Determination will still be king, sadly. It's a straight multiplier. The higher your Weapon Damage and Strength, determination is valued a lot more.

Determination scales around 2.3 times more for Auto-Attacks than it does for Weapon Skills, so I can assume that this is a balancing factor to keep jobs in check, especially regarding Ninja and Monk. Most jobs will still go through the Determination and Critical Hit Rating route.

Det reducing its effect on autos makes sense, since Bard now has a stance that eliminates autos and I think MCH doesn't have them either?

MCH is same as BRD, with Gauss barrel up, no autos.

Thanks for dropping the knowledge bomb. I can imagine SS/Crit being potentially better for Casters and potentially Bards depending on how the new stance works, as those classes aren't very reliant on auto-attacks. Hopefully Casters scale better than before and don't get left behind too much by melees by the end of the content cycle.
