Magic accuracy

Sang blade... accuracy? I missed something?

Elemental WS can be resisted, and are affected by Mag Acc.

I'll admit that it's not a big deal, but on some NMs Sanguine Blade spam might be your best tactic.

Actually, This was a question I actually remember being asked along while back.

JP Actually focus on Macc for spells with Additional Effects. They believe BLU's should worry about making their Added Effects on spells proc (head butt stun, Blitzstrahl stun, etc), So they stack no Macc Weaponry/etc and dont care about BLU spell damage, Just the Added Effect procing. to "support" the group.

Its the same reason JP almost refuse to do anything other than COR/WHM when on COR.

So, Its good for Proc'n Added Effects on your spells, but theres nothing more behind it.

JPs really suck at gearing themselves, but damn can they get stuff done efficiently.

JPs are just skilled, think smart and are quick, even the best of players can use shit gear and be amazing. Yet really there is no point in using Magic Accuracy when Blue Magic Skill helps decrease resist rates of Magical Blue Magic. Idk just no point in beefing up Magic Accuracy when its already ridiculous.

Well look at the Emp AF. Focuses on macc and mab also, so it's not just the JP it is the developers too. Maybe it is NA that is playing the job wrong

I think if NA were playing the job wrong they'd reduce the damage we do down to jack and increase the amount of extra effects we're able to use and change spell MP. If drk had 5hit WS and puts up amazing numbers but they all had effects like plague/poison/.5 sec stun, would you ask your drks to load up on m.acc as opposed to str/att?

With blu we have a big problem were we also have 'stances'. When we gear for something we loose out in something else. When i tank i can't DD but i can heal. When i heal i can't DD/tank and when i DD i can sometimes tank but MP healing becomes my downfall (i use TP for heals personally) and it is due to the spells/weapons i'm able to use in a moments notice. If anything the developers listened to both sides of the fence and produced 'general' gear. Nothing that helps blu as a whole but rather parts that help in different situations.

Would you full time full blu af3 to fulfill different roles in a party?

well the other day i tried to use blu/brd but i couldnt land threnody at all. i tried using an HQ staff so maybe 2 of these swords would help? but ya this seems situational as is the MAB swords which would be situational for nuking when you need to still melee and cant use a staff.

Having the skill of a level 45 BRD had nothing to do with it I'm sure... have the BLM sub BRD next time since they can Elemental Seal to make sure the spell lands.

NQ staff is equal to 20 MACC
HQ staff is equal to 30 MACC

So 2x MACC sword would equal a HQ staff, either way it still wouldn't be enough to land spells /BRD.

Thats the great thing about the trial system you can make as many swords as you want to fill any role you want to. I'm really happy with our AF+2 stats. That and we finally got magical nukes worth the MP cost with a decent casting rng.

They suck and die as often as NA groups. They're no more skilled than the best NA's either. you compare great NAs to great JPs, They'll probably come out near equal.

They have their idiots, and they have their smart people. they're no better or worse than us in the long run. But they have some really weird playstyles. I for instance don't hate their Magic accuracy only play style on Blue, but it does leave their damaging lacking.

I know its for helping their party, but wouldn't killing a mob 2x as fast help more than giving it a weak slow effect a RDM could replace?

I do hate COR/WHM though. i avoid JP COR's like a plague because of that >__>
