Just how different are the 13 jobs with regard to secondary stats?

[Ninster]

I've just recently started to take note of how much impact secondary stats have on jobs, and I'm trying to adjust my gear choices accordingly.

However, as I try to keep every job up to at the very least the item level requirements for duties, I'm finding that I'm at a loss when it comes to what jobs want what secondaries. However, considering how crit impacts on two levels (rate and output), are there any jobs that DON'T want crit on their gear?

WHM is Crit/DET, Det @ 0.342 (or something), But i do SpS/Det bc SpS is more useful to a WM then other healer as it makes the already powerful HOT heals OP as fuck, and Det is 3x higher then Crit in stat weight. So i dont use crit on WHM as it not very usefull, like it is on SCH/ASL

You can all was go Det>Crit>SpS for whm and work for all 3... but i do just fine solo healing A9S/A10S and still ify n A11S with SpS/Det build whm.

No, Crit is bar none the best secondary stat in the game, everyone wants some crit.
That being said, some jobs will favor Skill/spellspeed, Det is decent, tanking stats are not as good as Crit in most cases.

I still prefer crit and pie for all my healer gear.

In most cases, secondary stats are useless.

WHM is the only job that can get away with no high crit, SpS/Det build works very well. Not saying you cant or dont have too.. But it work grate for me with just 670 Crit, I have 987 Det /1012 SpS and my heals are jusy fine, iv tryed the Crit SpS build and it good to.. but my OH % was 47% with crit/SpS or Crit/Det build... were with SpS/Det it only 26-32% OH ( Dont for get im talking solo heal build here) and i have better HOT heals now. Crit is more usefull on SCH & ASL for Shields and Crit heals.. sure crit heals are good on all heals but whm can get away with it easyer as we dont need crit as much as other 2

BLM (and MCH?) heavily prefer S.Spd stats over even crit!

[CaptainLagbeard]

Accuracy (to the cap) > Crit > Det > Skill/Spell Speed seems to be decent enough...
Maybe work some Piety in there among Det and Speed for healers...

If you know how to not over heal/use/do pre caster for heals you don't need Piety

SkillSpeed does not scale with the MCH's turret (which is 15% or more of their DPS).
It is by far the worst stat for them. It does less for them than practically any other class.
