SpS on SMN anima?

[Neela]

oh that extra Ruin 3 only beats if deathflare doesn't Crit

...i just woke up so maybe i don't get it right but in which way does crit influence the skill before it?
there is no way that an extra ruin lll grands you dps loss... or did i miss something? o.O'

yeah but is it really needed alot of SS can become a hassle with mp management.

edit: you need around 750 ss for the extra spell and honestly it's not that hard to get your mp-management clear even with high ss...
currently (thx to my anima again) i have 1263 ss (round about) and as long as i have not to emergency res grp member multiply times
(which shouldn't happen that often) im totally fine with my manapool... i even can switch egis midfight for blazing shield and switching
back for raw dmg/dps checks while using con. so have you ever tried a build with 1k+ ss? honestly i doubt it...

If you're not into savage then by all means go spell speed. As Brindyr already mentioned the difference in dps is marginal and SS has a lot of utility. Sometimes it means the difference between getting that spell off before the running away from aoe or taking a hit to the face, for example.

Thanks for the input everyone! I'll put SpS on it in good conscience then.

SS is better. With current gear, which has many ss/acc and crit/det pieces (despite pants and one other 270 gear i think) you end up with enough DET anyway if you focus on crit maxing and acc cap.

With new AP weights I go for Crit/SS, melds included. Last raid tier most crit-gear was Crit/ss, so I'm used to it.

just a quick quick whats the Spell speed needed to increase DoT dmg.

just a quick quick whats the Spell speed needed to increase DoT dmg.

It's in the neighborhood of 70 SS for 1% increase in DoT tick damage.
