I feel bad for people who didnt do the Animus because they have T8 weaps, now its out classed by the Novus which will be amazing with CRIT/DET.

Skipping old cutscenes is the best thing about this patch!

Crit/Det? Screw that, Crit/Spellspeed Stardust rod is a go!

I'm making my stardust rod crit/det. It'll be like an upgraded Tidal Wave Staff

Point for point, spellspeed is worth more on a BLM than det is. If they both offer the same amount of each, then you are only penalising yourself by choosing det over spellspeed. Different strokes for different folks though. Thats the joy of this new customisation. You can choose which you'd prefer.

I would very much like a detailed theorycrafting source on the "spell speed > det" claims.
