If you have trouble hitting, rock 4 accuracy rings.

Seconding Narfalicious. Pick up 4 rings such as: Dated Bone Ring, Dated Copper Ring, or Dated Brass Ring to boost the accuracy by 8~12 points.

Cross-Class Abilities:
Lancer gets an ability like Invigorate which increases your TP generation for a while.

Archer gets an ability like Quelling Strike that boosts the TP generation of your next attack and in a party setting, reduce some of the threat your move will generate.

I would probably get the Conjurer ability for Cure for those times when you just need the extra heal between using Second Wind.

Thank you Narfalicious, I don't use a mouse when playing because of the poor specs of my current compy. The mouse lag just bugs the hell out of me. So as a result I never hovered over any of the stats. And also thanks for pointing me to the 1.20 patch notes. I started right after 1.20b so I missed them.

And thanks to Estellios for the advice on just using gear to spec one way or the other. I had the suspicion that I was going to need to do that anyway and it is nice to hear in the affirmative.
