Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

glorious numbers

Apparently 341 is the accuracy cap for the flank on Lv. 50 Dummys. Could you try aim for 335-340 if possible? This week I'll power-level up an alt to around 45 and do a really large sample size.

So. If this really is the case, that there is a difference in Accuracy between the different positions, what Accuracy Requirement would be the safest for us to aim for? The flank or rear?
Or would it alternate depending on the players/teams tactics for handling certain bosses? Because the Flank seems more sensible to me, as a lot of players switch between rear/flank for different phases of fights, as well as our most important buff is done from the Flank.

The safest bet would be to aim for flank acc cap, yeah; if you're going to be forced to be in-front of a boss-type enemy for any substantial amount of time you would want to hit that acc cap as well, but I'm sure that difference could be made up with food.

edit: My reasoning behind going for flank acc cap is not only for HT, but dodging boss mechanics will push you into that area for a considerable length of time through out most fights.

Precisely. For example, Turn 2 ADS, it's safest to be on the flank to avoid the Chain Lightnings 100% completely. And if Leviathan is anything like what they showed on the videos, then we'll need to aim for the Front Accuracy for that particular fight.

Just asking guys, I see all these posts concerning accuracy. When in the game it becomes an issue?

Very important. It could solve this issue why we always see tanks always complaining when we say 472 is what is needed for Twintania, and why Mages need much, much less Accuracy.

It means we can invest more into damage than we actually first thought we could.

It explains why people have reported 0 misses on Twintania at sub-665 accuracy, and some report a miss at 473, or why we need 482 for the T5 snakes, but only "472" for Twintania, for example.

Just a question : why so many DPS are aiming for the 100% accuracy hard cap ? Is it a new rule that, if you miss 0.2% of your skills, you are a fucking noob, even if your DPS is higher ? For a tank, I can understand, but from a DPS point of view, the highest DPS, the better. And, actually, some test are showing that the highest DPS on Twintania doesn't require this hard cap.

The possible DPS loss from losing a chain is my guess (though I'm still not certain if you completely lose the chain or not with a miss); if this is the case I can see why acc is valued so much higher than any secondary, since I doubt the difference could be made up with the increase in secondaries you would get going from "capped" to 95% (Flank) or less.

Missing an auto-attack honestly isn't a big deal...but what happens when you miss a Life Surged, BFB-Full Thrust? That's 1300 damage (for me, on average) lost. Or Chaos Thrust misses? Now I need to Impulse Drive and Disembowel again, which is also a good bit of DPS lost (especially if I just used BFB)

So yes, hitting the Acc cap is a pretty big deal...
