Bard stat priority

[Kwoon]

I really wish I was better at doing the math myself, it really seems to me that SS would be a bit better than most findings show considering they also affect your DoTs which with Crit as a main focus should theoretically boost how many procs you get and thus your overall damage. Looking like it doesnt matter so much right now though since DH is such an easy choice and a lot of the crit focused gear right now typically carries enough SS to break you into a decent enough range without prioritizing it.

My bad on the mis-information. I just came back from a long hiatus and wasn't aware of the change. So we no longer have to worry about raid bosses? I'm guessing they are all Level 70 mobs?

Yup, so far! Accuracy is just a penalty in that you don't really feel stronger just adding more and more of it to meet accuracy checks, so they removed it. It's especially nice for healers now that we don't need to meld accuracy in every materia slot just to hit bosses.

SS

I'm pretty sure SS increases DoT damage, but not DoT tick speed. I could be wrong, but SS and Det were pretty close in weight for 3.x bard, and they buffed determination with Stormblood. Anyway, we'll see when people start putting out official stat weights for jobs.
