    Direct Hit is... Complicated.

    At this point, you're guessing, or doing trial and error on dummies and in ex's. Maybe find some well rated scholars on fflogs, and see what they meld?
    What's complicated about direct hit?

    Its a flat 25% boost every time it procs every 39 direct hit. Melding 720 direct hit would give you a DPS boost of 4.61% if it were possible. At 720 det being melded 4.31% DPS increase. Losing .3 dps so that your fairy can gain 4.31% more healing power, slightly stonger shields, which both increase mana effeciency, serms to be the better deal.

    Personally I love Det right now. I don't know Sch well, and was under the impression Crit benefited them a great deal more.

    Direct Hit adds more calculation since you can also Crit Direct Hit, and DoTs can also DH and CDH. The crit/dhit interaction gets messy, but will likely be sorted out soon.

    Add in SpS influencing HoT and Dot amplitudes, and it can get complicated.

    I'm a tad torn, but I think I'm leaning towards DET more than anything.

    Crit used to be fantastic for SCHs due to it's amazing synergy with Adlo, but with Adlo being such a sparse cast right now due to it's heavy MP cost, is it worth stacking crit for that and our DPS, since DH is better for DPS?
    Det gives us less DPS, but more healing on us and our fairy, with stronger heals. The DPS isn't too low, only slightly from what I've seen?
    DH is great for DPS, but on progression you won't have 100% uptime on DPSing, especially with the expac and the changes to SCH as is.

    Nah Crit is garbage since it was changed to 5/40 base.

    DET/SS/DH is going to be so close as a DPS stat for healers.

    I would recommend at least 1 T6 DH meld regardless since the DH base is 0% that would at least give you the possibility to hit a DH.

    It's worth stacking Crit and Det. They effect our DPS, our healing, and our fairy's Embrace. DH only effects DPS which we cannot do 100% of the time.
