SCH secondary stats question

[Alistaire]

Yes, definitely go with Crit > SpS if you're not doing EX trials or Savage. Since most of your DPS comes from DoTs, SpS gets weighted much higher than usual (like Dervy mentions).

I think you meant sps > crit. (Assuming your concern is primarily with dps as op stated.)

I don't. Yes, SpS does have a higher weight for DPS, but Crit is still more important for healing. Plus, a critlo means not having to touch the tank for a good while.

Indeed. Also, dervy said that for some reasons, the way you applies dot changes dramatically the Ss Weight. So i might not believe his stat Weight this time. I still think crit is better even for dps. But yeah det is garbage and ss is the way to go after crit !

Well, then you're just wrong, because you're ignoring both the specific wording of OP's question, as well as the context of what content he's concerned with. Speed > crit, by a good 50%.

The OP says "for SCH DPS and healing", and the player in question does not do EX/Savage content. Thus, SpS > Crit is correct for DPS, but as he also mentions the "healing" part, I assume that he (rightly) is also concerned with optimizing healing, for which Crit is vastly better than SpS. The post also mentions the Shire Preceptor's Hose, which of course can't take any more Crit and thus he should meld SpS. I don't see where I missed something.

It's not vastly superior for that content, where you neither need nor rely on crits, and a good amount of time just make your fairy more bored by getting them. As for his request being about that piece of gear, giving him the general rule is far better than just telling him "meld this on that" which still leaves him possibly confused later down the road.
