Law Healer gear needs Accuracy.

[Ghishlain]

No. NO! This is a terrible idea.
I'm sure the accuracy soft cap is nerfed in favor of supplying those stat point in something else, which is a VERY good thing.
With the excessive Accuracy caps from before, we healers were gimped on the most important thing, healing power and/or MP depending on which stat the ACC cut. So that meant, less critical, less determination, and less speed, all for the very thing you should not be doing first and foremost! And before someone tries to hit me with "What about those DPS or die moments like the end of Odin", they are exceptions, and exceptions do NOT count. I know I don't want my healing power gimped for something as useless as accuracy the vast majority of the time.

Healing is number 1 on the list, DPS is number 2 and they don't need you're weak two cents about it.

And OMG I can't count the number of wipes we suffered cause our healers "think" they were doing us a favor by attacking over healing.

You do realize that the OP was most likely discussing the fact that in 2.X, healing gear started getting minor smattering of accuracy that went ABOVE the normal secondary caps (think of it as a tertiary stat) and that they were wondering if we'd ever get this back?

Not, change this secondary to Accuracy instead.

And most people in this thread understand that healing is the primary role and DPSing as a healer is a secondary role that can be performed efficiently if the opportunity affords itself.

HAHA! NO! Thats not what the point of this thread is even about. Did you even read the title? We're talking about adding accuracy to healer equipment to hit accuracy checks. We are not talking about whether dpsing as a healer is good or bad. The only dungeons that have an accuracy issue for healers is in 8 man raid content. Four man dungeons are not relevant here.

I'm going to have to go ahead and disagree with you here that four man dungeons are irrelevant to the conversation. I missed the tanks in the first boss of Keeper of the Lake 3 times in a row the other day. These tanks dropped on the ground, just laying there, and my stupid Aero couldn't push them back. Accuracy is most definitely an issue here. I can't even dependably Holy spam anymore because of the number of misses I get.

You don't need it, because right now the only fight where you'll even notice constant misses is ravana.

I will be pretty peeved if esoteric gear has none though. Especially scholar gear.

Also-lol@people thinking getting accuracy would nerf our ability to get other stats. Did you not notice healer weapons and gear at level 50? It had free accuracy on it, 5 stats listed.

Eso SCH gear has zero acc - even upgraded..and hardly any crit:

From the rundown of Savant Gear and Fabled:

SS: 242
VIT: 413
PIE: 431
MIN: 623
CRI: 156
DET: 200

No ACC
Calculated with only one ring, though.

Meanwhile, lurking just above our Determination-filled chest, the White Mage robe is overflowing with Crit. None of the Esoterics stuff really impresses me for Scholar.

i have always been under the impression that magic attacks require a significantly less amount of accuracy then physical attacks. while leveling either CNJ/WHM, THM/BLM and ACN/SMN i have never once missed an attack. my BLM has 324 ACC, and has never once missed an attack through a level 50 dungeon. on the other hand, my WAR has 574 ACC and STILL rarely misses in a level 50 dungeon.

TBH SCH doesn't rlly need accuracy... i think the only skills they use that can even miss are ruin ruin 2 and broil ... and broil can only be used in HW areas which are tuned with the lower accuracy of the gear in mind...
edit: almost forgot energy drain...(i rarely use it)

[DarkerOrange]

and Miasma and Aero. We do need ACC. E-drain missing is a big deal.

Yes, we really do..also, YOU FORGOT energy drain? WHAT? You rarely use it? -.- Not only does it a shitload of damage it also gives back mp the same time..I take a guess and say you don't main SCH
You really do NOT want to miss that drain.
And as DarkerOrange mentioned..all our dps skills need acc to hit..
In the new content you REALLY do want your SCH to help with dps.
