How SS is calculated and works

[Krindor]

So how does the +1ss that pushes you into the next tier compare to other secondaries? Are you guys saying that melding +1ss could be worth more than a +12 det or crit? Or am i misunderstanding lol

Yes, depending on class it has a different level of increase but even for NIN that 1 point is close to 2.5 str in value.
