Bard stat priority

[Aethaeryn]

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.

Are we saying

CRIT - DH - DET - SS

Wouldn't it be better to have SS then DET?

SkS does 2 things, increase DoT damage but also increases the time Empyreal Arrow is up. Since Empyreal helps with your music gauge, I'm curious why this isn't a factor. Is it that there isn't enough SkS at this time to affect how many you can fit in, specially for Pitch Perfect? I'd think the goal was to increase efficiency in the music gauge overall.

Is it something that will scale better as we go further into the expansion?
