    SMN Veil of Wiyu Novus - Which stats would be BiS?

    So I have been saving up Alexandrite... but before I start using them, I want to know what folks in the community think is the best Novus build for SMN.

    To preface the discussion:

    - It has now been proven that you can have a 44 Crit, 31 Det. There is no scaling or weighing for this i110 weapon. (My two cents: I think this is likely the best build)

    - The soldiery gear for SMN has a distinct lack of good Acc choices. So getting accuracy to 470, 480, and so on... for Second Coil can be a bit of a pain. (My two cents: I personally use some i90 gear to give me the necessary Acc)

    - Let's not forget that Novus will likley continue to grow in future patches. New gear will also become available, so let's keep that in mind when talking about builds.

    For me I think det/crit would be best, that's what I plan on adding unless someone can really show acc would be better over one or the other

    For T6 and 7 yes. For 8 and 9 you need more, almost 490

    I don't understand. Tanks/melee went from 481 => 514 (attacking from front) and casters have to go from 435 => 490? Seems pretty inconsistent.

    EDIT: Oh, you're accounting for pet..again.

    Garuda-egi went from 450-491ish. SMN by itself is still 471.

    You need 492 as far as I recall. I might be a point or two off.

    As for putting accuracy on the book, I've found at least myself, if I were doing the book, I wouldn't need it. There's enough accuracy between the Soldiery Gear and Coil drops (assuming you get lucky) to get you to the right accuracy for all of second coil. I say DET/CRIT would be the way to go for sure. That's all assuming of course our accuracy doesn't get gutted when we have to get new gear again.
