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

[Alistaire]

I'm not talking a straight INT>PIE swap on bonus attributes, and if you think 1 INT is worth more than any amount of PIE, you should just stop talking.

So we're agreed then. Except you haven't then explained where you're losing INT to get PIE. Two melded i90s?

But no, it is NOT worth the gil/time to min/max a Novus as there will always be weapons with the desired min/max stats otherwise available in game. Just make a good solid weapon.

True (as true as opinions can go) except for the DET weighting. A novus will potentially have 44 crit/31 det where any other i110 weapon with crit high det low would be 44 crit 22 det, or det high crit low would be 31 det 31 crit.
