Thread: New 2.1 Healer Weapons!

Piety and spell speed for SCH weapon!! Yay!!!

....seriously, Piety and spell speed? Piety because obviously scholars are not experts in recovering MP.

Ok sarcasm over. I'd like to get some insight as to how SE makes these stat allocation decisions? Do they actually put thought into it or do they just 1) randomly choose stats or 2) ask the HR department for their input.

That iLvl 90 book and cane look terrible stat wise. Why would a whm need crit? Why would SCH use spell speed over crit?

Also those stat upgrades on the allagan weapons. I guess it would be nice for the extra vit and mnd

I am so lazy to do a search so can anyone tell me if +1ing my Omnilex was the right call to make?

I'm confused by this...

Direwolf Grimoire while actually being a pvp item seems to be the better ilv90 choice even though it only has 3 stats instead of 4 (outside of pvp). that crit looks just too sexy compared to spell speed and pie (and even determination)

The Allagan Book remaining BiS was kind of expected. At the moment it seems as if getting the Cognitome is a way to get an i90 weapon without spending myth which is why it would be appealing to some people, myself included. Reasoning for stat allocations

Cognitome - i90 weapon, lackluster secondary stats.
Omnilex +1 - i90 weapon, better secondary stats (900 myth to acquire)
Allagan - i95, BiS need to clear T5 and be lucky it drops.

At the moment, I've cleared T5 with just the SCH relic as I was hoping that I could get the Allagan book instead of spending 900 myth. Either way, the Cognitome will be an upgrade compared to the i80 Relic.

As of 2.1? No, clearly there's plenty of options.

This!! Did they mix up the stats for Scholar & White Mage!? I'm shocked and well aside the fact that the face on the book is nasty looking I now have no reason to bother with it. Guess I'll go get my relic to ZENITH after all (I was holding out for these weapons...)

On the up side, at least the Moogle book gives crit making it basically the best scholar weapon to use for everything except running Bahamut's Coil.
