increase accrucay and dmg output from marauder

[VydarrTyr]

Just because you missed 9 times in a row doesn't mean that your accuracy sucks in general. Just like all those times you hit 9 times in a row means your accuracy is great in general.

I realize there's some measure of luck involved, since it's all just dice-rolls behind the scenes. But hitting 9 times in a row doesn't mean nearly as much as missing 9 times in a row. You should hit more than you miss. If I miss 9 times in a row, I've got to hit the next 9 times in a row just to bring my accuracy up to 50%. And accuracy below 50% is too low. If you think 40% is fine, then we have a more fundamental disagreement about what is an appropriate level of accuracy.

If you really think your acc is that low, get a HQ weapon, use silver rings, keep your dex at least 80-110, use acc food divine boost, stop fighting mobs that are too high for your rank.

I said I had 4 silver rings and 100 Dex. And I said it was a leve. I wasn't solo grinding basilisks. I was doing a leve at Camp BW on 3 stars.

I also said, "As a Marauder, you're pretty much forced to use as much gear/food as you can on Accuracy." So I'm aware of the ways in which you can boost your accuracy, and I obviously use them.

As for getting an HQ weapon, I did (after this). But this kind of proves my point. If Marauders have to buy HQ weapons, equip silver rings, and eat accuracy food, just to have the same Acc as an unbuffed other class, then something is out of whack.

Skill wise, use still precision, hawks sys, disorient, and comrade in arms

I had equipped all those skills at the time (except Comrade in Arms, which doesn't help Acc). And in fact, I popped Disorient both before and in the middle of my whiff-fest.

Are you suggesting that Marauders are just as accurate as other classes? Because if so, I totally disagree.

If your point is that there are ways that Marauders can increase their accuracy, well, yeah. I said that.

If your point is that Marauders do not suck, I agree with you. Like I said, Marauders should have a role in end-game parties even with all their accuracy trouble.

I love playing Marauder. It's my favorite class. But sometimes it can be frustrating whiffing like Mark Reynolds.

I'm not sure what your point is. Are you suggesting that Marauders are just as accurate as other classes? Because if so, wow. I totally disagree.

More or less, yes.

Most people think that their class has a bad this or a bad that. It's just a perceived weakness.

For example: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...cer-s-Accuracy

We all remember the times when we miss 8 times in a row, but it doesn't happen that often compared to the times we hit 20 times in a row, and we mentally don't even acknowledge it.

I don't even eat acc food on NM fights, and I still kick ass as a R50 MRD. Accuracy was much worse pre-November patch.

If your point is that there are

I know you did, the second part of my post was directed to everyone else as a general guideline for what you can do to increase accuracy.

First of all, Rentahamster, I probably owe you an apology. I went back and re-read my post, and it came out sounding much more snotty than I intended. I went back and tried to revise it to be less jerk-ish sounding, but it looks like you responded to my earlier version. I apologize if it sounded bad. That wasn't my intention, and I should be more careful before I post.

I'm sure there's some validity to this. But I'm not sure that a Lancer thread about how much they miss is evidence that Marauders don't miss much. For one, Lancers miss a bunch, too. For two, considering how consistently people complain about Marauder accuracy, I'd be shocked if everyone was wrong and all classes missed the same amount.

But I would like to see those parsed numbers. I could certainly be wrong.

Totally agree. But the Nov patch buffed everyone's accuracy, not just Marauders.

Fair enough. I'm sure some folks appreciate that. Sorry I misinterpreted.
