Connecting the DoTs: A Summoner Guide

[Minorinz]

I honestly don't get the current obsession with spellspeed? Wasn't it the same on 2.0 and right now on 3.0 they just increased their base damage multiplier even then it's still lower than det. no matter how many times I think about it, spellspeed is not that relevant and maybe so if i'm going to stand still and hit a dummy with 0 movement to optimize every second which isn't the case on savage.

If you've been following the discussions between Dervy, Sleigh, Judge, myself and others through the data collection you'd know that:

-It's not an obsession with Spell Speed. It's an avid interest in nailing down the stat weights for our job which many people are incredibly interested in. It's not as easy as saying, X>Y>Z. Not for us anyway. Every job will have some sort of stat weights. We are on the front lines finding those exact numbers.

-Spell Speed is proving difficult to find and early models from Dervy show that Spell Speed is in fact better than BOTH CRT and DET. He mentions this a few pages back. If this is the case it puts SMN in an interesting place with their relationship between Spell Speed and their damage.

-Being so dismissive about the stats, work, and interest of others makes a lot of the research that Dervy and myself do disheartening to hear. We are putting in a lot of time for every SMN that's interested in optimizing their stats for gear and further progression.
