You mean, don't need it outside of Abyssea, at least not for accuracy. Inside of Abyssea, even with all the buffs, is the only place where there's mobs who still demand some accuracy at least. With proper gear you won't need it on most of it, but it's a nice bonus for those certain situations.
But especially with all those buffs you can't underestimate a WAR's evasion, not on NMs, but other mobs. Having evasion reduced helps with Retaliation. So if you really wanna do damage, without regard for taking any (which currently encompasses 90% or so of my WAR activities, both in- and outside of Abyssea), this helps nicely with generating TP. I have a 40% evasion rate against dynamis mobs, with Aggressor I can floor it. And not only will this give more TP to use while under Berserk, but it will increase Retaliation damage too.
That's not skill, that's ill planning (or being slept/stunned/amnesiad while you were using your other JAs). And why would I play Hello Kitty online? Crafting is even more annoying there.
Got proof for that? Enhancing a higher value by the same percentage as a lower value yields exponentially greater results, which make up for the ~17% increase in relative duration (which is not a 17% increase in the actual effect, since some of it will be out of sync with the other effects, which would profit from it).
Unmerited Berserk:
0.6*1.25 + 0.4 = 0.15 = 15% overall increase
Fully merited Berserk:
0.6*1.25 + 0.23 + 0.17*1.25 = 0.1925 = ~19% overall increase
So you just gain a 4% overall difference, meaning even at 800 Attack, would only net you an additional ~30 Attack, averaged over time. But occasionally, you will have a lot less attack on the abilities and weapon skills that matter, WSs loaded with Warcry or Blood Rage, self-skillchaining with Sekkanoki and closing with a Warrior's Charge WS. That alone would probably be enough to make up for the entire 4% Attack increase, not to mention Warcry and Blood Rage last enough to get several WS in.
You don't know how I'm using it and I'm fairly certain I use it correctly.
