SMN SpS vs. DET BiS?

[Neela]

I am a noob SMN so take my opinion with a grain of a salt. Casters in general favor spell speed and crit for damage. Taking of advantage of Spell Speed to get more Ruin III during Dreadwyrm Trance seems more beneficial than more Det. Spell speed also helps boost DoT damage as well.

jupp. but don't forget that det also boost your egis atks as well. although im playing a ss>crit>det build myself a crit>ss=det build should be BiS atm. Lulu is right i would push ss until you get the extra ruin lll (which should be around 700ss kind of) and than balance det to ss. in the end the dmg difference shouldn't be that great either you push det or ss - but ss will decrease your cds and casttime for hardcasts. so its up to you ^^
