    People seemed to have liked the math before, so let's run through a few things. We'll start out with 2 simple builds focused on end-game gear. We won't use the relic weapons as currently you can't upgrade your relic weapon to 135. So we'll be using the Dreadwyrm Cane with a base of 82 Magic Damage. Race wise I will be using a Lalafell - Dunesfolk (myself) for the stats. Your Mind/Piety may be slightly higher or lower then what you see, but it should only be off by a small margin.

    The two builds in question will be as follows:

    Determination - Going strictly for every piece of gear that adds determination with the exception of NOT using the ilvl 120 and ilvl 130 ring together (because MND is the primary stat we want, with determination being 2nd of course). So both ilvl 130 rings will be used.

    Piety - All gear that has piety on it, again with the exception of the rings. 1 Pie = 8 mana (roughly rounded)

    Please note this also assumes the best food used possible, as will be shown in each link at the very bottom.

    Determination Build

    http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/P8BL

    Mind - 664
    Det - 333
    Pie - 413
    Mana - 4850+
    SSpeed - 506
    Crit - 428 (11.39%)

    Cure 1 - 1540 (Average Heal)


    Piety Build

    http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/P8BO

    Mind - 664
    Det - 243
    Pie - 530
    Mana - 5790+
    SSpeed - 450
    Crit - 459 (13.56%)

    Cure 1 - 1500 (Average Heal)


    Conclusion
    If you want to sacrifice a little over 900 mana, you can pump out an extra 40 HP (on average) with Cure 1. This is using the best food for both, which happens to be the same exact food, and a 4 star synth (doubtful most people are willing to spend the money to have this made). I'm not saying one build is better then the other, all I'm doing is providing the raw data. Each person will have to decide for themselves if they want more mana, or bigger heals (or a hybrid of both).

    It's not that I forget, it's just that I don't care.
