AST Anima stat allocation

[technole]

MariaNyan has the right idea about Spell Speed, many distractors from the stat just assume things by the numbers and don't even know the first-hand benefits it can provide even in end-game progression.

It's totally a good heal and dps stat. Like being able to squeeze another skill out that maybe you were not planning to in the middle of tight mechanics. You might have to react on-the-fly to a raise and getting that protect/heal top-off before moving for mechanics again, maybe you have to hard cast it. I have credited knowing how much SS I have of being able to get away with saving someone without an instant and dodging mechanics at the same time. Additional HoT potency with the stat is no slouch since that is the bread-and-butter of the main healer jobs, and helping your DPS when you are in cleric stance (Combust II is the highest potency single DoT of all the healers), and our DoTs are no joke when it comes to damage. The best healers are always be casting something practically each GCD, whether its DPS or healing so you will be getting SS benefit each cast. Don't let anyone tell you it's a horrible stat for a main healer.

DET is a flat boost on every healing skill, but you need to almost twice as more as you did in ARR to get the same benefit. For a main healer, it's SS and/or DET.
