PLD Novus Parry vs. Crit

[Kerwin]

Do not do this. Don't just put in as much ACC as you can.
If you're already meeting the ACC cap, or don't need that much ACC at all, then it becomes even more useless than parry. That's why I reduced the ACC on my Curtana and replaced it with DET, because I was already well past the ACC cap and didn't need most of it.

It's stupid to assume that you will be at accuracy cap for very long with newer content coming out. I will laugh at all who stack DET/CRIT with no accuracy when they start wiffing and need to re do their novus agian.

Still pretty new to FF14, but a FF11 vet. This is my take on Acc/Det vs Crit/Det

At this moment (not saying this will happen in the future) you have 2 sets of 110 gear. From the news, we will get new currency to again, buy gear, and coil to get gear

Current 2 sets are uncorrelated.


1. You have Acc/Det you put on more Crit gear
2. You have Crit/Det you put on more Acc gear
3. You run into Acc issues during your progession, you eat acc food
4. You hit Acc cap, during your progession, yup you guessed it crit/attack food or be cheap and don't eat food

It's a 2 step flow chart A to B or B to A

my 2 cents

Whatever busts your nuts, brother.

Shame you're not able to put that extra accuracy elsewhere ...oh, wait.


Not including weapon and shield, PLD can get up to 611 accuracy, probably not going to need that much for a while.

We're going to be getting more accuracy when they add new gear too. To be vigorously beating off to the idea of people not meeting accuracy requirements, like some people, is just silly.

You are thinking about this all wrong.

Don't stack ACC. The game is not balanced with you needing to stack ACC on your Relic in order to hit the ACC cap.

Curtana already has more ACC than any other weapon for same item lv. It's not necessary to add more in order to reach the cap.

Sure, the first week a patch drops you won't be ACC capped again but you can reach it again before the month is up after getting the new gear. Then for the next 4-5 months you will have ACC on your Curtana that does absolutely nothing to enhance your gameplay, and is a wasted stat.

By contrast if you put DET or CRIT you will do slightly more damage and generate more threat.

I wouldn't do Parry as our high block rate makes Parry have little impact in our tanking.

Since 2.38 BiS requires capped ACC on your Nexus Curtana and Shield, it is a pretty safe stat to max out going forward.....ACC is the best secondary available, its currently used for BiS. Come 2.4 it will allow your planned i130 process to be more forgiving especially if you are doing FCoB since your drops will be random. Lastly chances are when relics are bumped to match i135 it will more then likely be BiS again. (capped ACC/DET)

Crit does extremely little to our DPS and Det is the 2nd best secondary until ACC is capped and then its best.
