    Turn 2 accuracy cap?

    I see a lot of information here on accuracy needed for turns 4-5 but don't know what the accuracy cap should be for turn 2. I ran turn 2 yesterday and the BLM had 415 accuracy and was missing on both the trash nodes and the ADS. One miss on the ADS was a blizzard 3, which left him with no mana and no stacks. After we finished he immediately made some myth upgrades and now has 430 acc, but now we are both wondering what are the actual caps for turn 2?

    For mages it just seems to be ~435 for the whole thing. Melee start around there and keep needing more.

    My BRD was lacking some accuracy when my FC hit T2, i think with food i was around 450, and never saw a miss. I would say just get about 450 and you should be perfectly fine as a physical dps. magical i have no advice or knowledge on though, my appologies.

    As a PLD, I went in with 445, and missed every other Rage of Halone. So thats roughly 83.3% accuracy.

    Sometimes i miss a bit more, but never less than that. So it may be lower.

    I haven't touched it with 450 accuracy yet.

    (I know in Caduceus, I had 435 acc, and missed every other ability, resulting in fast blade being the only attack to land. Some say it was bad RNG luck, but its been too common on my PLD, until I finally got more acc from myth gear.)

    For melee caps are as followed:
    Front - 482ish
    Flank - 458
    Rear - 435
    Omnidirectional spells - 435
    Magical dps - 435 (May be this because it is considered omni directional, won't know until SE actually comments on acc caps)

    Bard may work the same way as melee dps but I haven't done or seen enough testing to comment on that.

    It's taken from the DRG's topic where it has been tested that ACC caps are directionnal. I can't link you to a perticular post as there are some pages talking of it. And that explains while tanks want a higher ACC than melee, they nearly always face the target and thus have the highest ACC requirment to meet.
    Yes BRD follow the same rules as melees, they have directionnal ACC caps.

    I just started reading about the directional acc caps and appreciate the responses here. I'll have to search for the threads on this. I've been pugging coil on my bard and keep finding mages and tanks with high iLevels and no accuracy. They don't seem to think this is an issue. Personally, I'd find it pretty frustrating to miss my flare and be left sitting with no stacks and no mana, or continously lose hate on mobs, but I guess that's a matter of personal preference. -_-
