Tank accuracy recs for Coil

If it's 462 I'm set. It's kinda odd the requirement is so high for 1-3 given how low the ilevel requirement is in comparison.

It doesn't matter where you attack from as far as I know.

It has been tested that Accu requirements vary in magnitude following the order of Front > Sides > Back. This is why generally tanks need higher Accu caps than anyone else.

Huh... So I went and googled some stuff, and it seems I have missed that bit of info completely. The more you know.

Actually the required hit caps for up to coil 5 are as follows:
Front = 483 acc <- Haven't tested it myself so I just assume this was right. I do remember doing fine with 475 when I tanked twin tho.
Flank = 458 acc
Rear = 435 acc

Thats the hit cap for all classes/jobs.
The reason that BLM needs only 435 acc to hit 100% is because spells always hit the rear.
SMN on the other hand need more because of their pets.

Other than that I only really cared about the T8-T9 hit caps which are.
Front = 515
Flank = 489~493
Rear = 460~ (don't know the exact number)

Anywhere around 470 and you'll be fine for T1-4. Just don't do what I did, went into T1 with 424 Accuracy at iLevel 86 you might as well have sand in your eyes. I'm 473 unbuffed, using La Nos Toast HQ and I don't miss these days!

My paladin is sitting at 515 accuracy with i100 gear (minus the boots, neck, wrists). Using i90 boots (non-Allagan), and accessories (could be higher if I got Allagan neck, wrists and ring).

this is wrong, you need 480+ for T5, you can have lower for Twintania but you definitely need 480+ for the snakes.

Flank should be 493, I've gone into T8 with 490 and missed.

Thats weird, in all my T8 clears I haven't missed once with 489 accuracy, are you sure you hit the flank and not somehow from the front or the Dread when he was on his way to the tank?
As for T9 it might be 493 I haven't tested it since I go with the front cap for this fight.

Its possible that dreadnaughts have higher acc requirements but i haven't been bother to test it. I go into T8 as monk so I use back and flank very frequently and we stack for ballistics and gas bombs, so we rarely go into the avatar during the duration of the fight, unless there are landmines nearby.
