There are few reasons people are going for Novus:

1. Super glowy weapon Yay!
2. It's slated to be even further upgradable later.
3. Some people don't raid or can't get past Turn 8, so the Novus is their most viable option for an i110 weapon.
4. The importance of secondary stats may be being overestimated.

The third reason will of course change as more sources of Sands of Time are released, but it's valid right now.
