Why is SE so passionate about giving PLD's Critical Hit Rate on their gear?

SS is the worst stats for all class, not just Paladin, even for MNK.

Back to the topic: Because War is SE beloved child.

P/S: Nothing wrong with having more Crit than Parry. I personally prefer to balance out between Parry and Crit for good defence and good DPS

Skill speed is the same importance as Crit on MNK.

Nope, the more SS you have, the more struggle with TP you have in a long fight. Take T8 for example. I take SS as granted, never one it is one of my priority when it comes to gearing. The order should be Acc>Det>Crit>SS for MNK.

No, I am right. Your example is quite literally the only place in the game where Skill speed is not on par with crit because there are no breaks to recover TP. Since they are the same weight, I gear Acc > Det > crit=ss (whichever is higher)
