Novus weapon upgrade system findings

[Mithent]

so i am reading the Novus weapon section in the patch notes. and notice for the melee weapon, the Gae Bolg, they replace accuracy for skill speed. and also happen to read that for the Thyrus Animus and Omnilex Animus the accuracy will NOT replaced. now this seems kind of confusing for me. and though i suppose it depends on your other gear if the ACC is worth-while trade-off for Skill Speed. but i have always been under the impression Accuracy is more important for melee then casters. yes more scrolls will be ready at a later date. but +40 ACC is a lot to lose it seems to me.

Healers will keep their accuracy because, for them, it's a bonus stat that helps to stop them missing hopelessly often, rather than being an important stat to max for jobs that expect to reliably hit things every time, I'd think.

As for losing it on your weapon - it depends on the cap for what you're doing and the rest of your gear. It's important to have enough that you don't miss, but a waste to have any more than that.

right no doubt. it's just strange for me. because my main is WHM. and i have never once noticed an attack miss. not even at low levels. though i have noticed at lower level any physical user had accuracy issues. heck this is FF, i did not think magic could even be evaded. or was that blocked? it's one or the other. :/ ah well. if you don't need the accuracy, there isn't much to talk about anyhow thank you for the response.

More or less; healer weapon accuracy stays put because it's an extra "free" stat so that healers can be slightly more effective when it comes to landing dots or DPSing in hard content (since they don't otherwise gear for accuracy). That accuracy doesn't affect the stat budget for the other stats on the item. Basically, you still have 75 other stat points to customize, even with the accuracy there.
