Accuracy thread again!

[Kerrigen]

I definitely noticed more miasma/broil/Malefic/Gravity misses than usual on all 3.2 content. Couldn't really track my accuracy but the requirements seem to be a fair bit higher? Maybe comparable to the later Gordias Savage floors in regular dungeons.

This will make melding Accuracy mandatory as expected, but I'm a bit concerned about 3.4 if they don't do anything and keep raising accuracy requirements. T5 Heaven's Eye can only carry us so far.

I'm also slightly nervous about Midas Savage. Having us miss all the time might be a not-so-subtle way to tell us they don't want us to DPS too much. :|

Certainly melding 150 accuracy is nothing compared to 150 det/crit, basically either accuracycap or not at all.

I had a 60-80% miss rate in Historical Amdapor with Gravity and Malefic II x_X
Missing 4 out of 5 Gravity with the mobs in front of the final boss room, I just gave up dpsing altogether because it was just wasting MP with no benefit...there's a limit to how harsh you can be on healers, SE

With 3 of these melds and some accuracy food I hit a little over 500 accuracy. With all Acessories melded like this Youd hit around 580 Acc. I like that they gave us the option as healers. Do you want bigger heals OR do you want 100% hit rate. Its a microcosm of the STR vs Vit for tanks melding.

Melds would help for sure, but feels kinda silly to me that if u don't put many millions to your gear u can't even get hits land
Before i remember missing every now and then (without melds) which was fine but now its just ridiculous amount of misses I get. Had 4 mobs in dung and used assize 3 missed and 1 actually got hit by that really kinda got me nuts, next dung i used food but it helped only very little. Think that is bit too much misses for normal expert roulette dungeon. :/

My guess is they will probably slap some minor accuracy on healer gear in the next few patches like they did in 2.0. If not for dps reasons, than for the fact that missing 3+ energy drains on SCH when you're sitting at i260 or whatever would kinda suck, and you shouldn't have to invest millions of gil in melds to use a routine skill with some consistency.

[Rawrz]

Well using void ark each week for a tier 5 Accuracy and using only 1 slotted Raid gear, you could get 12 x 11 acc = 132 making your total 488 or a little over 500 with food. So its not the best, but its way better and you wont need to pentameld like crazy.

Yea, it's really noticeable in the Calbrena fight with the tank and healer having to dps the adds.

I feel like this is an odd thing to complain about at the same time they release melding, and raid capable crafted i220 gear that you can fully meld. For the healers who like to DPS or value their ability to do so while playing highly - they can get up to ACC cap. And for those who don't care if they miss or don't dps at all and can put whatever they want in the gear, or nothing at all. Everyone wins.

No, the ability to reliable hit things should not be locked away behind one's ability or willingness to dump millions of gil into their gear. Missing is not an interesting mechanic. Having a stat that's vital up to the cap and useless anywhere beyond is not interesting. It honestly doesn't surprise me that many modern MMOs don't have an accuracy stat or have moved away from it.
