Dear Yoshi - Where the hell is the accuracy for tanks?!

[Voraxxis]

So, with all but 2 iLVL 90 pieces I should have less accuracy than gear at iLVL70 to do higher level content? Got it. Makes perfect sense! Thanks for all the help.

You decided to come in here and blame Yoshi for your inability to gear properly and now you just want to bow out like its our fault? Its possible that you simply need to rethink what you're wearing, what you have access to, and figure out how every other tank that has ever tanked coil managed to do it.

[Norbi]

It amuses me that you addressed this thread to Yoshi. Because he totally was the person directly in charge of the stat distribution across gear sets.

[Serdapi]

Bads will be bad.

So... you realize that just because your gear increases dosen't mean the acc cap does. Because the acc cap is constant (at 480), and the quantity of secondary stats present on gear with a higher item level increases, it makes sense that fewer pieces would have accuracy on them. This is a good thing. It means more of your pieces can have +enmity stats (det/crit) or, even more importantly, +mitigation stats (parry). Its possible to get parry up to huge numbers in i90, which it wasn't in i70. You never want to wear more than the minimum number of +acc pieces needed to reach cap (other wise its wasted stats).

Also... why haven't you replied to the several listings of the shit loads of ways to get accuracy on pld?

Another note: If you look up the BIS listings, you'll find the valor coat is acutally BiS once you have the other pieces to support it. More over, I lack three pieces (two after tonight) for full i90 any my accuracy is above cap. Why isn't yours?

[Eclipsed]

Yeah, isn't it actually 480? I have never missed at 481.

I was running 472 for a while and never ever had a single miss on T5. At one point I did have 471 and I did see 1-3 misses.

[Kuroyasha]

Again, I know math is hard, but the accuracy cap for turn 5 is 483.

That sentence made me laugh out loud. well done sir, well done.

[saber_alter]

you don't need any more accuracy than 472 pre-turn 5. hq la noscean toast or hq finger sandwich brings you to cap for turn 5 at that level. anything more than that is useless.

use this gear calculator to figure out what you should be using (not mine)

[SpookyGhost]

Again, I know math is hard, but the accuracy cap for turn 5 is 483. If I get 10 from a HQ food, that gives me 476 which is still below the cap with only 2 non iLVL90 pieces. Also, don't say "that is enough" because I notice the misses far too often when it's even a couple below cap. It shouldn't be like that...

Looking at your gear: get the AF+1 pants. The Allagan pants are only ever worthwhile on WAR (since they're the equivalent of WAR's AF+1 pants) until you're WAY over the ACC cap and can afford to lose the ACC from AF+1 pants. Even then, I think AF+1 pants + Allagan boots are still BiS for PLD. This is basically the pain a WAR has to go through gearing up, though, as we have no ACC on our Relic. Thankfully the weapon we get from EM Primals and our Allagan wep has ACC, but until we get either we're a bit starved for ACC once we get a bunch of i90.

(Get the pants tho srsly)

Also with the new threat gen of shield oath who gives a toss,

fact is as long as your holding hate you are fine !
