, even with food.
