Law Healer gear needs Accuracy.

[EZ5902]

Please can a Dev. look into this? not every healer likes to stand there spamming cure 1 when tanks lose 1% HP, Some healers like to attack.

Same goes with hunts, some of us like to attack those rather than spam medica 2.

Please, please, please add accuracy

but if they did that it would have to end up replacing another stat... like critical... which needless to say would anger a lot of scholars...(adlo crit is amazing)

Not. True. At. All.

Pre-3.0 healer gear had added acc which was separate from and did not replace secondaries example here and here

I think Ruby is referring to the 'bonus' accuracy we had on i100 gear and up during the 2.X cycle. Small bits of accuracy on gear that didn't take away points from the actual available pool of secondary stat numbers.

They've adjusted accuracy requirements.

Only SE has the numbers so take this with a grain of salt, but my perception is that the minimum accuracy from bosses has been nerfed, meaning if T13 had for example an accuracy cap of 515, if you had 400 you would literally miss 50% of the times (making DPS without accuracy almost unviable). It seems this is no longer the case, because despite people claiming that the accuracy of Ravana is well over 500 too, I don't seem to miss much even with 354 accuracy, so I suspect the minimum % to hit a boss has been upped (if I had to take a wild guess, I'd say around 70%, so you still hit pretty consistently even with 0 accuracy).

-accuracy rambling-

This is a likely theory, or some of it anyway. Numbers are of course arbitrary, but it was the conclusion I also arrived to, given the accuracy caps in general haven't gone down. (As tanks have had misses in Ravana EX with accuracy below that of the FCoB levels).

That being said... Missing still sucks. I actually have a full set of penta-melded i150s but they don't really make me feel that great, because of that i160 gating for V-materia... I have a feeling I'll love having +15 VIT on accessories for progression (for undergeared t13-like fights) and the 2nd to 5th slots having something else.

[FoxyAreku]

You don't need it, because right now the only fight where you'll even notice constant misses is ravana.

I will be pretty peeved if esoteric gear has none though. Especially scholar gear.

Also-lol@people thinking getting accuracy would nerf our ability to get other stats. Did you not notice healer weapons and gear at level 50? It had free accuracy on it, 5 stats listed.

[SPYX]

As a WHM I feel like the BiS is accuracy, I think I would feel the same way playing with the other two healers, must I really be forced into pricey crafted accessories so I can get it?

[CountMoustachio]

Honestly i do not know why they do not just add accuracy to cleric stance, like they did with tanking stances

the way i see it the reason it was added to tank stance is cause if a tank isn't hitting there not getting aggro and if they are not getting aggro then they cant be considered a tank... but in the case of healers they don't "need" to dps it is just a benefit if they want to do so. it isn't actually part of there core job to "need" to hit the enemy
