Critical hit! Direct hit!

[RyuDragnier]

The rest is worthless!

Direct Hit IMO is worthless on Tanks/Healers because you're only getting around a 12% shot of doing it at most. That's too low to be reliable. Determination would be a better stat to invest in for them since it increases the low point of damage/healing the more you invest in it. The healing part of that is mandatory for all healers, since one less (o)GCD to use for healing is another attack spell cast. Tanks...you have the aggro, you're always going to be hitting it, DET is more important.

DPS, Direct Hit shares importance with Determination, though I believe DET is more important for BRD/MCH/DNC considering you're always hitting the enemy unless it becomes untargetable.

For tanks, probably, but only because of the fact there's little room for it after SkS tiers and putting crit into every other possible slot.
For healers after crit and comfortable piety, ask yourself this - what do the majority of healer's GCDs go towards? Determination scales like complete crap to the point that 12% DH is probably worth much more than any Det you could meld for.

In fact Det is just a horrible stat can we not talk about melding it pls you'll give me vietnam flashbacks.

Tanks should always meld at least a little bit of direct hit, even a 1% chance of doing 1.25x damage is miles better than a 0 percent chance. Also 12% is a respectable amount and given that it stacks with crit means the damage potential is much better than det. Unless youre seriously worried about dying (ultimate prog) then you should just meld crit direct on tanks, regular savage doesnt justify tenacity, so the stats that give you the most damage are king

This is incorrect. Mathematically, melding Critical Hit and then Direct Hit is better for all three physical ranged. I don’t even think the physical ranged had Determination melds in Stormblood, and very rarely was Determination melded after Accuracy and Critical Hit in HW... I believe in Creator, Skill Speed was melded on BRD before Determination was in BiS sets.

Determination scales terribly compared to Critical Hit and Direct Hit.
