Bard... is determination still worth it?

[Hakuohsama]

After some gear changes and pars trys i dindt see a big change in dmg when having more determination at all..
Since we dont Autoatk anymore it simply just increases the overall Dmg of our skills.

Having lower Critrate on the other Hand i instandly see an decrease in Dmg.
Now that Skillspeed increases our DOT Dmg iam asking my self if determination is the worst stat for us now.
Skillspeed does also lower our cast time.

So iam asking my self..

Pre till cap > Crit > Skillspeed > Determination

With Alex Savage and new weekly cap equipment comming our way I gues I will reduce my determantion as much as i can.


Any thoughts on that?

Skillspeed still doesn't do anything to dot damage, or if it does you need insane amounts of it to even increase min/max dmg of dots by 1 dmg.

I wish people would quit spouting this. SS has about as much affect on dots as Det does.

Not a troll question, can you please show me where you got this info from?

Because from my own testings it doesn't do anything, but then I haven't done excessive testing which someone else might have.
