Mytho options for Paladin endgame

[juniglee]

Thanks for that guys. Guess I will start with Valor Gloves then, since I believe the Allagan ones drop on Turn 4 - I am far from that anyway, and I am still using Hoplite Gauntlets.

Might be running Coil soon, so I might hold off on the Chest and Legs, as I have a chance to get the Allagan variants on Turn 1.

That's cool. So, you're saying tanks only need ~454 Accuracy to never miss? Because that's well below what I keep hearing is needed.

Focus Accuracy than? Be my guest. Should have about 461 with Toast. That's the great thing about playing your own character.

Looking at your post: I'm about to hit 495 seals myself.

Should I get Valor Head to replace Hoplite, or go for gloves and hold out for Helm?

Allagan Helm most likely drops Twintania (Turn 5) and because the itemization on Valor Helm is, IMO, weak, I'd get gloves.

The numbers are solidly 470 turns 1-4. 481~482 in turn 5. Like I said, a tank missed with 480 ACC in turn 5 just once. So that's a 99.9% ACC and our Monk who has 482 ACC didn't miss a single time..

So, everything I'm seeing is that you need a good 470 Accuracy just for the first 4 turns, then just over 480 for turn 5. I'd hesitate to call a tanking set Best in Slot if it doesn't at a minimum ensure that your enmity attacks are hitting.

You're entitled to your opinion? Have fun with the accuracy.

Why so hostile?

I apologize if I'm coming across as hostile, since that's not my intent. It's just, I see something being called best in slot when it doesn't seem to fulfill a necessary role that it can and should be fulfilling. I feel like it'd be remiss of me to not point it out, is all. >_>

IMO, accuracy isn't a priority stat to a tanks primary role, although it is important. The tank role is to hold the threat off of others in the group and survive. There are preferences, I myself, like to focus the survive part and stack tanking stats. From my experience, missing has yet to be an issue in BC. Twintania, however, likes to hit pretty hard, and I feel as though Tanking stats are more important than me missing 2-3% of my abilities/auto attacks.

Again, people are entitled to their own opinion, you like to emphasize accuracy and make it "crucial," I don't because it isn't crucial for my role. My role isn't to maximize my damage through the means of all my abilities hitting, my role is to keep threat off my raid and survive the damage, and thus far, I've been performing my role just fine.

You're welcome to make YOUR own BiS gearset and suggest it to people, I'm here merely to help those with questions with my in-game raiding experience and opinions. Sorry, but I don't raid the forums.

Regardless, this is off topic. What should the person focus? Those 3 Valor Pieces and Accessories are my input, my opinion. Hope that helps.

Fair enough. I'll freely admit that I may be over-valuing Accuracy a bit (my main is a DPS, after all). And I'm certainly not trying to recommend completely dropping tank stats to eek out a bit more Accuracy, just that I feel it's a stat worth investing in. After all, a streak of bad RNG can really screw things up, so why not do what you can to mitigate it?

Accuracy IS critical for tanks. Miss once in a Halone combo at the start of any fight in Coil and you just screwed the run. That's why it's so important, because a miss mid combo means you have to start the combo over again. The amount of parry or determination you gain by not going after the 472 requirement for 100% ACC in coil is inconsequential compared to the chance of missing a threat combo at a bad time.

Missing one Halone does not screw the run, lmao. But okay.
