Now that Nexus is out... still a good idea to put piety on Blm Novus or no?

I'll take a 46ss, 23det, 8crit Nexus over what you have anyday though. I still don't see why you choose piety as the stat to cheap out on when you could have easily melded it with crit.

Sure I could, and actually I can at any point I choose right now (I've got the Alexandrite and materia sitting in my inventory to do exactly this). But what's the point?

I run a lot of solo content, as well as stuff without SCHs (not SCoB obviously). So having the 251 Piety is nice w/o having to rely on anyone else. Secondly the DPS loss is minimal, I'd be surprised it if was more than 5 (oddly enough no one seems willing to actually run the numbers to find out and I can't as I am on a PS4). Having 251 Piety gives flexibility, is cheaper than a full DET build, and is very nice for solo work.

Have several million gil or are willing to spend the time soulbonding? Sure, go the optimal route of SSPD/DET. Perhaps some day even I will. But I really question how much of an increase it is, all we're talking about here is 8 DET... just 8. It's not like we're talking 20 or 50.

You pop a NQ Mulled Tea for each time you wanna run some solo content or just use Thunder I instead of Thunder II for those situations.

Which requires one to always have on hand. Far easier to not have to worry about it to begin with. Again, let's get some actual numbers to see what we are arguingover because frankly this is getting silly. 8 DET, 8 CRIT, 8 PIE.... Come on now, what does the real delta in DPS come to?

Wait...people are gimping their novus so they don't need to carry around tea???
