SMN Accuracy Cap- Only post if you have numbers.

[Zynyx]

Hey everyone,

I have read the myriad of posts that all disagree with one another about what exactly the SMN Accuracy cap for turn 5 is. I am a summoner currently working on turn 5 and I have the opportunity to switch between some allagans and AF pieces as it is the only class I've really been gearing.

What I would like to know is who, if anyone, has actual numbers to back up their claim that XXX is the accuracy cap for summoners. Also, is the cap for summoners and BLM's the same?

I have sat here trying to parse it out on the level 50 dummies, but I'm pretty sure that isn't the same as on Twintania.

Please refrain from posting if all you have to say is "I heard from some guy somewhere it is XXX." I'm not asking for perfection, just citation of sources... Even if it is your own personal parser.

With 450 accuracy, both my SMN and Garuda 100% Twintania.

Same for me.

As 2 other numbers:

442 was 97.5%

415 was ~70%. I didn't get a completely accurate number because I used it for 2 attempts before it was too much of a loss.


Edit: The cap for SMN and BLM is the same. That is, the player.

SMN pet has a higher accuracy cap.

Yes, it's better(and more DPS) to gear for pet accuracy.

Just thought I'd mention I've completed turn 5 twice in a row now without any issues at 400 acc using +21acc from stuffed cabbage. We usually beat it with 1 - 2 min left before the enrage timer. I would prefer to have more accuracy if the allagan pants ever drop, but there's really no issue completing the hardest content in the game with time to spare with less acc.

Also, though it's not reliable at all and I LB3 at the snake part, I usually parse the highest DPS in the group (not counting the pet).

It would be better to be closer to the ACC cap, but it's easily do-able even at ~400 acc with stuffed cabbage (+21 acc) when you don't get the drops you need from coil.

Okay then, follow-up questions:

When a dot misses, since they all run on an internal timer, do all of your dots miss? Or is it an individual dot that misses?

For that matter, is it the dot tick that can miss or is it the application?

[Zynyx]

Another thought, is it perhaps BOTH of those that can miss?

[Zynyx]

Bump for an answer!

[xxalucard]

Dots cannot miss "tics" once cast on a target.

Bio and Bio II cannot miss because they do not do any initial damage on a target, neither can contagion.

I have no idea how much my pet actually misses, as there is too much going on to really tell, but for the most part despite the "excessively low" accuracy I have I hardly ever see garuda miss hitting a conflag I'm in or a dreadknight while I'm stunned and have the time to notice.

From this week, turn 1 to 5 in order at 443 accuracy. All turns seem to have the same cap, except for 2 for some odd reason. Could be rng but considering the other turns have pretty steady results it seems weird.

Yes, it's also possible to do turn 5 as a SMN with a bunch of darklight pieces on, it doesn't mean it's optimal or worth aiming for.
