Same thing i wrote out on paper last night! Whatever avoids sps the most right? Lol.

so I'm not at the point where it matters, but just for the record, we are avoiding Spell Speed like the plague?

we want Crit ->Direct Hit, right? seemed to be the way that made sense to me at first glance

If we truly want to avoid the most SS, you could swap out the necklace and hat for Genji. I haven't seen any stat weights so I don't know if the DH on the Lost Allagan outweighs the Crit/Det on the Genji, though.

If this sheet is right, then I think we should meld Crit over DH:

So....Savage is out and i got a few questions for you =D

First of all, what kind of build are you going for?
up till now i maxed on DH and am running around with 2000 DH but with the new gear i can't reach that high, the highest i found for DH would be this:
http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/11LVT
this should give us a ~40% chance on DH and roughly ~17,4% chance on Crit

but im actually thinking of going full crit, since the gear seems to hold a lot of crit, which would be this one:
http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/11LVJ
with the we have only ~31% chance on DH but then again ~21% chance on Crit, and a little more DET XD

Which one are guys going for?

Next question....when are you ppl using Embolden? I'm using it right after Enchanted Zwerchau so that my 2 highest Potency hits get full bonus. Haven't aligend it with my Static to max out raid dps but still wonder if its placed there best or somewhere else.

And last one, Pot Usage xD
The new INfusion Pot's hold for a freaking 30s. I have noticed that if I have Manafication and Embolden up + full Mana its really nice to use after Enchanted Riposte since the pot will last for 2 melee combo's + finisher. But that can't be optimal for opener to hold your Manafication so long. For the opener im going like this right now (using optimal procs):
precast Veraero>Verthunder>Pot>Verfire>Verthunder>Fleche+Contre Six>Verstone>Veraero>Displacement+CaC>Verstone>verthunder(for difference)>Manafication> E.Riposte>E.Zwerchau>Embolden>E.Redoublement>Displacement>Verholy>CaC>using procs/oGCD till mana full like allways

When are you guys using the Pot? :3
Similar place or later? ^^

Weapon first for sure, though i really wish and want gear, lol
I may go for belt or boots before chest though

You can buy something before the weapon and still have enough when you acquire your 7th token.

Here's my buying plan so far.

450 - 0 (nothing): 450 3 tokens
900 - 825 (chest): 75 4 tokens
525 - 0 (nothing): 525 5 tokens
975 - 0 (nothing): 975 6 tokens
1425 - 1000 (weapon): 425 7 tokens
875 - 825 (pants): 50
500 - 375 (belt): 125
