AST Anima stat allocation

[Taika]

It's totally a good heal and dps stat. Like being able to squeeze another skill out that maybe you were not planning to in the middle of tight mechanics. You might have to react on-the-fly to a raise and getting that protect/heal top-off before moving for mechanics again, maybe you have to hard cast it. I have credited knowing how much SS I have of being able to get away with saving someone without an instant and dodging mechanics at the same time.

Is the gear you're using the same than you have on AST on Lodestone? Because your spellspeed (662) is only 51 points more than what I have (611) with having actively avoided the stat. So I could claim to have the (almost) exact same benefits of saving people and dodging while not having invested in the stat at all.

Imagine people trying to use these same arguments in any stat discussion on the DD forums. "But I feel like I'm doing more DPS if I'm using DET instead of CRIT and in my experience it has worked." (Un)fortunately the healing or DPS power in this game aren't based on feelings but numbers. But not having the actual stat weights allows the discussion to move away from facts and makes it confusing for everyone involved (although people seem to be perfectly capable of ignoring the actually known stat formulas as well).
