The Return of Miss Abilities

[Lauro]

Hello all well this is new post and kinda a continuation of an old post a made a long time ago when "Feint" was used a lot hehe
Post I

Anyway i was looking at the new Lance weapon and so far even tough i dont have i would really like to see it in action which is

Gerbald's Redspike
Attack Power : +40, Accuracy : -20

And yes know its kinda weaker than Ifrit or Moogle , i would like for all of you LNC/DRG to take notice in the -20 ACC which its in fact really good for my opinion so far i really love the new Miss Abilities Disembowel with the "Chance to inflict Paralysis." , i don't know about you guys but that a pretty sick ability to put on a mob (regretfully i have yet to test it on a "boss" like CC Princess or Chimera.

Whats your opinion on abilities that require to Miss so far i really love it , and they add a certain touch which i believe its better that Monk since MNK need to "avoid" in order to use certain skill hehe
So far the skill we have are

Feint + Disembowel combo
and
Full Thrust

PS: Please remember to stay on topic this is just a thread to put your opinion on if you like them or not , not to bash to SE about "we need abilities to have a "light" so that when we "miss" when know when to use it.

I already miss plenty with +45 ACC in accessories for my DD jobs.. especially DRG. Personally, I don't think I'd bother with the new lance... I'm spamming feint > disembowel plenty as it is.

Agreed, they really nerfed accuracy with this patch, I can hardly get off a Chaos Thrust combo anymore with Impulse Drive missing so much since it's a low accuracy WS.

I wonder is missing a lot a good or a bad thing i mean with Feint combo we are having a lot of damage output with the combo and full thrust , and about the comment for Chaos Thrust ,well i dont know what to say about it i havent test it much.

I think those weapons are meant to be changed into something better, just my theory not fact. Since all the DoW ones have +attack power and -accuracy. Just doesn't make sense to me that they'd all be the same for multiple classes.

Missing is a good thing, makes the +accuracy gear and materia actually worth something. I just wouldn't want to purposely reduce my accuracy to miss more unless my dps is going to improve. I highly doubt that being able to feint and full thrust would be enough to replace the dps I'm losing by not getting the Chaos Thrust combo off. Though I haven't tested it at all.

I don't mind missing every once in awhile because of the Feint -> Disembowel combo; I think it was a really neat idea once I realized that I actually miss again. I would love to see more combos like this in the future that give unique status effects like this.

Sidebar: I still get off more CT combos than I miss; I think my parses on Ifrit put me between 85-93% still, which is fine for me (no +ACC gear).

Just for ACC info: On DRG I have an extra 100 ACC (double meld Felt Bracers, HQ Electrum Rings, Melancholy Mogfork), and I had a noticeable decrease in misses (parser went from 91% to 98% on Morbol at AV). Trying to do more testing to see what a decent amount would be.

To be honest i dont like to miss even if i do get the feint disembowel combo, if i miss my doomspike im not happy about it and the feint combo doesnt make up for it.

I just notice something... that might be bad or a bug MISS abilities wont "trigger" if they aren't on normal attack for example if i miss a Chaos Thrust and i try to use Feint it wont work >_> sigh .. ok now that sucks
