    That mentality has lead to crappy DPS? No. Hardly. After doing massive and extensive testing with my Monk, the damage differences are literally 1-3 DPS at most, and based on RNG. And if secondaries mattered so much, people would use nothing but i110 crafted for the best DPS they can push out... And the DPS loss from having a lower main stat is much worse than having 'sub par' secondaries.

    On your Monk. SMN is not your Monk. Your main stat is more important on other classes PARTICULARLY MNK, DRG, BLM.

    SMN is a different ball game and DET has a huge effect on the damage. In general, most of the "upgrades" in this gear season, are all actually nerfs to SMNs sans for probably 2-3 gears which are essentially direct upgrades with similar stats from previous available gear. It's truly a case of how can you progress while not killing your damage.
