    Tank CT Gear gives no accuracy?

    I guess I wasnt paying attention when I was equipping all of my CT gear on my Tank, didnt come to realize it was giving me 0 accuracy bonuses. Did I seriously just waste 4 weeks on drops for gear that I'm going to have to revert back to darklight for? Thanks again SE

    This really belongs in the tank forums. Anyway, lets not go all chicken little over this.

    You currently have 403 accuracy, which is sufficient for the content you would be doing on your character. Remember that the 470ish accuracy cap is for turn 5, which has a significant accuracy boost requirement over turn 4. It has been a long time since I've had to concern myself with accuracy caps on the early coil turns but I can say you are fine accuracy wise, especially after the recent enmity buffs. If you're not doing coil, or have no plans to, then your acc is fine.

    I also wouldn't suggest switching back to darklight even if you are missing 1 in 20 times, the extra vitality is too important.

    Staying alive and keeping hate are your main concerns after all.

    It is a strange problem, typically gear is supposed to prepare you for the next level of content and the armor of light would actually be a downgrade from darklight/darksteel for coil

    Use jewels that provide accuracy.

    Downgrade is a bold statement.

    If you're not having enmity problems, how is it a downgrade?

    I'm not trying talk about optimal situations, where gear is perfect. If you're having a problem, you need to figure out the source of your problem. If you are having enmity issues, then yes, you should gear for more accuracy even at the expense of some health. If you're having no enmity problems but survivability problems, light amour would be better due to increased survivability. This is all in context of the OP.

    What I'm saying is, OP should not be having serious enmity issues, due to a great deal of missed hits, within the content he is conceptually doing.

    It wasn't a waste at all, you can use it as vanity which is way cooler than HDL and what Alwryn said.

    Like someone else says you only need accuracy 475 for Coil 4-5 for anything else you dont really need that much. Its kinda like a bit more oriented on dmg that set of gear and its not a downgrade from Dark Light. Use Accesories with some acc and voila.

    Use your myth tomes for body (BiS) and head (since head drops in turn 4 and RNG is a bitch).

    When you do coil you have no excuse for not using food so just make sure it boosts your Acc and you'll be fine.

    Ironically, SE said repeatedly that CT was meant to help more casual players gear for Coil.
