The Novus grind is getting easier...but the Animus...isn't...?

And bam! You've spent 300k on a crappy Weapon. Let aside that Acc for example is pointless on a DPS Novus, since you can reach the ACC cap for T9 with Gear alone.

Or you could swap out some of the acc armor/accessory pieces for something that will give you better damage and use your weapon to hit the acc cap.

Not all dps are the same, the only slots for blm that don't have an ilvl110 piece without acc are the rings, so you can be under 380 acc in full ilvl110 gear (470 cap T9)

Earrings: 13acc 13det vs 19crit 9det
Hands: 25acc 12det vs 25crit 18sps
Legs: 29acc 29det vs 41sps 29crit

Blm is different from other classes since we can get damage boosts from spell speed and piety as well as crit and det. You could probably make a solid weapon without using any T3 materia for BLM, and tailor the rest of your gear around your 50k crappy Weapon for potentially more damage than the "BiS build."

I'd say piety was the best investment for a BLM if you need any. Usually piety is subject to a weighting penalty on most gear. So you'll give up 9 crit (or whatever) to get 6 piety. Or worse, you change your stat allocation to include piety and are giving up INT on a 1:1 basis. The novus is special in that it allows you to trade off crit or spell speed for your needed piety at a 1:1 rate. You'll not get a better stat exchange on any other piece of gear.

That is, of course, if you need any.
