    there are basically a few reasons you see people stacking int.

    1. they're doing blm burn (lol) strat and rely on BV minuet (and possibly macc food as well) to limit resists

    2. they're new to blm, don't know how much resists screw you up and/or are just doing what they're told by other (often misguided) people

    3. they've never really min-maxed in previous MMOs where hitting accuracy cap was the most important thing to do first as a damage class, and don't know the importance of limiting resists to increase average dps

    4. they can't afford macc materia, or simply don't care about min-maxing

    5. big numbers syndrome, where they don't care about a bunch of resists as long as they can crit a massive thundaga every now and then


    now, that said- for garuda you'll want 530+ total macc (including any buffs) for about 97-98% accuracy. to all but erase that last 2-3% you'll probably need around 550, as otherwise you'll still get an unlucky resist here and there.

    Had to laugh because that is so many people on this game.
