Accuracy Gone - Direct Hits to come

[ZhaneX]

So accuracy is being removed from gear, to be replaced by a level-based hit rate system.

Meanwhile DPS will also be getting "Direct Hit" as a replacement stat, which sounds to be a sort of in-between from regular damage and crits, dealing less damage than crits but more reliably and consistently as you build the stat. And direct hits can stack with crits for even more damage!

Sounds like a pretty nice trade-off to me.

If I remember correctly, direct hit requires attacking face on, not from rear or flank, right?

That seems restricted in actual dungeon or raids...

I don't recall hearing anything like that? They talked about how there would be different rates for hit rates based on direction replacing accuracy, and then moved on to talking about Direct Hits, but nothing uniting or integrating the two concepts.

I wanted to know if DET will remain the same?
