Heavy Strike low accuracy problem

[Nightfyre]

We should test spell accuracy on level 1 mobs. I've heard it all now.

There's a difference between an accuracy penalty and a hitrate penalty; Heavy Strike has the former whereas your test would reveal the latter.

This. I've already conducted these tests and confirmed that it isn't a hitrate cap reduction, it's an accuracy penalty akin to Slug Shot/Sidewinder. The exact accuracy penalty I haven't the foggiest idea of, but it's large enough to be a massive hindrance to the spell's usability. Why am I missing 8/10 Heavy Strikes on DC turtles in Tahrongi Canyon, SE?
