So it seems that now EVERYONE is getting Macc determined from the "fake" skill stats on iLv gear and not just hybrid mages like DRK, BLU or RDM...

And I like the whole "simplification of the iLv Macc formula" thing....

But I don't like being in the dark about the gains from the "fake" skill stat...
I for one would REALLY appreciate a dev note about the comparison to former stats.
They've already said that the new formulas make the Voay staffs have MORE Macc than they did before.... But what does that mean for regular staves?

Let's look at Atinian.
Before: +180 Macc +215 "fake" staff skill
Now: +215 "fake" staff skill

Does this mean that it's now getting an effective +215 Macc? or is the formula such that it maintains a +180 Macc....
This is rather complicated.... or at least it holds the potential to be so.
Especially for comparison sake.

How will +215 "fake" skill compare to Magic Affinity +6? Because... that's basically what you're dealing with as a Mage.
And without some sort of note about the formula.... some general gist of it... How can the playerbase eyeball Macc anymore without knowing how "fake" skill translates into Macc?
