I'm currently running http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/NJ9S
Which allows me:
- under Apkallu: 559 mnd, 535 crit, 460 accu, 371 pie, 269 det
- under lavatoad: 520 crit, 473 accu

This level of pie is comfortable and I want to, at the minimum, maintain 451 accuracy for T7. T9 will be less reliant on healer dps once our dd start getting their upgrades, and so that's a flexible point (although Savage coil may prove it necessary again).


Weapon damage is king; I think this is universally accepted.
However, because Novus is the only source of fat accuracy for a healer which allows us to minimally gimp ourselves to hit cap, removing the 44 accuracy with the gain of the HA book is also removing a ton of mainstat & det through the introduction of additional i90 parts, if we want to maintain that accuracy.

The least wasteful path for HA looks to be this: http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/NJAE
- under Apkallu: 551 mnd, 451 accu, 604 crit, 244 det, 394 pie
- under lavatoad: 465 accu, 588 crit (no longer capping t9)
Some of the det loss can be mitigated by overmelding detIVs instead of vitIVs, but I wanted to future proof for Savage coil, and am not particularly interested in the cost associated with CritIV, DetIV, DetIV, AccuIV, AccuIII overmelds, when tcob is relatively not that far away.

The extra pie feels like wasted stats as I've no mana issues with my current amount.

So, with all that said & done, is the 2 wdmg gain still worthwhile when it's associated with a loss of 8 mnd + 25 det?

I'm of the opinion that because raw healing output isn't as relied upon in scob (i was i88 when we first cleared T7 for example), upgrading to HA book may be crippling myself for a very slight healing increase after the 8+25 is factored in. But I'd like to hear your thoughts on it too.
