Show acuracy different with tank stances

[Martin_Arcainess]

Hey all, this is a suggestion but I would love to see the accuracy we get when we stick out tank stances on. Just so I can mix and match my gear knowing if I have too much or too little accuracy.

From what I hear it's not a 5% increase to the number, it's a flat 5% increase to accuracy. So say at 500 accuracy you have 95% accuracy from the front, putting on your tank stance will make that 100%.

Cabalabob is right, and whilst I don't disagree with the fact that it would be nice to see the actual value, it's worth mentioning that by the time you have to start worrying about accuracy caps you're probably heading into Alex Savage.

And if you're heading into Alex Savage, you're going to be needing to tank a LOT of bosses outside of your tank stance, be it deliverance/sword oath or just dropping grit, in order to help your team meet strict DPS requirements.

As a result all good tanks there have to gear for 100% hit accuracy from the front regardless of stance, so the 5% bonus on the tank stance is completely useless and should be ignored.

That is correct; which is why it's a terrible way for them to have implemented this. You can't build sets accordingly, or have any idea how much you're off if you need more. Would be so much better if OP's suggestion was implemented.

After doing some Maths the Front is 580 so 553 is my acc cap with Grit on, So ideally I don't want to go much over that value. For future raids it be nice to see so I can work out stats for best DPS from me.

Pretty much my Point, I'm already in savage and I don't want to have too much ACR on my character where I could be more focus on SKP or Crit rate.
