Crit vs Det

[Ramsey]

Our group is gearing up our WHM with Determination, for overall more increased healing, to help with the AoE Healing, which is his job in our group.
But since this is about Materia, I say try to go with as much MIND the gear can handle, and fill out the rest with Determination.

For me, being the Scholar in my group, will go with Crit, to get those really crazy shields up on the tank.

All healing gear has natural mind on it, thus an HQ piece of healing gear can never be slotted with mind. The raw value of a stat on a piece of HQ gear represents the cap for that stat on the piece of gear. This is almost always true with physical stats (MND,DEX,INT) and generally true with secondary stats (Det,Crit,Acc)

(Note: This is only true for combat gear, the opposite is true for Crafting & Gathering gear, the more of a stat something has, the more it can take.)

Alkalurops has natural MND,PIE,VIT and Spell Speed.
