    Also @ckc22 the gordian legs have 94 crit on them and wil be bis, so if you recommend buying order I would consider that.
    First off wd is estimated at close to 10 of a primary stat so the weapon is almost double the chest piece.

    Second I included a qualifier that said assuming no alex gear - obviously obtaining BiS by mixing and matching with savage gear will change things up a bit but it's too individualized to fit in the context of what my post was trying to get at.

    My mistake, I did not see the part about no savage drops. And I did not hear that wd was being estimated at close to ten. Between that and what ss I am curious to find out more about our stat weights.

    That's based off of the DRG estimate. BLM/SMN and WHM/AST/SCH have a much lower weapon weight, because we don't derive damage from our autoattacks in the way that physical classes do. This, in turn, drives the value of secondary stats up, which is why we're having this discussion.
