oh thanks T0rin

And, regardless, it's irrelevant because, although I need to personally test it, someone pointed out earlier that a SCH using the Fairy buffs also resets our pet.

This means we'll have to wear an ACC set at all times, with the only possibility being changing AF+1 boots to Allagan*.


*Unless the DPS gained from the piece outweighs the DPS lost from the pet missing, but this just isn't viable on some fights where one miss can mean a wipe, and especially not during progression.

Mmmmh... so what is the accuracy cap for the summoner and not the pet ? Is it better to cap only for the summoner or to get capped for the pet ? What is our BIS then ?

ACC cap for the SMN is 430-435. I know at 435 I have 100% accuracy, some others have reported as low as 432?

Pet is most likely ~450. 442 is a 97.5% hit rate. 415 is ~75-80% hit rate.


No one knows BiS at the moment, due to not being able to accurately parse and new information readily coming out.

Thanks ! I always thought it was 442 for the smn. I have 449 acc... I'll test my pet tomorrow in Coil to see if he miss. Thanks again Kevee =)

It's pretty hard to take stat weights seriously right now, and while broad claims such as crit is better than spell speed are easy to accept, assigning numbers to stats when people are still fumbling around to try to figure out damage formulas and aren't even sure how some of these stats scale is overreaching quite a bit.

I didn't know this about the pet acc! Thanks for sharing ^^ Looks like I'll be getting my myth legs after all XD

Heyo, I just wanted to point out that unless you are playing suboptimally, there is virtually 0 increase in DoT uptime with increase of SS.

It should not be a factor.

That said, SS is nice, because you only need a small percentage (you only need to shave 0.03 seconds, then 0.028, etc, seconds off) of SS in order to gain one additional GCD per 3 minutes or so.

1 GCD is worth at least 80 potency, and 80 potency is a half a percent dps increase.

Doesn't seem like much, but its definitely an increase, no matter how little it seems, and even if we're only using the extra GCD for a ruin.

For people saying DET sucks...well how come when Titan gives us that DET down move it gimps us badly? >.> Honest question lol

[Seobit]

Guessing the mechanics of it don't exactly have anything to do with DET itself. There are many things in this game that don't work the way their tooltips say they should.
