Where Is Lancer's Accuracy?

[Danniedeadboy]

The ACC doesn't really bother me on Lancer, i'm currently ranked 40, and my stats are based on half DEX and STR. I find myself doing more Crit Damage than my 50 Archer, I begin with Speed Surge and Invigorate and switch to Life Surge before Weapon Skill I don't use Hawk's Eye and rarely miss with my Weapon Skill although I imagine that will change when it comes to NMs, but then again i rather fight NMs with my Archer.

You can also use an ability to boost acc during a battle regiment. I usually do that *keen flurry?* along with hawk eyes, raging strike, and ferocity. By that time the mages would have spells up and DD's starting to stack ws for regiment of doom? *the big damage one* I rarely miss when all 4 buffs are up.

I've wondered this too, granted speed/life surge and feint help, but doesn't justify why I miss with a light thrust 2~5 times for every hit, even when I'm using a spear that is within my optimal rank, and against an even match enemy.

when i WS i do this . Ferocity 2 , Rageing Strike , then i get behind my tank and i use Colusion then i use Doomspike 2 usualy or ill use moonrise 2 . Or another WS depends on situation. And it adds str and a little acc to my WS and i only miss maybe 3/10 times. ( i dont have twisting vice or chaos thrust so i havent tested it with ferocity 2 and rangeing strike combo ) I allways have life surge up.

Other then that i like Lancer only other class i like other then lancer would be Archer because multi shot is freaking godly.

On NMs: My DEX is around 114 -122, STR is around 126-132

Main Skills: Hawk's Eye, Still Precision II, Keen Flurry.

My WS miss rate is about 2/10, Normal Attack miss rate is about 3/10.

My ACC is not a problem at 50, i think the most trouble i had was around rank 30-42, mostly because i sometimes forget to activate Life Surge(Increased Duration, Can I Have It!?).

Why would you not use Hawk's Eye? You still miss. This would help.

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!

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

Someone parsed the info and put it in that excel sheet. If you want to know the specifics of testing and etc., the post came from this player, who is unfortunately no longer playing FFXIV due to life circumstances:

His blog still has several pages talking about food, it's creation, and it's effects if you would like more detailed information. It only displays the 5 most recent blog posts (he has 9) but once you open one there's a list on the right with all 9.
