AST melds

You'll miss those gravities and malefic IIs. Accuracy is worth it.

Good to know.

[Rai_Takara]

It depends on how much you dps. In our group I, as the main healer, do little dps while the SCH and tanks do most of it. As such, accuracy is really meaningless to me as I would rather have the piety and crit for them sweet essentials.

Though I find myself having too much MP in savage so I might just end up putting points into accuracy or switch into less gear with piety.

[Repulse97]

Consequently my personal playstyle priority is:

SpellSpeed > Piety > Critical > Det

I agree with you. SS is a lot more rewarding this patch since they made enhanced benefic II a guaranteed crit. I\\'m also building my AST with SS and PIE, though PIE can be replaced with crit if it isn\\'t a problem. MP management isn\\'t a problem for me, but I still meld PIE for safety. I also like the HoT bonus from SS.

[KDSilver]

SS and Det on astrologian is good.
A little piety.

Those stat are good both for diurnal and nocturnal.

[Rennies]

I'll have more than 1000 critical hit rate and ~900 piety with my Scripture pants. I'll never fall out of love with crit.

ast require u to be a turret and must always be casting, there is no idle time playing as an AST you are always doing something be it drawing cards, healing, dealing damage , you never stop at all until things are dead

-Spell speed
This helps both noct and diurnal stance, it allows you to cast faster and allows you to mkve around more quickly out of harms way , it also helps your HoTs and DoTs even in noct sect as you will deal damage with your conburst 1/2 and collective unconscious

-critical chance
This helps your healing and damage by a lot even know its random but it helps , but be warned you may need to pop in and out of cleric stance a lot if your criting frequently, so if you intend to stack this stat a lot you will need to learn to cancle casts and start a new spell Asap

So for astrologian the stats are

Mind > accuracy > crit/spell speed > piety >determination

Crit and speed is personal preference

[technole]

Creator Savage accuracy is confirmed at 592 for casters/healers.

[Lunafreya]

I feel like acc isn't a good stat for us since dots cannot miss. Crit/SS all the way.

[Rai_Takara]

I feel like acc isn't a good stat for us since dots cannot miss. Crit/SS all the way.

Most of our dps comes from Malefic 2 though.
