[...]So my test results coil turn 5 473 acc 100% connect

Gonna agree with you here. I am not sure where people are getting the 480 numbers from. I run 475acc and I do not use acc food, I have never parsed a miss on turn 5 in God knows how many attempts. If it is above that, it is MUCH LESS than 1% chance.

I think the people saying "oh I have 48X and have missed" are not actually parsing and just assuming a miss when a combo timer runs out or something.

There's also the possibility that different classes have different accuracy caps and that certain bosses may have certain resistances and comes across as a miss.

Class: Warrior

I have parsed a miss at 478 Accuracy.

I have yet to parse a miss at 480 Accuracy, but that's only through three attempts (we usually kill in 1-2 attempts).

I've heard that only Asclepius has an increased Accuracy cap and that the cap on Twintania (and Hygeia, Dreadknights and Conflagurations) is actually quite low. I can't confirm or deny this. If we could also keep track of where the misses are occurring, that would help a lot.

Acc cap is different for tanks than dps....

I've heard a few theories that could support why some people miss and some don't. Accuracy caps differ between each type of class, and there's been the suggestion that the hit chance is capped is 95%. I've no idea if the 95% cap is true or not as there's a lot of debate about it in other forums.

If hit chance is capped at 95% you'd see on average several misses each ATTEMPT. It might be capped, but if so it's capped higher.

Yea I have seen the same theory of a possible % miss regardless of acc. I only play tank on twin so I can only speak as a tank. As far as melee dps the monk... well he never misses and floats around 478 right now. I never miss but, I am @ the highest theoretical cap atm. When I switch over to warrior from pld my warrior only had 472 and he never missed as well.

Either way some people are recording misses @ 500+ and that's where the theory of a possible miss %. Either way there is no solid numbers. As it currently stands we try to gear for 475 or so.

Wow I'm surprised this is still going. I need to know these things because I'm still debating what matters to slot on on my gryphon rings. I'm floating around 475 atm, but I'm still getting rid of my i70 accessories. So I'm not sure how high I need to be to safely get through t5, though I still have a while since I'm just now starting to do coil

There was some discussion on the DPS forums that leaned towards "attacking the mobs from different sides has different acc thresholds".

Currently the thought is that 100% acc from the rear or from spells (omnidirectional) is 435 acc. Acc from the flank is 458. Acc from the front is >476-ish (maybe 481). This applies to all mobs in Coil.

The reason why people think snakes have higher acc being that people spend a lot of time attacking them from the front compared to Twintania.


Also, keep in mind that certain parsers will record a "miss" if you attack into an invuln target on a phase transition, or if an AOE attack "misses" on a target that disappears or other odd situations. You should check which attack actually missed to ensure it was a "legit" miss in between a lot of landed attacks.

I've parsed a miss when I was at 536 accuracy on my PLD in Turn 5. I don't think that means the acc cap is above that. What it probably means is that once you hit around 472 acc, you have a 99.99% chance to hit. (The game might not let you get 100% accuracy)

Ever since then I've been running with 475 acc and I a 100% hit rate so far (for over a month).
