It would crit, but less, so that may be equivalent. Doing more damage but less crit, or doing less damages but more crit. At the end if you sum both option i think it's kinda equal.
Velhart posted spell speed as one of the stats and i have seen other posts about some seeming to think SS is of value, when the value isn't really
I did not say anyone was arguing now did i? SS Just does not really belong on RM this point in time, other stats even determination is of better value
People need to be informed, i mean players can do what they want mind you
I figured people would already have read the earlier post you said about it, although it literally just dawned on me that some people might skip to the end to ask their own question rather than scanning pages for the answer already previously posted. And in any case, my point about spell speed is that it's not entirely useless as some believe, although you'd have to give up a huge amount of the other stats (which would be worse than any benefit it could give) in order for it to gain a somewhat impactful benefit.Velhart posted spell speed as one of the stats and i have seen other posts about some seeming to think SS is of value, when the value isn't really

Also @ClairePendragon I'm more talking about nearly Arrow levels of spell speed, i'm only at like 1100 SpS and i'm still getting to the 60/60, 70/70 manafication problem.
I went with DH>CRIT>DET until we know more what stat weights be like
Stat weights are already known and they are dynamic.
As rule of thumb:
If DH + Crit < 3500 : go for DH
If DH + Crit > 3500 : go for Crit
Thank you for understanding, lol
Part of the issue is also that the gear is shared among casters. Some of it is more geared towards blm and some Red Mage. I play both blm and Red and it is a struggle, almost need 2 seperate gear sets. And some of the weapons are also of issue, high SS on a Red Mage weapon and yet none on blm. I seriously question their decisions
Would like the source too
While SpS isnt the best option fo RDM, Ive been debating on a "new way to look at SpS".
Its still the worst, but a way to make it not feel like ist a waste, is to actually use manification when its up, even if you're 50/50 or 60/60.
The reasoning behind this is that you were going to use manification roughly the same time every fight, with, or w/o SpS.
So instead of looking at it as wasted mana, Ill look at it as having landed 1+ GCD attacks before I use manification.
This is probably the only way I can justify it in my head, until I get more options in gear lol.

Direct > Crit > Spell speed
It seems that beyond 1.7k for both DH & Crit proc more often, but the gear sets................got to pick one and I mostly choose direct hit. Spell speed? Their cast time on most spells are already short and they don't have DoT spells so I don't get the reason for high spell speed to tell you the truth.
