Basically whatever gets you closer to this

Yea that is the same BiS I have. More of the question was the gear I pick out -right now- and the following few weeks is going to bring my DET very low. Everything will fall in place -eventually-, but very low DET will be a thing for a while. How much will very low DET affect the process of getting to BiS is what I am trying to ask.

Not a whole lot since you are getting much more primary stats in return.

According to tests earlier in the thread, skill speed doesn't affect turrets at all. It doesn't provide a damage increase either like spell speed does for summoner pets.

Right....I'm the person who said that lol. Also, Spell Speed doesn't increase SMN pet damage, only frequency of attacks, which in turn increases their damage.

That's why I was mentioning, that SPD may be an increase for Turret frequency of attacks, but similar to SMN pets you may need a lot of SPD + test for a long duration to see any gains of note. (which I didn't do in my initial testing as I figured that the gains would be apparent with only a couple hundred SPD)
