    Summoner - Crit vs. Determination

    I've currently been doing a little research, and I haven't been able to find any solid information pertaining which of these stats should take priority after accuracy.

    My current gear setup is the following:

    Weapon: Allagan Grimoire of Casting
    Head: Summoner's Horn
    Body: Summoner's Doublet
    Hands: Summoner's Ringbands
    Waist: Allagan Rope Belt of Casting
    Legs: Summoner's Waistclout
    Feet: Allagan Boots of Casting
    Neck: Hero's Necklace of Casting
    Ears: Tremor Earrings of Casting
    Wrists: Hero's Braclet of Casting
    Rings: Vortext Ring of Casting / Hero's Ring of Casting

    I'm currently sitting at 458 accuracy without food buff, so I have a little wiggle room there.

    Also:
    Crit Rating = 531
    Determination = 279

    Any suggestions or information pertaining to this dilema would be very appreciated!

    DET is rumoured to be around 25% or 33% of the DET value worth to ur primary stats
    so, choose between 531 crit or around 30% ish RNG or a 25% - 33% boost to ur NON RNG primary damage modifier

    Det is slightly better for sustained damage, Crit has the potential to do more damage. The difference is pretty negligible (2~3 dps from Torin's calculations iirc) and you have to change most of your gear around for the Det build.

    Either's fine but you should go all into whatever you decide, and you're currently pretty strong on crit.

    This is the thread that you should be looking at. Quite a lot of information from T0rin and how he went about testing his theories.

    Though in two weeks time it will all change with the new gear.
