Materia Question

[DarkmoonVael]

Darkmoon as much as i love you a lot ! (I mean hello sexy hyur !)
I will disagree a bit !

Accuracy if you want but not a force stat, i mean it is frustrating to miss but our DPS is secondary
Crit is a go to since it boost shield.
And the hell is this holy nerf on deter, there is no such thing (except on auto attack but it's not the 80 dmg we do that will change a lot)
The deter did not change for skill.

Piety is good for a whm because they are mana burner, but running out of MP as diurnal AST ? Never XD
Spellspeed is good on whm but again on diurnal it's less and less powerful (except HoT)
I agree for deter and crit
Deter might be the best for a constant high heal, while crit help sometime to save up mana

...

While I choose not to take the accuracy path
It's a legit way
Because wiping at 1% because you missed some spell could be frustrating (and i did)

Strange you should call me sexy hyur whilst i seem to be sporting a picture of Lady Ysayle (brb off to fight ravana one on one then blow up the garleans). (This is going to be the april fools thing isnt it?).

Anyway as for Det i am under the impression that it got nerfed on 2 fronts: direct nerf on auto attacks, and scaling made worse for spells and abilities? Maybe....

As for SCH and accuracy, yep i am dogmatic when it comes to this and raiding. Its accuracy accuracy accuracy. My SCH and N.AST set is currently at A8S accuracy cap. Also i put ACC=CRIT>>>>>>>>>>>>anything else on SCH.

Piety on WHM also scales with assize which make it an attractive stat to go for. But, with Diurnal AST, as main healer in raids, the MP recovery is enough, but it is no where near SCH levels of comfort. You can find yourself lower than you want to be in MP on D.AST in savage whilst learning. A6S can be taxing on the main healers MP pool. Bit this also depends on wether you combine LA with CO to extend it by 5 secs.

They did nerf DET scaling but to compensate for that they made the Determination T5 have a higher number than if they did the scale from T3 to T4 to T5 based on AAR.

T1 DET = +1
T2 DET = +3
T3 DET = +4
T4 DET = +6
T5 DET = +12 (which matches Crit, Accuracy, SkS, and SpS)

To put that into perspective:

T1 Crit = +2
T2 Crit = +4
T3 Crit = +6
T4 Crit = +9
T5 DET = +12

You can verify this one Ariyala's gear calculator if you're curious

P.S.

Need more Crit to crush Garlean battleships faster.

I get the impression that it means you really need to meld Det V, as any other would really have sub optimal returns .

They could have at least fixed the tier I-IV materia to reflect the current usage. Sigh.
