[dev1242] Question about the Accuracy update

[Shirai]

Are you ever doing content where your accuracy isn't capped? That's like the first thing you do when it comes to stats, and the first thing that is resolved with buffs if necessary.

I can think of a couple of things, High level Incursion comes to mind, and sure buffs solve a lot but you get to a point where in the conventional setups the buffs won't compensate for the rise of evasion meaning that you need to add more support roles.
Adding an extra support means you're going to have to get rid of another role, which usually ends up being the weaker DDs.
As jokingly said elsewhere (FFXIAH I believe) your level 135+ incursion DD party setup may end up looking like the following:
Samurai - Bard - Summoner - Geomancer - Corsair - White Mage

Another situation is doing D/VD High level battlefields with pugs, when you don't have an army of corsairs and bards (mules) standing outside to buff the living crap out of the group before they go in.
Although gear can compensate a lot, without meaning to sound too mean, a lot of people don't carry more than your cookie cutter TP and WS sets and start raining cold sweat at the mention of Accuracy gearsets.
