Novus weapon upgrade system findings

[Hik0]

Does anyone think it a good ideas to Put Crit + Det on Novus Curtana, then Parry + Accuracy on Novus Holy Shield?

imo its a bad idea,
split 4stats on both so it match a crit/det curtana + parry/acc shield and save thousand K gils since you didnt use any tierIV mat.

As stated on the past few pages secondaries won't make or break any weapon.

Tanks can always use Acc and parry is the defensive secondary.

My DPS is very poor in coil2 when on PLD so I'm just going with Acc and parry myself. The 31 Acc will allow offensive swaps like noct head over HA.

If I ever get around to bravura novus I'll be going crit/det or Acc/det.

Precisely, which is why the weapon is theoretically the best place to put any secondaries that don't really affect Damage, such as Accuracy, Parry, and Piety

Hi All,

Great thread and thanks for everyone's contributions. Very helpful information.

@ SirTaint: If I may ask, why would you add Crit & Determination on the Bravura, over Parry & Accuracy? Are WAR's Accuracy capped naturally from High Allagan?

For Healer weapons (SCH and WHM), what are the recommended "ideal" add-ons and why? (haven't been keeping up with Healer in a while.)

Thanks!

Yes and I was following you line of sarcasm....

Unfortunately, text is bad at conveying sarcasm, so I was just operating under the assumption that you were being serious. Sorry.

So I was wondering if I should go full 44Crit/31Det or should I do like 30Crit/30Det/15ACC for MNK? Also wondering if I should do some ACC cause idk how cheap T4 materias are going to be, Been having really bad luck on Spirit Bonding ; ;.

Well, if you do something like 31 Crit/ 31 Det / 13 Accuracy, that 13 Accuracy is basically "free". 13 Crit adds little total damage, so that bit of Accuracy could be helpful if you need it.

I've also thought of the utterly blasphemous combination of 22 Crit / 31 Det / 22 SkS, because the weights of Crit and SkS are equal for Monk and they do all help out. Just as long as SkS doesn't get too high x.x

Ive been planning on doing the opposite for this, going 31 DET, 30 Acc & 14 Crit as i prefer to have acc over crit for higher ilvl content - not done T7-9 yet so i dont know what my acc would need to be at to consistently hit.

Cap for flank on t9 is 495, front is 515. You might want to aim for front since there will be times you need to attack from the front.
