    When you go to meld Direct Hit into Tank gear it does not show "Direct Hit" as a possible stat at the bottom of the meld screen. Strength, Vitality, Crit, Det, Skill Speed, and Tenacity show up at the bottom with their respective stat caps though.

    This leads me to believe Direct Hit does absolutely nothing on Tanks. It also doesn't appear naturally as a secondary stat on Tank gear.

    That would make it quite the exception to how stats are handled. Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Mind, Tenacity, and Piety all state who they do and do not work for. Why would Direct Hit be the only one not to?

    Guys, it works.

    Put on old gear that had accuracy (it got converted to Direct Hit) and fight stuff. Large font, no ! damage numbers means direct hit. Larger yet font and double !! means direct critical hit. Like always, ! for critical.

    Scored plenty of both level 60-66 while I was still wearing my i270 stuff.

    Don't know why you're replying to me like that, I'm not saying it wouldn't work. I'm pointing out that the stat listing makes it pretty clear it does.

    It wasn't at you, I just quoted you adn addressed the naysayers in the thread like the one you responded to. Guess I shouldn't have quoted, but didn't feel like going back to select the same guy you responded to.

    Everyone can put on old gear and see it work. To say otherwise is embarrassing, like the threads where people were questioning how our ATK power works now.
