How2LNC the Carraway Way

Random ?: With Our Accuracy the way it is now, why not use Iron Will IV on the legs instead of Swords Cry IV?

Valid point for 1.19, but looking at the action list for 1.20, accuracy may indeed become a factor again -- at least for one particular combo chain, the one that ends with Chaos Thrust.

[Krausus]

I'm hoping you can double up on the chain and do the accuracy increasing combo first to negate the low accuracy of the chaos thrust combo

Interesting point from the patch notes, apparently Piety goes towards affecting Lancer attack power.

I think it only affects the damage of auto-attack. Unless they plan on re-itemizing a bunch of LNC-appropriate gear I don't see how making PIE important makes sense.

That was my original thought too, but also from the patch notes:

Piety

Magic Evasion
Enfeebling Magic Potency
Maximum MP
Damage dealt by archer, lancer, thaumaturge, and conjurer arms

Blarp is right, it's AA that it affects. I'm gonna blame fat fingers even though I'm not fat.

They actually already have something in this vein if you check out the Tortoiseshell Scale Male, it comes with +Att & + PTY. I don't think it'll make or break anything, but it may prove useful depending on how well PTY affects AA.

[Krausus]

how I'm thinking it might work is for AA the main stat effecting it is PIE while STR also effects it but at a lower rate. For Weapon skills STR is the main stat effecting it while PIE does as well but at a lower rate.

Piety actually already affects LNC damage output at a slightly worse ratio than 1:1 to STR (PIE is worth slightly less, point-for-point). One of our guys, Ogun, did some brief testing with 25 PIE vs 25 STR for us. PIE affects both auto-attack and WS as of 1.19.
