SCH AF2 gear

[DarkmoonVael]

Mix and match with Gordian for SCH BiS you get to 800 crit rating on your SCH. Its the way BiS has always worked .

Also bare in mind the WHM dont really want all that crit on their gear, so its not just SCH AF2 thats suboptimal on stats.

That has been the case indeed. But it doesn't deter from the fact that your job gear is somewhat less desirable. (or being complete garbage...)

Looking at the previous ilvl 90 SCH gear:

Weapon
Determination 18
Spell Speed 37

Mortarboard
Piety 11
Determination 15

Gown
Critical Hit Rate 24
Piety 26

Gloves
Spell Speed 15
Piety 16

Culottes
Critical Hit Rate 24
Piety 26

Boots
Spell Speed 15
Piety 16

Total
Piety 95 (39.1% - 51% +11.9%)
Spell Speed 67 (27.6% - 21.7% -5.9%)
Determination 33 (13.6% - 16.7% +3.1%)
Critical Hit Rate 48 (19.8% - 10.6% -9.2%) first number being ilvl90 gear; second, current AF2 gear.

So, what happened is a massive boost in Piety and an equally heavy loss in Critical Hit Rate, moderate loss in Spell Speed and a slight increase in Determination. (yay! ._.)

I guess they want to make us use Dissipation that badly. Faerie doesn't benefit from Piety or Spell Speed. It just seems to me like someone misplaced these attributes on SCH's and WHM's gear.

Also people are kind of freaking out but secondary stats are very meh - at that 800 crit you get like a ~15 % rate. If you had 800 crit in the 2.xx formula that would have been like a 35% crit chance. For comparison 650 crit gives you ~12% rate. This is why when I see sch wearing things that are 10-20 ilvls behind just for crit I facepalm a little bit. You'd get more out of the significant amount of mind youre giving up.

Basically I don't think it's a really huge deal. Also I feel like SE randomly slaps stats onto stuff without as much thought as people give them credit for.

Yep you are absolutely right there . End of the day, what matter more is the persons skill combined with the cushion ilvl threshold can give you in content (ie more hp to survive things, more healing throughout from more mind).
