Accuracy on new Healer gear...?

[Rbstr]

I throw some DPS pretty often in T4...it'd be nice for Aeros on the dreads and Holy not to miss.
But the magic acc cap is like 440? You won't get close to cap with 5 per-piece.

Perhaps there'll be some harder solo content to do at some point that'll need it.

Doesn't make since for WHM. . Considering most coil and end game extremes are a huge manasink. . Don't do much dps if ur managing your mp. . Lets buff shroud up and ill consider dps.. in 4 mans its cool but in 4 mans in high end gear accuracy is pointless at that ilvl

I willhave to disagree. Besides T6 which we are just learning I dps in turns 1 -5 (I even holy in T4 without it being a serious mana concern) - Youjust have to manage your mana wisely and know when you can "splurge" a bit on dps. Stone I misses makes me cry in T5. My raid group still laughs when i curse for missing one. I for one, welcome the little bit of more accuracy we are getting.

Stone I misses makes me cry in T5.

You really have no dps class in your party setup to slow down/stun dn?

[Madoka]

Odds are you need the accuracy for T7 and possible 8/9. 7 has interesting mechanics.

[KarstenS]

But will it be enough? The accuracy cap in Coil2 is a bit higher than Coil1 and the amount of accuracy on healer gear is not very high.

All this accuracy is doing is allowing healers to maintain a similar hit chance in the Second Coil as they do in the turns 1-5. The accuracy cap is higher in the Second Coil, so without a bit additional accuracy we'd be missing more in turns 6-9 than we did in 1-5. SE is not trying to encourage you to DPS if you don't want to (I don't, if I wanted to DPS I'd have rolled one) and the fights are not designed to require you to DPS, but having Energy Drain or Miasma miss three times in a row because you have no accuracy can be pretty annoying.

As new tiers of content are released with higher accuracy requirements, we will likely continue to see more accuracy on healer gear just so we don't have to deal with 65% hit chance in turn 13 or whatever.

It can be useful to dps as a healer even in new coil; I helped dps in p2 of T6 to push into p3 a little quicker. You obviously don't want to dps INSTEAD of healing, but in addition to can help make certain phases smoother.

[Staris]

Ahhh the bad healers who don't dps scare me.

[Vena_Sera]

The one and only reason there is acc on healibg gear is to supplement Energy Drain for SCH. Otherwise, SCHs will miss A LOT of drains. I have some acc gear and I stil miss a lot in Turn 7-8. There isn't enough of it to encourage healers dpsing in the 2nd coil.

Aero (II)s missing on Leviathan is the most annoying thing ever.
