Need moar spellspeed.

Just turn around when they cast it. I wouldn't cross class a skill that would only slightly raise your acc for one attack on one pull in one dungeon.

It'll still hit you even if you are turned around. It isn't a gaze attack.

Besides I'm asking if the properties of Hawk's Eye bypass Blind. Does it?

I'd have to test it to be certain but off the top of my head, I think only invulnerability defeats Hawk's Eye.

Besides, it's still a better cross class ability than anything from ACN...

It is a gaze attack. I confirmed this multiple times. As for the Hawks, it should work.

If you are talking about the Mysterious Light ability, then yes, you most definitely can dodge the attack by turning around, so not sure what you are talking about.

Umm......Virus and Eye for an Eye are great utility.

Perhaps it came out too quickly and I wasn't fast enough.

If your goal is to get a sorta BiS with 220-230 gear without overmelds, I can't tell you off the top of my head, but Lore Pants are BIS, so buy those. I would say the crafted bracket and one crafted ring are also really great. Crafted belt is also nice, but the Crafted Chest is the best chest you get until A8S. Since it'd be awhile for that, I recommend pentamelding the chest piece at least. This is my current set. No luck yet with any drops in savage.

Thanks Garotte, this is what I what I came up with http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/THE7 Though I may swap the lore chest for the crafted one for the added SS

Some gaze checks are time of use (end of cast), some are time of animation (or perhaps indistinguishably shortly before; in any of these cases, you would need to be looking away beforehand to ensure it's registered server-side). If there is a gaze attack in Heavensward that isn't end of cast, I'm not remembering it right now.

"Useful in the specific case that you have an AST healer and no SMN DD buddy" is just barely more useful than "for one specific attack in one dungeon".

The first boss in Amdapor City HM happens at the time of damage.

Eye for and Eye is always useful and normal Virus is useful on things that don't need INT down. All of that applies even when you have both SMN and a SCH. Now Physick on the other hand...
