Missed an... ability last night with 450 Accuracy in Turn 6. Aetherial Manipulation missed ^.^ (didn't know that could happen...)

I'm getting 100% with 458 Accuracy so it's somewhere between 450-458.

noticed I missed a fire ball with 435 Turn 6..

everyone please post your # hit and # miss + skill missed, so I can pool them and have a good approx of what ACC cap is, then we can start discussing BiS gears ^.^

Cleared Leviathan EM a few times today. Looks like BLM is once again one of, if not the worst DPS for Leviathan EM. Between the dodging and massive multi-DoTing you can do on the only real DPS race, the orbs, it's hard to justify even bringing BLM over SMN in any way from an efficiency stand-point. I haven't even looked at Mog EM videos or strategies but I'd have to imagine, once again, why bring BLM ...

acc doesn't seem much of a problem with the gear available. Useful BiS (over theoretical BiS, looking at you spell speed) seems to heavily point towards a crit heavy build (unless there is an actual cap)

Rough numbers of yesterdays turn 6.
445 acc missed 4-5 times in estimated 1-1.5 hours. One of the attacks missed a golem. No exact numbers.

I don't have accurate numbers but I can sort of confirm. Roughly 2.5 hours attempts in turn 6, running around 444 acc w/ food. I was told I was missing.

Not sure where you come up with BLM being one of the worst dps for any fight. Plan movements to maximize casting time, its always been what BLM does. BLM can top dps on any fight with a lot of dodging, as long as they plan their movements properly. I have had a BLM or been the BLM myself in almost every fight in this game, they have high damage output, especially AoE and great utility with bind/heavy/sleep. Your logic on "why bring blm" is based on your own failures to maximize BLM from what I can tell.

I've cleared it multiple times on BLM, of course SMN wins over all in that fight ha, BLM still does quite decent, DRG/MNK are the ones that get screwed on that fight lol.
