Look at my BRD chest with Crit and Det

[Elusana_Celah]

Yeah like the T9 tank gear doesn't give accuracy... I'm literally missing the boss all day 7 out of 10 skills. If the majority of bard gear from WoD doesn't give accuracy and you try to jump into T9+ or even Shiva ex with it (content that has accuracy caps) you will find yourself useless as you miss the majority of your shots.

I am finding that the gear / stat systems in this game have a horrific and not-well-thought-out design. Surely I can't be the only one who feels this way. I mean I get it, they wanted us to have 'choices' but if I can't hit a boss with the loot that I just got from that boss we got a problem lol.

Insisting that US/EU servers aren't pushing content ? I have played on both sides of the spectrum (Malboro US) (Tonberry JP) and I have yet to see a SCH prefer SS over Crit Or DET.


And it's not being ''pigeonholed'' on to one set.Simply why weren't the coil gear given the stats rather than the WoD, now I'm being ''pigeonhold'' into converting to Demon gear rather than Dreadwyrm see where I'm going with this. Demon Belt is massively better than the Poetics Belt for SCHs seeing as the Det offsets the Mind loss and I'd take +20 crit over a sub 5 VIT loss any day......Dreadwyrm Tonban gets trumped by -11 Crit for the Demon Skirt with the +22 DET offsetting any MND loss.

And it was just a statement as in why is some of the WoD secondary stats better than the Dreadwyrm when one its i130 and two the means of acquiring it are scaled.

In all we're still all aiming at the same gearset due to what we deem ''BiS'' that has been popularized.

When did I ever say that US/EU wasn't pushing content? Please show me the exact words I typed which clearly stated this.

Now... to actually work on what you've said.

First, you used SCH as an example to show that Japan isn't preferring Spell Speed? You're going to have to try again. SCH is one of the very rare jobs where a secondary stat exists that is so far above and beyond the others in effectiveness that you're actually stupid if you don't stack it. That stat is, of course, Crit. This situation is rare among the jobs. A case could be made for Crit on Bard, but the presence of Internal Release and Straight Shot reduce the need to stack the stat to have good Crit rates, which makes Crit less godly. We could reference Spell Speed for Summoners as something that should actually be avoided, though. Japan is as upset at SMN gear as we are this tier. If you try to argue Det for literally every unmentioned job, it is worth noting that the higher weight of Det in regards to the number of secondary stats on a piece of gear means that every point of Det is approximately 0.45(give or take 0.01 or so ) points of another stat that you don't get on that piece. Although Det usually ends up being number one despite this, avoiding Det usually ends up being quite close to stacking it simply because you get so many points of the other stats as a result of avoiding Det.

Furthermore, you're exclusively using a healer class to provide these arguments and using the stats in relation to added healing potency to justify lowering your item level. This is strange because optimizing secondary stats for healing potency is meaningless. The base potency of healing spells is so high that main stats alone will push your heals far and above what they actually need to be hitting for in a given fight. Thus, there is really only one reason a SCH should want one piece over another: more Crit. Losing a little bit of MND won't kill you; it'll be VIT caps that stop you, not your heals being too weak.

It's probably best to not think of Accuracy as a secondary stat. It's very much a primary stat, because having too little of it actually renders you unable to complete content. I consider Piety to be in the same vein, especially for White Mages, but Scholars shouldn't ignore it entirely either.

I know this refer to my last post.

and It seemed like you were insisting that JP servers were pushing content and US wasn't , I mean that's what I drew from the statement obviously I interpreted wrong.

Congrats on the loot drop! I ran WOD a few times this week but couldn't get the chest to drop at all. Saw the tank body drop and finally caved in to it in the end. Shall continue my WOD bard chest search next week :P

The kirimu chest was great for progression though in 2.4 and the accuracy it provided gave us a lot of gearing options early on. To meet the accuracy requirements (535) in t13 w WOD chest, you're still gonna need the dread gloves + dread belt (both from t10).

My ACC is 545 and I haven't even cleared T10 yet... I don't thinK I'll be fond of any dreadwyrm right-side...
