Warrior Novus advice

[ArdorGrey]

Hey all I'm currently undertaking the monetarily trying task of fusing a Novus scroll. I have a few concerns:

1: I'm beginning to push into the EX fights and will be getting into coil soon, where accuracy is very important.

2: I generally ascribe to the school of thought that WAR should embrace DET for its double healing qualities at the expense of parry, and that crit can be pretty swank as well.

3: I'm one of the top contenders for aggro generation/ main tanking hunts on my server. I know it sounds silly but I really like beating out everyone else on aggro gen and would ideally like to have a novas weapon that contributes to putting me on top in this endeavor.

4: On the other hand, savage might IV and to a lesser extent savage aim IV is extremely expensive on my server(600-1000k depending on ebb and flow), and while being patient with this will help me have a "stronger" relic in the long run, I've read that a few points of crit and det only make a minimal impact on overall performance, and the longer I sit on this step of the relic the further I fall behind the competitive edge.... plus I'm just getting sick of being ilvl 100 on my weapon.

So I'm kinda torn and would like advice from the more experienced players on the board as to whether something like a 26/25/24 det/crit/acc novas is still pretty good, and if anyone knows the breakpoints for the stat boosts on nexus that would be great too. I *might* go as high as 30 on det but with my luck no way am I going to sink millions into that 31st point. Would something like 20 acc still be worthwhile for letting me forsake acc on other pieces? Should I get even more acc and sacrifice crit? I already have some crit on the scroll so realistically I don't see me dropping crit below 20ish for more acc unless a few more points will make a significant difference when it comes to swapping other pieces.

TL;DR: WAT STATS FOR NOVUS!!??

Thank you for any feedback!

Any mix of ACC/DET/Crit works fine. I would spend gil in this order, Det, acc then crit.

Basically what sirtaint said, I would go Det then Crit until you are close or capped the tier 3. At this point decide if you need acc, which you shouldn't since the poetics gear give so much and either continue with the det/crit or go det/crit/acc. You won't break the bank with the det/crit/acc and its a decent balance. If you want parry get the HA axe.

If you don't put acc on your weapon, you don't expect to use it in coil.

I do, but I've only been playing a few months and haven't cleared T9 yet. I figure I'll probably have a lot of Ironworks gear before hitting final coil at this rate, my group is pretty fixated on clearing all the ex primals atm, and as marx mentioned poetics gear has a lot of acc. I've also read warriors feeling like they have an excess of acc. But I do think I'll get some. I have 25 det right now and will try to get a few more at least. I might go for an even split of crit and acc reading this though. thanks everyone!

There is accuracy everywhere, don't listen to people who wasted their relic by putting accuracy on it. Personal I did DET/CRIT on my warrior and paladin relics but since that can be pricey you could put parry into it.

Tell that to my raid WAR he has to eat Acc food for t12 and has 22acc on his nexus.

Hi, you're wrong. It's 558 to cap, and I'm at 556 with steamed catfish.

Putting det/crit IVs on there was just too expensive for me. I went 23/33/19 det/crit/acc. That's until you get to IVs for both then acc for the rest.
You can't really go wrong with accuracy as it gives you more flexibility. Skillspeed is also something that is somewhat useful for Wars especially if you get to 421.

But also: Det only helps healing in that you do more damage so your self-heals are a bit stronger. It does not make other's healing spells hit your harder.
