    I have 368 accuracy (only gear with it is a Flame Sergeant's Sash) and I usually 100% on Ifrit/95+ on anything else. Considering the fact that missing grants you a buttload of TP for another go, I don't understand why anyone would stack accuracy on this job. Just my two cents. :V

    With that much acc you are not hitting 100% of the time (or even 95+ on everything else or even close). Doing tests you will notice that your Normal WS' actually do more dmg then your miss WS'. To make matters even worse Full Thrust and disembowl are on 30s recast timers, and if you are missing enough to activate those a lot then you aren't even using them half the time while lowing your DPS because you know, you are missing and also not building TP for other WS's because you are missing. Also considering if you are missing enough to activate those all the time you can ALSO miss using them.

    Now take into account that your normal WS' do more then full thrust/feint/disembowl. You do not want those to miss. Now if you have the TP and miss a normal attack obviously it would be ideal to use them, BUT, the fact you would have to gear to miss instead of not hit, that increases the chances of missing your real WS' which isn't good and like I said, you end up missing more while waiting for full thrust/disembowl to even come off CD.

    Like I said before, due to missing being RNG, it is not optimal to actually gear towards trying to miss. It is better to just not miss at all.

    Really? Show me some proof please, because that is very interesting if you are hitting 100% of the time with 368 acc. Would make me think about my setup a little more.

    Please parse Garuda also since I don't care about Ifrit.
