T13 100% accuracy cap is 514 not 515. over 5000 casts and never a miss.

You got lucky. I missed a Blizzard 3 once with 514 Accuracy.

That's an interesting fact to know but I can't find a set that utilizes 514 that I like. What's this set you're using?

This is my own believe and I,m 100% right about it. 515 Acc T13 BiS is not the BiS of T10 or T11 or T12. You also want to properly allocate your stats per turn. In T11, you have not a single AoE opportunity so I got hard on it. In other turns, I've proven it with my guide videos, there's a lot of AoE and Crit + Det wins in AoE. Spellspeed has no gain in AoE so regardless of the stats you put, as long as you have a decent amount of spellspeed (560-590 imo) you'll do great.

To me... using a 515 Accuracy BiS in T10 is the equivalent of wasting 45 off-stats that could be allocate in better stats.

Well, just looking at the T13 set offhandedly it's an alarming 10 DPS worse than the one I posted three pages ago as well as having 18 less Crit.

To be honest i believe more on Aikaal set then yours, -37 int is too much of main stat to trade, and a set with 7 craft pieces is not a good thing, even if the calculator says otherwise. Craft gear is good, but its not that good.

Well regardless of how you "feel" with your anecdotal evidence both the calculator & the real world parses would point towards this being an incorrect statement. I'm sure we've both watched Aikaal's BLM guides & can agree he's doing things well enough, so the huge disparity in parses is more than likely attributed to gear rather than playstyle.

So much agressiveness, you need to chill a litle bit.
Well as far as calculator goes, you need to see that, all theorycarfting done on stat weights and damage formula, its that, its theory, and since there isnt an oficial stand by SE on this you need to take it with a grain of salt. Stat weights changed in the past, even nowadays they can change.
As far as "Real World Parsers" can you point me those parsers that prove 7 pieces of caft gear is BiS?
