Am I missing something about Novus?

Weapon Damage / Weapon Magic Damage Trumps everything else when it come to BiS. Secondary stats are essentially useless when choosing two weapons that aren't at equal strength in Magic Damage/ Damage.

Yep. Exactly what I'm saying. For BLM - spending 10M as opposed to 300k is going to boost your dmg by a mere 1 to 2 dps (where blms are dealing 400+dps). The difference is completely immaterial. Who is to say you won't be able to boost the stats you neglected in a future update? Nobody really knows how it works...but it won't be the end of the world if you fall behind 1-2 dps this round. There's no way your decision on the novus can impact you more than it currently does in the future.
