Warrior Novus advice

[SirTaint]

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.

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.

Aww, thanks for clearing that up. It's still considered a pretty valuable stat from what I understand due to having more weight per point than others though, is this correct?

I have det at 25 already and might get a few more on there. After reading some of the comments on acc I think I want at least 20 on there. 20 acc-25 crit-30 det would be really badass, but I will probably settle for 22/25/28. I could well afford to get crit up much higher, but worst case scenario that much acc will give me more flexibility on other pieces, which can let me weigh my setup with more det overall. And this way I can sell my crit IV's to fund more det.

All secondary stats are so weak that a few points here or there isn't going to make a difference you're going to notice. I wouldn't use any Tier IV materia unless you're rolling in $$, especially as a tank. Besides, after you've completed your novus you can change the stats around at any time if you later find that you have to have that extra few points in det or crit.

If you can afford it, max out DET. Spend the rest on a mix of CRIT/ACC, depending on your preference. I mean, what else are you going to spend your gil on anyways (housing, crafted accessories, i guess). I still think plopping down some extra dough to get to 31 DET is worth, considering you are already at 25.

I'm an oddball I suppose but my set up is:

ACC: 20
DET: 30
Parry: 25

I like to have some acc on my war because it allows me to move around some pieces in my gear since a lot of times it's luck getting the right pieces, thus the 20 acc allows me some breathing room. Det is great, more hate, more self heals (however small) and a tad bit more deeps. Only reason it isn't 31 is because of the gil. The oddball in me wishes to have parry. My logic, while I understand the other side, is mitigation is mitigation, and my goal is to have enough parry on where it seems as if I have Storms Path up at all times (10% reduction in dmg). Warriors have less cooldowns, so I don't mind the extra rng mitigation from parry.

I only craft & Raid, your weapon stats will depend on what you do.
