Maybe a re-evaluiation on accuracy in Savage Alexander [Casters need not read]

Your move, book person. *puts feet on desk*

And healer dps is only really needed if you're trying to meet dps checks when you're below the recommended Ilvl (IE, cutting edge, world first progression)

You...know that means they're right...right? "Flank cap" includes rear; cap is only different from the front.

And pet base accuracy is also boosted. And I'm pretty sure rear has a lower accuracy cap than flank...only it's a pointless value because melee needs to hit from flanks anyway for their positional.

As far as I understand it, rear accuracy is what some sources consider the accuracy cap for BLM (or spells I figure).

And BLM caps are lower than those of the flank. Even if it weren't separate accuracy caps, SMN pets still have boosted base accuracy so the summoner having BLM accuracy would still suffice for their pets.

Accuracy is pointless.

Just another artificial difficulty gate. It prevents too many Jobs from being able to equip optimal gear as they have to juggle this silly accuracy value.

The sad thing is they thought they were being cool by removing accuracy from weapons and lowering the amount of accuracy required overall and are like "hey look guys! We fixed the accuracy itemization problems!".

I guess everyone at SE plays dps as monk and dragoon? Since those are the only dps Jobs loaded with accuracy at the moment.

Flank refers to the sides only. (It is the definition of "flank", after all.)
Rear accuracy requirements are lower than flank.

If you think Accuracy is hilarious, you should check out healers. Sub 400 Acc. XD Maybe all our characters secretly need glasses? All that flying in Heavensward caused some vision problems, I guess.

(In all seriousness, Aero III missing in A2S makes me so mad.)

Incorrect. If you can dps, there's no reason to not do it. Healer dps is helpful and there is no downside to it unless you're bad at it.
I would never raid with a scholar who didn't DPS. It's disgusting.

I must say though I'm so sick of miasma and energy drain missing. Cleric stance needs to give accuracy already....

I never said that you didn't need to dps. I said it's only needed (as in, mandatory) to meet dps checks if you're trying to do cutting edge progression because your dps is acutally below the ilvl the content was designed to be cleared with.

I find it kinda Ironic.

Tanks get tank stance buffed with +5% accuracy so they only need flank/rear accuracy cap. Then they design the fights that melee now needs front accuracy cap >.< Albeit with secondaries having a much smaller impact point for point now usinng accuracy food is probably more beneficial to get the cap.

BTW, does anyone know A4(S) front accuracy? I'm guessing about 650-655.
