[Newbie] AST stat priority and Meld questions

[Judge_Xero]

I do appreciate that he makes the distinction between full DPS uptime and not. I can't say I would want to stack SS purposefully considering that real gameplay doesn't usually allow for long stretches of non-stop DPS totally uninterrupted by healing and shielding, but it's good to see the situational/hypothetical value.

One thing to consider even on SCH when looking into high amounts of SS is that you will need to compensate with Piety to sustain MP. This means taking Piety over other secondary stats.

Stacking CRT I've been able to comfortably Raid with 12k MP @ 600-700 SS. Hitting 1k SS required a buffer of about 13.5k MP which is a loss of almost 200 Secondaries to Piety.

That MP number is actually pretty close to what I'm comfortable with on SCH. Around 680 Piety. SCH got a mana nerf with the introduction of broil.
