AST Anima stat allocation

[MariaNyan]

So basically what you're saying is you've made up your mind and no matter how logical my arguments are you won't change your mind even if I'm right in theory. If for whatever reason you feel that SpS helps you keep the party alive better, you're free to feel so. My gripe is that you're in this thread claiming that people are wrong when the fact is that you for whatever reason disagree but can't even prove your point beyond saying you just think you're right. Just for the record I do play healers quite often, though not in savage at the moment where I'm MCH.

Any way good luck with that attitude, I think I'm done with this discussion unless someone actually wants to discuss about facts and not about true sensitive feelings of the heart

because i dont want to derail the thread and keep discussing stuff that is basically statweight, which hasn't been updated forever. To prove you wrong, i discussed with dervy whether on a theoretical standpoint in terms of pure numbers crit/det is better than SpS, and its simply not. If you take a dummy for dps/heal, skillspeed beats out both stats no matter what, @ 1200 SpS+ it even curves out better than Crit. It is mainly my personal feeling, which alot of ppl share, that its better for someone who mains healer for ages. But thats ignoring reality, piety or mechanics and whatever, which basically brings me back to the point - Statweights.
Unless someone is making statweight with all the theory and whistles around it, no point will be proven right or wrong, and take it with a grain of salt again, it is not always better to have crit/det over SpS or the other way around.

And i stop here now because i dont want to discuss this even further(see http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-Stat-Weights/), feel free to do your own research on AST statweight, but short calculations and my gut tells me that SpS is not always worse than crit/det, but also not always better but for sure better for progression without question.
