I have seen that. there is only a 21 difference between the two. as i said and as most ppl say. It goes main stat>WD> insert off stat. Since enough det will equal WD and the crafters have spoken on this subject. WD>off stat. It does make sense that det is the better stat even with its nerf. Reading through all these forums and blogs does make things very confusing. I am not saying crit is not good at all. personally i would get crit to at least 600ish and the rest det for constant numbers. At least this is the understanding i have sicne 2.0 till now.

Bleh.

Do you even understand stat weights?

Because I don't. Well I understand it enough to tell you that it doesn't work the way you think it does.

Basically every point of Weapon Damage = 10.714 STR.

Every point of Det = .139 STR

Every point of Crit = .160 STR

Every point of SS = .116 STR

This simply means that on average every point of crit will influence your damage more than Crit. The way stat weights are calculated is based off of a simulation and expresses how each stat effects your overall dps relative to your main stat.

So yes, Crit is by far the better stat for MNK. Point for point it reigns supreme and it often comes in a larger quantity than Det.


Considering that SS comes in a larger quantity (Typically) it may be better than det as well, but that would impose clipping/TP problems.

How recent are these stat weighs? If they are before 3.0, they don't include the buffs and nerf of the stats. If they are after, Dervy wouldn't be able to get accurate numbers at lvl 60 because we don't have gear of the same ilvl yet. It will be a month or 2 until people start getting multiple i210 pieces to test properly.

This was my thought as well Zcrash. Those stats are 3.0 and on though. I do not doubt Dervy and his math skills at all, the only thing i doubt is the proper testing when people have the gear. I am beyond great full for someone and others like Dervy that try their best to help out the community. I can not wait for more people to get higher item levels so we get a better round about number for these stats.
