Accuracy thread again!

[loreleidiangelo]

Think they wanted healers to heal and tanks to tank. Going to dps stance is a luxury now. If you want to dps add some accuracy to your prototype/primal gear.

I think people want those roles to do those things...in content that can't be done with your keyboard on your lap, a beer in one hand and some chips in the four fingers of your other hand. See my earlier post, where I point out that making raids more healing-intensive rather than largely solo-healed by a WHM/Diurnal Astrologian is something I would like to see done in either Midas Savage, or future raids.

I don't toggle Cleric Stance and DPS in expert dungeons because it's "difficult" and I like the "challenge". I toggle it because it speeds the run up and I just want to get the heck out of there as soon as possible so I can do more interesting things. Missing so much on all of my attack spells just feels insulting when I view it in that vacuum.

I would surely do this if people would not badmouth me. I hate DPSing. I only do it because people point fingers when I don't. And SE is making my life even harder by letting my Assize miss all 8 mobs on a pull.

See, this is the whole point... I personally believe healers should help with the DPS. because that's how you make dungeon run go faster. You can choose not to DPS, and I don't blame you.. but you have given with that chance. Now, what worries me here is the direction where SE heading. We are required to use specific materia in order to land offensive spells just like pre 3.2.. They already removed accuracy stat from us, so it's even harder to achieve that goal. If current new dungeons make you miss a lot, imagine what happens in the next update.

People complained about tanks should be a tanking class and healers should be a healing class: SE gives a middle ground and people still complain

People complain because it's much more complicated now. This idea doesn't prevent healers from DPSing. It only gives them a hard time and encourage them to spam more spells so it will finally land. If you are the type of player who usually DPS as a healer. If you see your stone 3 miss, you don't go.. "Oh, it\\'s not landing, guys, I'm quitting DPS". I personally don't mind slotting accuracy materia. So I'm not entirely against it, but there is a lot of misconception here. SE didn\\'t make healers just to heal. If their DPS was such a huge problem, WHMs wouldn\\'t get Aero 3 and assize with 300 potency. They simply want us to grind.

I know healers aren't meant just ho heal. SE gave options is materia melding. Either meld to heal better or meld to dps better. This allows healers that aren't use to healing more leeway, and healers that are capable of healing content to spec for damage.

Well with new gear having materia slots and using ACC Vs, you could have enough acc if dps is that important. Helps magic acc is lower than physical.

I got my accuracy to 450 and I haven't noticed a single miss since. (Though the only 'hard' content I've done recently is seph EX, I'm sure I'll start missing again when I do savage. It's nice though.)

Ya ive been missing a lot more. Good thing im a sch and I tend to heal only about 10% of the time the whole dungeon. Im spoiled and make selene do all my heal work lol.
I don't meld acc though as so far there seems to be some heavy healing on raids non normal.

Things die pretty fast in the new dungeons ill dps, but im not to worried with max numbers on the casual stuff.

I feel you though, missing on say energy drain or any utilities spells would suck. Non healers tend to bash us healers, I guess they don't know how to play our class. I Get mp back if my energy drain lands, to heal you tanks and dps who complain that healers dont need acc.

[Whiteprincess]

For the ppl who say my job is to heal and not dps. I say well has a sch I heal only 10% to 15% of the time in the new dungeons with everyone topped off or nowhere close to being in danger, if I shouldn't dps. Which dance emote would you guys like me to press while my fairy heals the tank?

Please, obviously you need to /cheer and /rally to encourage the DPS so they pump out more damage. Dancing, especially in skimpy outfits, would simply distract them and lower their output (regardless of gender)
