Is -10% evasion the same as +10% accuracy, if so could we use that effectively?

[Nekotee]

-10% evasion mean reducing by 10% the accuracy need to hit the target
It better than +10% of accuracy on the group

Since the accuracy need is always higher, the reduction is stronger.

...

And no having a bard using that skill mean that he lower his DPS...
The group should have the accuracy requirement

@Slappah not that much... That rain is a blessing on Alex2 XD and many other fight where healers dps

Well, sometimes the group don't, therefore, the BRD is helping. He is doing his job, just like a NIN does his job by using Trick Attack. Let me guess; NIN shouldn't use TA because the group should already be pushing high numbers?

Does nin sacrifice his personal dps for the benefit of the group by using TA?

now that RoD is on a shared CD with bloodletter, bards do not sacrifice that much of their dps than they would have back in 2.X.

Though one shouldn't replace every bloodletter by RoD, but it can help to maintain it at least a bit during healers's dps phase.
