Accuracy, a poorly designed stat

[Shadowzanon]

Just sayin, if you hate your dark light gives you way more acc than needed (intended to ease the transistion into ilvl 90 gear as even caster dps puts them way over the cap also) You can invest into your gatorskin set. 11 runs or so of wp or ak will get you enough points to buy the most expensive ingredient for the crafted gear and the money you make from killing mobs covers the rest of the materials needed. You can mix and match pieces till you get the desired stats you want, before even touching coils.

I have mostly i90 gear and some crafted stuff. I know how to get around the problem, thing is, it's a problem, more so.
Darklight having too much ACC for anybody is a wasted stat, sure. However, as a counterargument, darklight tank gear has almost no accuracy. In my early days of coil it was an issue that the tank was missing combos more than the tank dying.
If anything the downgrade of accuracy makes the transition from i70 to i90 tougher than it should be.
I'm just going with logic, higher dungeons need higher gear that has higher ACC cap. It's the logic implication.
As it's implemented it's just an arbitrary number you need and that'll define your gear.

Aye about all of the dps sets seem to have waaay over the ammount of acc even needed to do coils. I am just guessing it is probably ment that way as you transition into ilvl 90 gear. yeah i got some crafted ones and im scratching the cap currently, if i were to get the chest not even food would put me on the cap which may prompt me to use some of my darklight gear or wait till i can get the leggings to compensate for my acc loss. i have been switching alot of my melding around as i gain new pieces but even im running out of options. depends on what drops in coils tommorow i may have a big problem stored for me. cant by nothing via myth points till next week .

I feel it's a hidden way to hold back people from gearing to soon.
RNG on coils assures you won't be getting the parts you need and you can only get so much with myth so in the end you're stuck waiting for RNG to give you the parts with ACC if ever.

Accuracy/hit rating etc is an outdated and boring stat. No one likes it, so why put it in a game?

[Velev]

i totally agree with the Op. Acc needs either better implementing by having it on lvl90 gear or be removed totally.

Seems like it was just thrown in there last minute.

If you lose acc, which you do swapping from DL to ilvl90, then why make acc such an important stat ONLY on coil and on nothing else before that?

Clearly something is wrong here..

I disagree with removing accuracy, it's like wanting to eat the cookie and have it.
For accuracy starved people, you'd have to do the trade off of hitting for just a wee bit weaker, but getting off all hits instead (crucial for combo classes).
Classes that don't depend on combos, having misses is not as crucial (but still a loss of damage).

I for one like the idea of swapping pieces for certain situations, you can now have BiS gear for damage, or swap some pieces out required to get all hits off in that situation.

The loss of other attributes is not huge loss of damage because of how primary stats were designed. It's not that people CHOOSE to loss accuracy, you just do out of upgrading your gear from i70 to i90. Very rarely will i90 will have more accuracy which is just contradictory to progress. Not to mention, it's only important for coil right now and it's discarded on the rest of the content.
As it is, some i90 pieces are untouchable for certain classes due to this implementation of ACC.
Truth is, it's badly implemented and it needs changing at least, removing it altogether would be because they can't find a way to make ACC a real stat.

There is no "need" to upgrade to higher ilvl eq if it gimps your function.
Said +ilvl equipment might be better for another fight? Dress for the occasion, in the same manner you prolly wouldn't show up in your jammies or worn clothes for a high profile job interview, unless he casting for a hobo role in a movie

Accuracy is fine as it is, the main issue isnt that 1 stat.

The main and biggest issue at the moment is the complete lack of gearing options and/or gearing customization.

There is no reforging to adjust your stats, no gemming(materia) to socket on ilvl90 gears, and only 2 options for ilvl 90 which means your BiS is very linear and set. What stats you have is nearly completely dictated by SE and not by the players.
