Connecting the DoTs: A Summoner Guide

I'd personally go Accuracy (if needed) > Crit > Spellspeed. The later only works for the amount of Ruin IIIs you can fit into one Dreadwyrm Trance, so I dunno if there's gonna be a soft cap for it or not. People need to do some maths on that I guess.

Then again, I'm a philistine ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don't think you will need Accuracy. The gear is already overloaded with it. In terms of Spellspeed, you can get a pretty meaty side of SS just from gear alone. To get an extra Ruin III, you will need likely over 900 to 1k+ and that won't be worth the exchange from possible Crit and Det, unless at least with Crit, there's some sort of softcap.

Crit > Det melds will almost undoubtedly be the best on every piece.

If it gets your recast under 2.35s naturally, an arrow (maybe selene, have not tested), will get you into 4xr3 territory.

I'm still so confused with these stats :/ everybody says CRIT > DET, but then someone comes and says I like DET more because of more linear scaling or smth. I see the same with people's gear in game. Particularly saw two SMNs who mostly differed in how they allocated their materia on these two.
First one had:
CRIT: 794+440 (1234)
DET: 610+392 (1002)

Second one had:
CRIT: 725+371 (1096)
DET: 664+446 (1110)

What's the rationale behind it? Is one better than the other? The second one balances CRIT and DET, while the first one seems to invest mostly in CRIT and little in DET. Why bother putting into DET in the first setup, and not just even more into CRIT?
