    Based on those threads, det becomes superior to the other stats once you already have "Enough" of those stats. That said, according to those threads, yes, SS+Det is the better combination for Stardust Rod Novus. It would also be desirable for HA Staff to have det instead of crit, but we don't get a choice on that. lol

    Essentially, we already get so much crit easily from all our other gear, far more easily than we get det, to the point that crit becomes devalued so that since -can- choose what's on Novus, we can use that as an opportunity to grab some much needed Det.

    I would say SMN > DRG > BLM. I'm apparently unpopular in that I don't hold Leav at a high level :/ but honestly, go with whatever you feel you would enjoy most.

    Considering they are i110 weapons they are all good, so get the one for the class you want to play the most.
    When it comes to secondary stats the SMN weapon is the most desirable with det+crit. The DRG one is rather bad because it has speed as its big secondary stat, which is the least desirable stat for DRG.
    BLM is decent but if you dont need accuracy it might be a bad choice too.

    Weapon is only as good as the blm is, meaning a blm can have a nice weapon but if they dont know the blm class, well you get point.
    Like i said previously Novus is only much better if you have good stats added in and really Soldiery weapon is perfectly fine for current content, just look at the stats and certainly good enough to do 2nd coil.
    The 4 + months of atma grinding to get atma weapon got to me so i just went soldiery route.
    We cannot predict what sort of content and new weapons SE will add in future updates either, so Novus may be slightly better but who is to say other weapons may not take it's place.
