Sad Sad day for SCH

[Zefiris]

Well, I never gave attention for critical hit rate. Seems lottery. I still need do more 3 books, but after this I intend to put piety, determination and spell speed in Novus.

Anyway, I never did Coil and probably never will do. Then I do not undersstand about this need to crit.

Slightly off-topic, but do yourself a favor and ditch the spell speed idea on your Novus. Crit will serve you much, much better.

You don't need to be running end game to appreciate the value of a higher chance to land crit shields, not to mention how crit impacts out off- DPS compared to spell speed.

as an endgame raider sch from day1 2.0, Crit is a nice bonus, but I rarely use ADLO. Piety is more consistent and scales with my aetherflow. Lets me cover mistakes (various resses) without having to worry about my MPs

You can heal perfectly fine with only poetics gear, if a little less optimized.

If you can't join a raid group the small loss to optimization is a non-issue. If your healing is strong enough to comfortably handle ramuh/shiva you're essentially done.
