Accuracy healer new gear?

[Gallus]

Is this intended? i110 gear healing gear has the same accuracy as i120? With full i110 you sit at 405 accuracy, even if you put 36 accuracy points to your Nexus weapon and eat Lava Toad legs HQ, you are still at 468 which means you don't even hit the accuracy cap for T9 (which is 470). How on earth are you supposed to meet the accuracy requirements as a healer in FCoB???

You aren't ^_^.

Same way we did when Coil2 was relevant, meld some HQ accessories.

Granted I don't see much room for healer DPS in both Turns 3 and 4 of FCoB anyhow which is where the ACC requirement skyrockets compared to the prior two where you could squeeze by fine with 470 ACC.

Well nice, as if healing wasn't boring enough already and there wasn't enough overflow of DPS classes, let's add Ninja in 2.4 and limit healing classes by completely removing their ability to DPS in both PVP and last coil.

There aren't i110 accessories, you want me to go to FCoB with i90 stuff?

The folks who already cleared the final turn didn't seem to mind. Go meld some left-column crafted if the iLvl bothers you that much.

Healers AREN'T DPS...I can't believe healers are whining that their DPS is being hurt.. You aren't even going to have TIME to DPS in Final Coil until your raid group gears up anyways. Would absolutely flip if the tank dropped because the healer just had to squeeze in an Aero... Healers have DPS abilities so they can survive solo. If your raid needs more DPS and you seem to have time to DPS perhaps you can solo heal and bring an extra ACTUAL DPS. Otherwise yes...you just have to meld some accessories. If you want to DPS you're going to take a hit to your healing potency. Not sure why everyone wants their favorite class to be able to have their cake and eat it too. If tanks want to push damage they have to equip STR accessories that cause them to loose defensive ability to an extent. DPS take a hit to their damage with melded accessories to survive HP checks.

Why the hell are healers concerned about the accuracy cap??? to the point of whining about it in the forums!!

Like someone already said, I really doubt any WHM will have time to do the stance dance until the group overgears content. This topic is MADNESS. MADNESS.
And if you show me a healer geared towards being a hybrid DPS I'll say this guy is a lousy healer.

Explain why did they put accuracy in healer gear back then? You are only a healer you are supposed to heal, why on earth do you even need accuracy for? I'll tell you, SE wanted healers to contribute to DPS whenever possible to make the healing job less shallow and boring (healing is 2 buttons), but somehow they changed their mind and 2.4 is a proof of that. I don't care if they want healers to DPS or not to DPS, what pisses me off is this constant change of tendency. In First coil it was very hard to meet the acc requirements as a healer, then in scob it was easy and now in fcob it's almost impossible again. Wth? Can they make up their mind already? I don't think it's asking much honestly, there are SCHs that have spent hundreds of hours and millions of gil allocating 30+ points of accuracy in their Nexus, what do you exactly tell to these people? "Hey, your accuracy is useless now because SE no longer feels healers should be able to DPS in endgame content".
