Sooooo, Relic Stats....

[Kaiser-Ace]

I main as a DRG in raids so I've been wondering what stats to put on nexus so my Zodiac Weapon will have optimum stats.

I was thinking Determination, Critical Hit, and Skill speed seeing as those are the three stats I always have trouble keeping in Balence. I know most will say to Use Accuracy but I had over 500 accuracy at iLvl 100 and am slowly pushing 550 and 600 as I get closer to iLvl 120 mean while my gear load outs frequently suffer from either low Crit or Low determination.

So any thoughts or comments on how to fully optomize my Nexus the 1st go around?

TOTALLY get parry for the pure loldrg status. Maybe throw in some piety.

Really though, Crit>Det>Acc, skill speed will drain you, free up the accuracy gear for strength.

if you wanna maximize ur relic.. you'll probably have to cap 2 stats otherwise you'll be screwed over with stat loss when upgraded

31 Det / 22 Crit / 22 Acc

Alright, so Det, Crit, and Acc. Since my Acc is always in the Uber Teir just from Gear Stats wouldn't there be an Extra poin bonus by just doing Crit and Det?

My Strength stats have never been a problem. My Gear on it's own has always kept it at needed levels. pluss isn't Strenght one of the two stats that Gae Bolg Novus keeps when you upgrade Animus?

The question now with the Zodiac upgrade is, does this even matter anymore? With i125, do those "lost" points due to rounding come back like they should?

EDIT: Hm, reading the reddit post, it seems like it does still matter, and it really shouldn't at this point. How you choose to distribute your stats should in no way impact the raw number of stat points you end up getting 15 ilevels down the line. Everyone should get x number of stats, distributed accordingly, if they put in the 75 points like everyone else. Bleh.

Decided to go Det and Crit combo. since it's a ... what 75 point split? What numbers would they cap at? or would I need a gear caculator for it?

So, based on that reddit thread, I can make a relic with +31 det/ 36 crit/ and +8 acc, still giving me +9 stats?

since 36/44 gives +1 on nexus, and +3 on zodiac, +31 det gives+1 on nexus, and +3 on zodiac, and 8/36 pie gives +1 on zodiac, this should hold true...
