Bravura Novus

[Barboron]

I am thinking 31DET, 24Parry, 20ACC. Or perhaps 29PAR and 15ACC.

I know people are already hitting their ACC cap for coil 2 without acc on the weapon. However, I am trying to be prepared to the next stage of coil or whatever may come next. With the soldiery gear, some pieces replaced the entire acc in one piece of equipment for a mere 1 point increase in parry, or the other way around. With ACC requirements no doubt increasing at some stage, should I have to sacrifice a piece of gear for one with parry, at least my weapon makes up for it. Lastly, once we go to the Zodiac stage, the acc will scale up, I am hoping, with the weapon.

You can't get 75 full points if you have 31 DET. DET is weighed more heavily than the other stats so that 31 is going to count as your 44. If you want 31 DET, you're only going to get 16 and 15 on parry/acc.

And that is entirely incorrect because stat weights don't mean anything when infusing. Every +1 is just a plain old 1/75 regardless of stat weights.

I'm referring to the end stats. To get 31 points of DET on your Bravura Novus, you're only going to have 31 points for your other secondary stats. If you want to use 31 of your infusions on Determination, you're only going to get 22 DET on your final weapon. If the devs were dumb enough to actually allow DET *not* scale, there would be no reason to have any other stat taking up your 44 because it's worth so much more on a point for point basis.

False, there is no scaling with novus.

It doesn't work like that. 31 infusions = 31 det. Same goes for piety. Novus doesn't take into account stat weights.

Someone has already completed a 44crit/31det novus bow. It's somewhere toward the end of the big novus thread in the general forums. EDIT: someone beat me to it above.

But realistically, you probably should have already seen this coming. *If* they were going to weight the resultant stats, then det would cap at 44 infusions and get scaled back to 31. They would not have capped the infusions at 31 and then applied the stat weight penalty too.

EDIT: nvm on materia tiers, I read the initial quote wrong.

Anyhow, I'm probably going to go the cheap route and do a relatively equal split between parry, accuracy and det.

I'm going 44 Parry and 31 Accuracy for mine.

Just having accuracy on my Weapon will help expand the rest of my gear choices beyond just the pieces that have enough accuracy to meet the cap, as a lot of those have pointless other secondary stats like Skill Speed.

Yes, I know High Allagan has both Parry and Accuracy, but for some of us who won't be reaching Turn 9 for a while due to only raiding once a week (currently on Turn 7 to about 50%), it'll probably be a good alternative. Also, I'm down at 5th in our team's list to receive the Unidentified Tomestone, so the Weathered Conqueror (let alone the restored Conqueror) is a ways off too.
