List "Recommended Accuracy" For Content?

[Ashkendor]

No. The less the game tells us about how damage works the better. That way leads to eliteism.

To be fair, people experiment in different content and find the accuracy caps within a reasonable margin of error (1 or 2 points + or -) anyway. People that use parsers can see how many times someone missed in combat as well. I don't really see how knowing what the optimal accuracy cap for content would lead to eliteism [sic], it'd simply be providing some fairly necessary information ingame instead of sending people to google or reddit to search it out when they notice their combos are breaking.

This should only apply to raid level content where accuracy really only matters. But I agree that it should be implemented. Also keep in mind that not every class requires the same amount of accuracy.

I agree. Players should not have to go outside of the game on a website to get an invisible number so they can do certain content

@Lego3400- How would it lead to elitism? If anything it would help combat elitism. Because people could use the invisible out-of-game accuracy number to judge if someone cannot do content. If the instance itself, told the player directly that they need a certain accuracy amount, that's helping them. It would be entirely on that player if they do not read the tip. A tip mind you

@KitingGenbu- Yeah it'd have less of an effect on non-raid content, I agree however, it would still allow for more armor setups. You wont have to wonder what the cap is, you'd know the cap. And can maximize performance by dropping unnecessary accuracy for gear. I know I would. Max Crit/Det!

And SE could just make the Accuracy recommendation change visually depending on role like:

Tank: Recommended Accuracy- 480
Melee DPS: Recommended Accuracy- 465
Ranged DPS: Recommended Accuracy- 470
Caster: Recommended Accuracy- 420

Here's the problem. If it's about player discussion and sharing their findings, a lot of the grey areas in regards to parsers dip into this. Not to mention it effectively shuts out non-PC players in this regard too.

As a Scholar, I have to disagree. The gear is already pretty limited in this game, so to have to sacrifice other stats in order to reach accuracy requirements...

The secondary stats in general really need to be redone. All of them provide so little benefit by the point, unless you're going out of the way to stack one or the other. The other problem wit haccuracy, especially for physical, is that the adds also use the same accuracy as the boss itself; there are times where you have to hit from the front and there's really nothing more demoralizing missing your 3rd combo hit because you didn't stack an absurdly high amount of accuracy.

Not to mention with how they scale accuracy/evasion, you'll always need more accuracy as the content goes up, so it never becomes "easier" to reach the cap. Even before they got rid of accuracy/expertise in WoW, I felt they handled it a bit better when you always needed a flat percentage (which meant a static amount of hit rate and expertise) to ensure that you didn't miss provide you weren't attacking from the front. That made each ilvl increase feel stronger because that meant more points you could dedicate to other stats instead of having to get more and more hit rate/expertise.
