Voidwatch Final Chapter

Stuff, don't want to make a WoT quote

Ehh, for BLU and MNK the Eye isn't bad if your under acc cap. Switching to eye is more effective then using Pizza or switching around other pieces. 4STR is only 1 fSTR and 2 attack which are incredibly minor when compared to the 5% hit rate that 10 accuracy brings. Accuracy is not to be taken lightly nor assumed to always be auto-capped, abyssea has really ruined the player base's idea of accuracy, back at 75 it was the 2nd most important stat with haste being the first. Now that we're at 99 we're now fighting monsters at level 110 or more, that is a pretty hefty cut into your accuracy to begin with and it doesn't help that SE likes to play with monster stats.

Only point i attempt to make is that for DNC and MNK, its a difference of about 7 Accuracy, or 4 Accuracy, Neither of which will be a game changer when it comes to those types of fights, and theres plenty of other changes you can make first, with a much bigger impact. In most cases, 4~7 Accuracy won't make or break a build. Which is about 2~4% Hit rate bonus. (comparing to the next best things MNk and DNC have for Accuracy, Empyrean Ammo)

I see your point Saevel, And i understand the value of accuracy, Its just the minimal/negligible amount of accuracy a Mantis Eye offers over alternatives seems rather insignificant, and would not make a large enough impact on a Build to be considered worth carrying around the inv-1 Item for those 1-2 Fights it might be worth it, and again, Even in those fights, there's many other alternatives.

I remember 75 as if it was yesterday, I still have old pictures of my TP sets from back then... the memories, Accuracy was a huge thing. Now adays it means a little less because most events offer boosts to that (Stalwarts, Atmacite, Etc), But I'm well aware of its importance still today!

I'm not doubting accuracy as a valuable stat, Simply Mantis Eye is so limited in its uses, and even its "uses" are questionable because of the dozens of other options you have when considering an Accuracy heavy build, that the item itself becomes situational to such a strong extent its a just garbage. Its 'maybe' useful for 2/3 of the jobs on less than a handful of enemies, and this is assuming you have no way buffs available, Like BRD or COR, or are stuck in a Proc party (Voidwatch).

There just aren't as many enemies today that require accuracy heaviness. Its not to say the stat is meaningless, far far from it, its just the situation where the stat is deemed "heavily needed" enough to rebuild a gear-set around it are far and very few between. Hell back at 75 Accuracy was under heavy consideration for Merit Parties, I remember Colibri TP Sets... Back in those days, Something Like Mantis Eye could be quite useful, since most of the game revolved around maximizing accuracy, as it was a difficult task back then. Today, not so much. Skills are much higher, and As I reiterate, there are fights where accuracy is an issue, but its few and far between, and you always have stuff Like Stalwarts, and BRD songs to help.

I think the only fight i can think of off the top of my head i had accuracy problems with, on THF, was the Beetle in Ronfaure, that guy is just annoying beyond words... Sorry to keep creating wall of posts, My thought process forces me too, and i repeat myself a lot because i know attention spans are short.

Oh noes and madrigals/sushi will give you +50% hit rate. All of a sudden your craptastic ammo slot look dumb. It's pretty much only usuful when at 90% hit rate while other gears have capped acc onthem. And you don't compare it 4str/2 att, you compare it to +15 attack from potestas bomblet, which is between 4% and 5% damage boost too.
