Accuracy thread again!

It breaks my heart when I'm throwing Malefic II and I see MISS. And then hitting a mob with Gravity and only hitting 1 out of 3. I die a little inside

This is more than frustrating. I've honestly cut my dps back by like 75% even if it means just standing there because its no longer a matter of being skilled enough to weave in and out of cleric. Its a matter of how many gcds I want to waste trying to get my Aero I, II and III to stick. I'm usually a cautious healer when it comes to dps but I've become comfortable doing it and the new dungeons actually leave quite a bit of down time for a healer to help out if hots are up and no one is failing mechanics regularly. But I've had to recast dots up to three times to get them to hit and my holy spam is now dangerous because I could usually run in and reliably interrupt cones etc with swiftcast. Nope. Not anymore. Now it can suddenly miss two out of three or four mobs and I find myself smacked in the face.

I get that maybe to reach the cap for high level raids etc you should need to meld /some/ accuracy to your gear. Fine. But as someone who sticks to expert roulette and an occasional extreme trial I don't see why they expect healers to go full accuracy just to reliably hit the broad side of a barn. Frankly it almost seems like they made it a problem just so the whole new thing with materia would seem like a savior. Even though pre 3.2 I could go a whole dungeon without missing. Personally I think it should be addressed. Either drop the accuracy threshold on casual content or give cleric a passive accuracy increase that's enough to hold people over in 4 mans etc. It's just strange. I get they wanted to make tanks into actual tanks again because strength tanking was getting out of hand but it feels like they tried to force us into 'just heal'...only without giving us any reworks like they did for the tank classes.
