[Newbie] AST stat priority and Meld questions

[Cynfael]

I was replying to Cynfael. I was essentially saying that SS is better than Det. Crit will always be king.

I respect your opinion, I just disagree because I see SpS as being useful only for DoTs and HoTs while DET at least affects the potency of all spells. ACC and CRT are my primary choices, the latter specifically for SCH and AST shielding.

P.S. Are we sure that Shadowflare benefits from SpS? Seems like it could go either way as a persistent area damage.
