accuracy and parry removed in 4.0!

[Riardon]

Everything on tonight's Live Letter was a step into the right direction.
The skill and stat changes and the PvP changes.
I'm happy with everything that was announced.
Even If I'm not very pro-jump potion if this will result into more people flowing into XIV then so be it.

I'm just curious as to what will happen to things that have accuracy on them already.

My guess would be the actual gear is given their role-equivalent. DPS get Direct Hit, Tanks Tenacity, and Healers Piety. IF this ends up true then expect tanks to have some sky-high secondaries...

Piety gear will remain the same probably, because Healer gear has no accuracy currently.

I have acc melds and acc on my anima as a SCH, it is kinda relevant to me.

For the start of SB, anyways. I know later on not so much of an issue, but right now?

I missed the section regarding sub stats. So lemme get this straight...

STR is now a thing for tanks again?

Older gear probably, but yeah, everything except for Healer Relic 3.0 doesn't have accuracy

They kept mentioning 'On Gear', so I'd HOPE they don't screw up melds...

Ugh, sounded like that... really they need to make tanks use ONLY VIT...

Melds are what I am least worried about, though. If SB works like HW did, the anima will last quite a while, but with accuracy no longer needed, the 120 points into it are basically wasted.

But seeing as they said (paraphrasing here) "Accuracy and Parry are being removed from gear, Tanks will get Tenacity, DPS Direct Hit, and Piety becomes Healer-Only on gear" I'd HOPE it would be a direct change over... we'll find out June 16th

My guess is that the Accuracy will just get voided on your weapon and you'll be able to allocate the stats to whatever else. But I could be wrong.
