Accuracy: Can it just go away?

[Craiger]

I want it gone too, or changed... but they need to still have another stat, cause we already have so few stats, and getting rid of Accuracy would just make things more boring in terms of gear.

It least it gives us something to always keep in mind while determining what gear is best to get, and if you get a drop from Savage, you might have to actively think about how you're gearing.

What happens if they just remove accuracy? You'll know exactly what gear to buy the coming months right off the bat, and it doesn't really matter what drops during raids, because it won't affect you...

Like I said, I don't like accuracy, but they would have to come up with some new stat that makes things more interesting and not so straight forward.

Can't really come up with a stat that would be interesting right now, but I'm sure someone else are better at coming up with stuff like that.

...

I mean the Player's accuracy cap...Not the NPC...

You can't give players 100% hit rate and then expect the mobs to be able to miss.

Accuracy is a stat that makes you make choices. It's one of the few stats that you need a certain level before you start min/maxing other stats. So it has a purpose.

and while you are at it : DELETE PARRY ASWELL and replace it with a useful NOT RNG based stat. like crit resist on tank gears.

You don't have really a choice since you need to have the recommended accuracy to be viable on savage. You will have the same bis gear like everyone else, unless you have crafted gear.

It doesn't make choices, it limits them.

And why not, players with a chance to miss in high level content almost gaurantees the party is not clearing, a mob with a chance to miss(which isn't at all that likely to begin with) is still a threat.

You're missing the point. You don't get all that BiS gear at once, do you? Do you also control what drops in Alex Savage? No. Personally, I've already mapped out my BiS gear, and the order I'll be getting it. Unfortunately, with ACC so heavily weighted on just a few select pieces, it's hard to choose a meaningful upgrade path.

You might argue "Well then just get the pieces with ACC first" Ok...So that'd work, in theory, but then here I am sitting at like 700 ACC, which is in the realm of 50~ or some odd wasted secondary stats.

More like almost 200 wasted stat for casters for the first two floors of savage.

Nope, I don't meld anything. SE said if they deemed it an issue, they will start giving gear with more accuracy. Why get rid of it? We already have like at best 2 or 3 stats that matter. Stop trying to simplify this game more than what it already is. Pumping everything in one stat is dumb enough as it is as a game design.



10% at best.

My accuracy is 350 more or less. I need 180 more accuracy to hit the cap in Savage.

No it doesn't. There are no gearing choices. You take the ilvl upgrade regardless (Unless you're bad) and supplement it with a food buff. As I mentioned earlier, you end up with way more than you need with no way to drop it with how it comes on gear. It has no point outside of Savage raiding anyway, the caps are so low in other content that it makes no sense to even consider it.

It has no purpose. It's a pointless filler stat that is used as a cheap "gate" to keep people that are undergeared from running Savage. Use DPS checks and enrage mechanics instead of pointless numbers that become meaningless after a certain threshold if you want to gate raiders.

People already complain about clearing content very fast in a day or so. Accuracy is there to make it a handicap. Done. XI stat system is way better than what we have now.

Then remove accuracy from caster gear. Give them magic accuracy, like we had in 1.x
