    Accuracy: Can it just go away?

    So here's the scenario:

    You just got a sweet new piece of gear, right? You put it on, head into your next raid and you go beat up the bo-...Oh, you missed, messing up your rotation and your dps plummets. You look at your gear like you've been looking at those excel sheets from accounting, trying to find where the numbers went wrong. Oh, look! That chest piece you just got rid of had 77 accuracy on it! Welp, looks like you can't wear the new one! Time to put on that old piece of junk and keep trucking along until you get ANOTHER piece of new gear that can make up for the loss!

    All that fun aside, I'll get down to the point:

    Accuracy is an un-fun, un-necessary stat, and should be removed entirely.

    Or they could add a way to modify stats. I've been really wanting something like that since I started playing this game...

    It made no sense to me for a game to have accuracy caps, and yet have no way to modify your secondary stats to meet said caps. (I'd also love to reforge all my spell speed on scholar into crit, hue hue..)

    And give everything 100% hit rate? No.

    I see where you're coming from, but after personally having to deal with the vomit that was WoW's reforging system, I'd rather not do that. It's almost just as bad, instead of having to keep older, weaker gear to keep accuracy, you'd have to go "reforge" nearly every piece of your equipment just to min-max your stats after each new piece you get.

    Why? It all has 100% hit rate anyway once you reach the accuracy cap.

    Or...... you might look at gear before buying it and get BiS mixing Eso and Alex Savage gear.

    Cuz it makes moves like Featherfoot and DA Dark Dance completely useless. I'm not down for everything in the world hitting when I'm like 50 levels above mobs.

    You're missing the point. You don't get all that BiS gear at once, do you? Do you also control what drops in Alex Savage? No. Personally, I've already mapped out my BiS gear, and the order I'll be getting it. Unfortunately, with ACC so heavily weighted on just a few select pieces, it's hard to choose a meaningful upgrade path.

    You might argue "Well then just get the pieces with ACC first" Ok...So that'd work, in theory, but then here I am sitting at like 700 ACC, which is in the realm of 50~ or some odd wasted secondary stats.
