    Where Is Lancer's Accuracy?

    You can use other abilities, like Hawkeye, you can max out dex, stack this and that and still miss your weapon skill on an all too common basis. I would love to find out if other lancers are having this problem and or if now what your strategy is. If you don't have this problem can you help by sharing your build. Thank you!

    Thank you!
    (No I am not a Lancer but I hear this time and time again and see it at LS events.) I would love something to help some of my friends that are lancers.

    I thought MRD was worse.

    There's still precision and LifeSurge, hawkeye and probably a couple more options not to even mention Acc food but everyone misses.

    I'm still sad that Lancer main can't have feint at 250tp.

    In NM fight, I usually only miss around 4/100 WS. Maybe trying to increase your DEX? I have a reasonable amount of DEX because I'm also a Goldsmith. HQ weapon also helps, My Banneret Lance has more ACC than Halberd or Champion.

    my friend runs a parse for our NM runs and he says everyone is about at 7-9% miss and the mob evades around 10% we just feel the miss real hard since we attack so slow lol.

    I don't miss too often; you have to take into consideration stat caps, weapon, and food.

    I'm at Rank 26 with 82(85) DEX, and the cap for R26 is 94. Although, I got it to 82 for R22 cap (82), and left it there to focus on some other stats, because there is always Feint and I want a more even build, geared towards the DoW end.

    I'm also using an Iron Spear? (or Lance, I can't remember), but that weapon is at cap for me which will also provide the max boost, and the same for my armor, etc.

    I also use Grilled Carp, which adds to Accuracy! I still miss, but nowhere near as much as I used to. I think, with this system, it really boils down to getting gear that gives the biggest boost (usually gear at/near your current Rank).

    Hope this helps!

    Edit: Oh, links!

    How do you know what food adds to acc? Did they finally add an indicator in game?

    I have heard a few people saying exactly what you're saying. However I just think they're playing it wrong (no offence). I'm a Lancer and "I'm lovin' it" in the words of Mr McDonald. I personally don't have a problem with accuracy and believe I miss just as much as any another class (maybe not pug but come on...). Yes, I do use Hawkeye now for the big weapon skills but I didn't before and it was still reasonable, miss here, miss there, nothing to worry about.

    There are 5 abilities that alleviate this.

    Life Surge (evasion debuff)
    Hawk's Eye (for WS's)
    Still Precision (at the beggining of battle for faster TP)
    Keen Flurry (for WS's in BR)
    Feint (100% ACC)

    Have a high DEX, 4 ACC rings, ACC food and you will miss a lot less.

    Also, if you do the aforementioned and still think you are missing too much, set Absorb EVA on your bar (THM 18)
