Accuracy, a poorly designed stat

[EasymodeX]

So the morale is that you must equip DL when fighting odin/behe?

Why are you so fixated on DL? You could use i90 slots with accuracy for Odin. Or crafted gear.

You really think it doesn't deserve a change anywhere?

Not necessarily, but it depends on what is alleged to be the problem. As I said, I'm not against accuracy being removed wholesale since a binary "get X stat minimum" is obnoxious.

However, the components of your argument are/were off-base. You first assumed that the only purpose for acc is Coil, creating an arbitrary link along the lines of "DL is required for Coil only".

Second, you seem to be very fixated on Darklight for some unknown reason. If you're saying that Darklight has too few non-acc options for players who choose not to do Coil (or simply to mix and match pieces in general), and that Primals need higher acc requirements (less than Coil) that's one thing.

However, complaining that "Darklight has accuracy!" is irrelevant.

I just can't set my mind on why it's a random arbitrary number there without any sense of progression gearwise.

It's not random and arbitrary. It's based on the mob level. Higher level mobs and higher-tier content require more acc. That's pretty logical. Not necessarily perfect game design by any stretch, but it is coherent and legitimate.

Very rarely will i90 will have more accuracy which is just contradictory to progress.

This is delusional. i90 has as much accuracy as i70. It's all over the place -- and for same slots with the same priority, i90 has more raw acc than i70 gear.

I'm sitting here on my DRG with mostly i90 gear at 502 accuracy, and I'm trying to reduce it. I can't even upgrade my belt from Allagan to BiS Myth because it will increase my accuracy.
