AST Anima stat allocation

[Valmaxian]

Despite the criticism of Determination due to poor scaling, I'm personally putting in the 115 in DET simply because with my current gear and melds, its at a measly 512, while my Crit, SS, and Piety are considerably higher. I'm splitting the rest between Crit and Spell Speed, simply because I want to try and keep all my stats balanced. But as Lyrica said, Spell Speed probably won't need much attention for you, as we tend to get a lot of it.

Well, no. Even with the availability of spell speed from armor in general, I'd advise to avoid it like the plague. Spell speed provides primarily subjective benefits, hardly any objective merits.
