I never really bothered with relic previously because Book of Spades had ideal stats on it, and I didn't find it worth it to spend the time and gil on it for such a minor increase. I also got the HA book before nexus. The ironworks SMN book is awful though, and I almost see it as a waste of tomes. True the WD is most important, but I'm giving everyone else priority on tome because of how bad it is. I decided to start on nexus, hoping the next upgrade(s) will put it at i130. Question is, I don't want to spend THAT much gil on it, and was considering piety. A crit/det/pie novus would be an upgrade over the lolspellspeed on the HA book, and SMN has stupid MP issues in FCoB. What are the general thoughts on piety on a SMN novus?
