But ignoring that, what you are forgetting, simply, is that Power Creep, the circumstance you are describing in which monsters are they are released get progressively stronger to challenge players who get better and better builds, works both ways.
Just as I have a different set for high-evasion monsters, and intended build progression path, so too would Rail's gear change as more gear becomes available. The previously stated value isn't a static number for eternity. It's not as if she doesn't already have her eyes on the Flame Lt's Spear, which, by the way gives even Garuda's Beak a run for its money. (With me as a Gridanian... hmm. Awell!)
As far as Accuracy in situations in which you have limited attack windows. I would agree on insuring accuracy. But, to be blunt, the only Primal that gets reliable attendance is Moogle - and that does give a good bit of standing DPS time, and at low Accuracy requirements to boot.
The point of the matter is, however, you gear for what you do and in a straight standing DPS race, Dragoon doesn't benefit as much from max accuracy. As you move on to challenge higher things as your gear improves.
That said, there is a bit of a misnomer on Garuda. Her attack Window is only limited in the first and second stages, no where near as problematic movement wise as Ifrit is. Once stage two is done, you're more or less straight DPSing. And her Jumps are more likely to break your chains than a miss is, in these circumstances.
Anyways, I'm still narrowing down where the exact sweet spot is percentage wise, and of course that changes from target to target so it's quite hard to get a solid sample base.
But like Mariya, I tend to have spare pieces of gear on hand for adjustments. (I've got adjustments on hand to emphasize crit chance, Accuracy, and - Emnity respectively, though, Rail has a far better - Emnity build than I do. I take soo much hate ; ; )
