DRG stat priority, and crit question.

[Sylvain]

Regarding SS vs Crit, I'll just give you a small explaination so you can also have some gut feelings for any other jobs.

SS reduces both casting and recast time of skills/spells (the one which trigger the 2.5sec gcd) but don't for the abilities (anything that has a cd or is triggered like the Dragon Dive thingy)

On DRG, you have a lot of small cooldown that do not benefit from SS. All your jump, Geirskogul, Mirage Dive, Nastrond are all skills that won't benefit from SS and unfortunately they are a big part of your dps. So any SS you have is a wasted state on these skills, you could have 100000 SS, these skills would do the same damage as if you had 0 because your Jump cd stays the same and your SS doesn't increase it's dmg. Which is why

DH > Crit > Det >>>>>>>> SS?

If you play something like BLM whose damage is 100% based on GCD (even Thundercloud is affected since it reduces the recast time and increase the DoT dmg), SS is good because it boosts 100% of your dmg. (Foul doesn't benefit too much from it since it always triggers on a 30sec basis)

So your second question is what will really matter, at which point Crit > DH

As far as I can remember it was in fact around 2k but don't take my word for it and wait for an experienced DRG that could possibly link some reliable source.
