    Good valid point. Your Damage you've put out is quite impressive it's nice to see that with the proper gearing you can hold hate with great dmg like a Warrior can .
    What exactly is the breakdown of the gear in your offensive set up?


    Also on the subject of healing potency and Mind, that's pretty interesting. It may work out really well for 2.0 content, But I can see it just making your WHMs even more bored than they already are :P

    There is a lot of stupid in this thread.

    Accuracy is a fantastic stat to have on weap: arguably superior to enmity. In any situation where your accuracy is underneath the softcap required to reliably hit a mob, accuracy is far more of a stable and reliable stat than enmity. Any time you're underneath that accuracy threshold, you severely devalue enmity as well (enmity at 70% hit rate is worth a LOT less than enmity at 100% hit rate, nevermind issues with missed combos causing early hate loss and massive potential damage lost).

    Additionally, there are literally a ton of spots with which you can gear for enmity: neck, earrings, bracelet, belt, gloves and chest are all commonly used for +enmity, or can be swapped if you need more enmity. However, if you're underneath the acc cap for a boss, what options do you have? You're forced to equip 2x Acc Rings (this will cause a MAJOR drop in whatever primary stat rings you're using) and at least two more pieces of Acc (probably an explorer's choker and a pair of accuracy gloves; again, very painful as you're losing a ton of enmity from heavy darklight or militia choker). As you can see, being below Accuracy cap is far more significant of an issue than having a lack of enmity, which is comparatively easy to acquire.

    TLDR; accuracy on our weap is probably better than enmity, and if you don't see why that's the case you probably don't deserve a relic in the first place.

    Awesome! That's pretty much what I want my PLD to look like once I can go for double-melding my own cobalt plate. I'm relieved to see that it's viable. Thanks for sharing.
