White Mage Gear - Stats

[fraeblood]

Do ya know why there is a constant debate over this? It is because there is no BIS. It is all about personal preference along with fitting your groups needs. I know people who swear for one or the other don't wanna hear this, and I know you just love to hate on and boast about how your stat is best, and yes it is.... for you. The other guy is also correct in saying his stat is best..... for him/her.

It is a good and bad thing that the game doesn't rely so much on 2nd stats for WHM right now. It is nice because you can take a balance of them and work them into your gear as you see the need for them for your static. It is bad because some if not most players rely on having a BIS list to think for them so they can have the best thoughtput. ANd in most MMOs there is a clear cut BIS, but then again not always at launch. In all honesty, in the end there is no BIS. Some fights may call for some more DET, some have more of a use for SS, and all of it depends on the skill level of you and your group.

This is why these threads keep popping up, and will keep doing so as new players start playing and find that it is sometimes hard to tell which stat helps the most. It is becuase none of them honestly outshine the others to the point of an obvious choice. Gear yourself as your group and your play style needs and you will be fine.

Also having multiple sets is a very good idea too as in some fights you will find SS is useful, but on others it isn't needed as much so some extra DET is handy. So don't be shy to put multiple sets together as well.

I don't even think it's a play style thing. There's just no real impact with the tertiary stats.

Give me a full det or ss i90 set and as long as they've got basically the same pie and mind I doubt I'd have to do a thing differently between them.
Crit is a bit of a different beasty. But it'd mostly just be praying CureIII doesn't crit everyone for massive agro?
