Which weapon as sch ?

[lucioe]

Hello guys. I am progressing turn 2 with my sch and I would like to know if you consider upgrading my t5 book with animus or turn 7 weapon token. I got 547 crit atm. Is too much? Should I increase it more?

I hear people continue using T5 book until the T9 book.

There is no such a thing as too much crit on a SCH. Increase it as much as possible (though you will realistically only have 538 crit without food at full i110 BiS with the HA Grimoire). I recommend sticking to the Allagan Grimoire for now, because unless you unweather the Book of Diamonds, it is absolutely shitty (PIE + SPSP). Animus is an investment and is never bad to get - the +1 magic damage on it and the DET are nice too over the Allagan Grimoire, but you can do just fine with your i95 book even in T9.

So IMO, work on your Animus in your downtime from raiding and use your i95 book otherwise.

ok. Atm got 547 crit so i will try to max it always. Thx for tips.

Like everyone else said, I'd go with the Allagan weapon, and then the High Allagan weapon if you're able to do that. In the mean time if it takes a bit to find a group for T5, I'd get the Zenith. If you have another class you play a lot, and if the relic is BiS (or just not crap) for them, I'd get the Atma/Animus for them instead.

Imo, don't focus on crit too much during this content patch. There really isn't that much of it for it to make a huge difference in your overall performance. Building a crit based BiS list w/ i115 weapon will only yield 19.05% crit (credit to http://valk.dancing-mad.com/calculat...ng-calculator/ for the equation) which, isn't THAT great of a number to ignore other secondaries you could have. Spell speed is still mediocre, but you'd be surprised at how much of a difference adding a little extra PIE can do for your efficiency. More mana = more adlos. This is just my opinion, but I'm not gonna bother with going out of my way for crit until I can get up to 30%. Which prob wont be until Coil 3.

Seeing as how I kinda went off topic, I'll say that I've been using the 95 Allagan book throughout this whole tier and I'm just waiting on the HA book to drop. But If you can get your hands on Animus/tidal wave/Diamonds, go for it. The MND increase alone is worth it.

I feel that every option for Scholar books in between Allagan and High Allagan is just...meh. If you just REALLY want to do something to feel like you're progressing on that slot while working towards HA book, I'd recommend going for Animus. Mostly because the 'customization' for the relic weapons is supposed to begin with the Novus upgrade next patch. I have no idea how exactly it will be executed, but for now I'm heavily banking on the possibility that I'll be able to put crit on it. Yeah, I could be severely disappointed, but after dumping 3390 soldiery tomes on SCH gear, I'd rather spend my next 1300 gearing out an alt-job than getting a weapon that doesn't truly excite me.

On Turn 7 after after the range get hit with fireball I always cast an Aldo on them jsut in cast they run into each other. I did this the whole fight and I had about half my mana left.

I stick with animus until High Allagan (dreamy!!)
I love crit but I think my raw heals are better with Animus than Allagan
