Thyrus Animus - Gains a 5th attribute at Animus stage?

Thyrus Atma(9 books)_____>___Thyrus Animus
38 VIT__________________>___38 VIT
37 MND_________________>___37 MND
28 SPELL SPEED__________>___28 SPELL SPEED
29 DET_________________>___29 DET
___________________________8 ACCURACY


Why did we gain a 5th stat? And why is it Accuracy?

They never EVER decided to put accuracy on our healing gear(as far as I know) until it showed up in the soldiery stuff and now our Animus. I understand Accuracy is a big requirement in end-game but I don't intend to stop healing to throw a little spell at that funky turn 9 boss.

Well, this accuracy on iL100/110 gear IS made to help healers hit when they aren't healing in Coil/Ex primals. That's the only reason, really. But as it isn't a useful stat for healing, they made it a 5th as a bonus to help, rather than removing other stats which have plenty of use like piety or determination

Has it come to this, that we are even going to complain about a buff?

The accuracy on healing gear is a bonus as Kuwa said, it doesn't take away from your other stats.

I want to know why the hell we have THREE VIT books. WOO! ~80 HP!

And yes I do not get the ACC on ALL soldiery gear.

I question it because it's strange.

I suppose that makes sense. I just wonder if we'll be able to further upgrade this stat with Novus.

healers are now expected to DPS in their downtime. Didn't the producers confirm this at some point?

It's simply to keep WHM DoTs etc relevant. This is a good trend since eventually Healers would fall well below acc cap on even soloable trash and lose effectiveness when they're on their own. Plus SCHs would get frustrated if Virus started missing. As for VIT, it's the secondary stat for all classes on weapons.

Because some healers aren't completely lazy and can throw out the odd Aero or Fluid Aura?

my blm need 470 acc not to miss a hit, 8 points in accuracy make difference for a whm when you start from zero ?

You didn't start from 0. You have a base accuracy. And healers don't need to have 100% hit rate on mobs because they aren't spamming DPS. They just need to sink the occasional Aero II or Bio/Bio2/Mia

Plus soldiery armor and high Allagan have acc too so it winds up being a lot more than 8 total from gear.

Giving a WHM Accuracy is like giving a Dragoon Piety, there's no reason for it.

DRG literally has no skills that use MP so yeah there's no reason for a DRG to have piety.

WHM and SCH can actually contribute quite a bit of dps in endgame content and to do so for t6 - t9 you'd need the extra acc that's provided on the new equips.

So yeah, there is a need for the acc bonuses on healer gear no matter what the reason is for you choosing to ignore it.

Because all of it is necessary for Turn 8-9 and future content.

Look at it less in the fact that they're giving you Accuracy because you "need" accuracy, and more of the fact that they're getting Accuracy because it signifies a "boost to your base level" and thus giving you a small stat increase in Accuracy to signify that. At least that's what it is to me.

Vit cap for ilevel 100 weapons.

Its more on par with giving BLM a small +MND boost. And if they did, and it didn't impact any meaningful other stats, I wouldn't complain in the slightest. Stop balking at your gift horse!

Pretty sure the intended Turn 8 strategy is 2 tanks and healers dpsing.

I doubt that. They nerfed Holy into the ground and removed thunder as a cross class because WHM was DPS'ing.

They nerfed Holy because it was super OP for AoE trash and fates, and they removed thunder as cross class because it was OP for SMN. Also, go into T8 with a dual tank set up and tell me healers aren't intended to DPS.

This is why i100+ gear has accuracy.
