How are you handling your Novus upgrade?

[Viviza]

Now that the patch notes are up, I'm wondering how all our healers here are intending to upgrade their animus weapons.

It looks like we can pick the two five secondary stats we want to increase... but then we're bound to that choice until a future patch.

Personally, for the WHM animus, I'm leaning towards DET/PIE/Crit.

As SCH I am looking at Crit/DET or Crit/PIE still undecided

I'm stuck with the exact same dilemma. I'm leaning more towards Crit/Det at this time as I'm pretty sure Det will actually boost fairy heals, but more PIE is always nice too.
High Allagan Book is Crit/PIE, so maybe that would be a good choice for Novus just so you won't really notice much of a change in secondary stats when you upgrade

I've actually been leaning towards PIE/DET and spell speed if I can add a bit more I've thought about Crit but in my honest opinion I don't find Crit as useful on my WHM.

Full DET vs Full SS. It's either big heals or faster heals. Bigger heals=less over all healing=less MP usage. As a WHM its always better to have an abundance of MP especially in the situations where we might need to heal/raise a lot since its harder for us to regain resources and you can't always rely on Mage's Ballad since it cuts bards DPS, ~10% while its up, and sometimes you don't have one in the party.

SS is a stat that will only make a real difference in an abundance. ~25 SS=~0.03 sec. decrease. While arguably PIE doesn't make much a difference either, 33 PIE=~350 MP, still an extra Medica.

When possible I throw Aero(II) and even Holy to help DPS when there's downtime
More ACC=less misses


TLDR:
I want to be able to have big heals, extra MP in my pockets and DPS capability.

These are only the reasons to my stat priorities. WHM stats are debatable and their importance are determined by the players preferences and play style. If you plan on putting the time into the Relic quest line you should figure out what yours are.

Note:
CRIT isn't generally a favorable stat for WHM since we already have large/strong heals. Over healing from frequent crits can cause dangerous enmity spikes. (1 dmg = 1 enmity, 1 hp heal = 0.5 enmity) While you can combat this with Shroud you fall into the possibility of wasting it when you need it later for MP regain while its still on cooldown.

I'll be doing Det/Pie as a WHM when I finally get there 1/9 on the books so far.

I'd go Det/Crit for SCH but I don't even have that atma yet (or plan to since T5 book is good for now).

[Moqi]

I am stilli missing two atmas but I will probably go with Det/spell speed. I don't think I need more piety, not for the content I am doing at least.

[Lyrinn]

Crit/PIE will be fun on SCH. Adloquiums all day, every day.

[Grotesque]

Det/Pie you can have with Coil7+8 as whm.
