    Pretty certain it varies from monster to monster, OP. Garuda, for example, seems to have particularly high evasion. Stacking accuracy on her is a bit more important than elsewhere. I don't think focusing on ACC is ever a waste (until you're at 100% hit rate of course) considering misses don't build TP, don't generate threat, and don't let you combo. Plus, who wants to miss a long-recast weaponskill?

    There is the law of diminishing returns. There may be a point at which you are scrificing too much damage for ACC, at which point you may hit more, but do less damage over all. For WAR damage output is boss if you're tanking or not. Honestly, a little ACC seems to go a long way.

    Brannigan's spot-on here. For average-evasion targets like Coincounter, Miser's Mistress, Chimera, and Ifrit, you shouldn't need more than ~400 accuracy, if I remember correctly.

    For higher-evasion targets like Garuda and Myrmidon Princess, you will need more. I personally go with 427 unbuffed accuracy in my DPS set and I eat stuffed cabbage against Garuda.
