What I have noticed fiddling with ariyala is that SE makes a lot of gear that produces results that always find yourself at acc 1 single ploint below ACC cap for pet.
    Oh, isnt rear acc for T13 515? @ 100%
    I figured 99.34% would be good enough to mess around with.

    It is but, I don't think pets go that low as well. I would say that the difference between rear and flank for pets on ACC is within 2 points of each other to be safe, which some may say, well what's the point then?

    The point is what you can get from that 1 or 2 points of ACC that you can produce with the current gear. If it's absolutely worth the trade off to add in the risk factor, then do so as it will boost you in the end more often then not.

    I don't expect anyone to follow to the T everything I claim and make builds around that. Everyone should do personal testing on things. I can only tell you the things I do to increase my DPS and stretch my builds to the limit. I'm sure there are people out there who pull very good SMN numbers perhaps even better then my own and at least I would like to know what they were pulling as well using theories / builds they've put together.

    Leviathan Server DPS Doc
    The gambles I made lead to these numbers before echo which some of these you have seen on the SMN DPS Doc outside of the T10 and T11.

    Feeling out each point you add or subtract in your builds week after week is key to finding those optimal setups. I also kept trying new ways to increase my DPS passed what other people were doing on the SMN Doc, which is nice to see people somewhat elaborate on what they do.

    You are right. Pets accuracy is much different in general. I thought that their damage was just considered flank damage regardless of position so as for the reason for the higher accuracy requirement. Testing at the base accuracy on a lvl 50 dummy it turns out they are just so much lower in general.

    Ifrit - 341 accuracy
    Front 90%
    Flank 94.8%
    Rear 100%

    Tested against other classes.

    Front 94.8%
    Flank 100%
    Rear 100%

    So that 515 min for rear acc would only give Ifrit about 95%

    What does your Egi rotation on T10 and 11 look like ? Do you use Garuda full time on T10 and Ifrit on T11 or do you switch the Egi's mid fights ?

    I use Ifrit on both T10 and T11 full time and constantly use his skills. I used to switch to Garuda for the add phase in T11 but using Ifrit on that phase and putting him on the melee node is still superior. I have a second caster in my current setup so I just do egg and melee node now.
