How are you handling your Novus upgrade?

You say I'm wrong but then restate what I said earlier... albeit substantially more wordy. All that changes is the ratio... If 1 det = 1hp before a mind change, 1 det will still be 1 HP after a change in mind. The effect doesnt change. MND does not affect det.

You do realize you're comparing proportions and not effectiveness, right? (Note that by ur logic, an increase in det would decrease the effectiveness mind...) By ur logic, ss also reduces the effectiveness of mind. For example, say ur only stat is mind and you have 1000 hps, mind is 100%. Now you add enough ss to reduce ur average cast time by half. Ur hps is now 2000, mind is 50%... Ur just talking about the ratio, not the effectiveness....

Not to mention, this argument is off base. How often is mind increased w/o being able to increase secondary points as well? If you want to make an argument as being better b/c of total mind, you need to compare the same mind amount vs total allowable det and total allowable ss for the ilvl... You also cant make an argument about ilvl 9999 because it doesnt exist and you don't know the implications of other stats at the ilvl in the state the game will be in when ilvl 9999 would be available. You are "counting chickens before they hatch" as it were. And all of this is before taking the realistic impact of ss into the equation.
