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).

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

Flank and rear caps are the same. Only front is different.

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.

I wanted to buy the Eso hat for MKN this week, but due to accuracy, couldnt. as Would drop me too low for A3 that even food wouldn't get me back to cap. @600. 190 gordian cap has +47 accuracy, cap for A3 is 630.

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.

Just so you know, SMNs need the flank ACC cap for their pet and healers are being forced to DD with their abysmal ACC.
Might be worth adding to the discussion :3

edit: Clearly I missed that pet change, well there ya go *runs away*.

I do want to point out I don't think the change applies to book smacks. I've missed book smacks on adds in A1S when I was facing their front. Granted not much of an issue compared to other classes.

[Selli]

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.)

[Sapphic]

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.
