I can't see anyone wanting to give up 47 points of their primary stat per piece for what amounts to an alternate way to get secondary stats. Even if you assume a 1:1 ratio on, say, STR to CRIT, there's no way I'd give up 47 mind for 47 crit. That's losing way too much overall heal potency (and attack potency, when in Cleric Stance) for a smidge more possibility at a crit. Our secondary stats aren't powerful enough for this to be anything but another illusion of choice.

What's the justification for DEX increasing DET, MND increasing SKSP, and INT increasing TP refresh though? o.O
