Threw together a simple BiS - opinions?

For a post-A8S BiS, it's pretty good. I got an INT equivalency value of 1700.443 after mathing out your set factoring in INT, det, crit, and spell speed weights, using an INT value of 1314 (Seeker of the Sun value in full 240 + 245 weapon). Stat weights used were the Garuda pet weights.

For reference, the set that I made: http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/SZ4Z

Comparing to the set I made, the only real difference is in the choice of gloves and the use of an accuracy +12 materia. Using the same criteria that I listed above, my set comes out to an INT equivalency value of 1700.884. The gain mainly comes from less wasted accuracy, even though it has about 45 less crit. Mathematically I haven't been able to come up with a better set than this, but yours is the closest set to mine that I've seen, and better than any other set I tried to come up with.

I personally like DET as a stat as it's a linear scaling in damage.
Otherwise if you get overall more offensive stats, I don't see the problem in keeping higher accuracy Considering almost every gear piece has ACC in 3.2 heh...
