my drg mains in LS say you need about 400 for her, theyre fairly reputable drgs on ridill, who even parse nearly double blms in some fights, might be wise to listenUm. . . Am I rolling too much Accuracy?
I have 394 accuracy with no party bonuses and I went into Garuda in full accuracy jewelry (Rings and Neck) along with Accuracy food. I want to say I was around 450~ Accuracy.
How much Accuracy is good for Garuda?
PS - T'was my first Garuda, and I heard she needed higher accuracy than most content. . . so I made sure I had as much as possible. Didn't notice any misses at all, really. All weapons skills hit normally.
I have 368 accuracy (only gear with it is a Flame Sergeant's Sash) and I usually 100% on Ifrit/95+ on anything else. Considering the fact that missing grants you a buttload of TP for another go, I don't understand why anyone would stack accuracy on this job. Just my two cents. :V
With that much acc you are not hitting 100% of the time (or even 95+ on everything else or even close). Doing tests you will notice that your Normal WS' actually do more dmg then your miss WS'. To make matters even worse Full Thrust and disembowl are on 30s recast timers, and if you are missing enough to activate those a lot then you aren't even using them half the time while lowing your DPS because you know, you are missing and also not building TP for other WS's because you are missing. Also considering if you are missing enough to activate those all the time you can ALSO miss using them.I have 368 accuracy (only gear with it is a Flame Sergeant's Sash) and I usually 100% on Ifrit/95+ on anything else.

Now take into account that your normal WS' do more then full thrust/feint/disembowl. You do not want those to miss. Now if you have the TP and miss a normal attack obviously it would be ideal to use them, BUT, the fact you would have to gear to miss instead of not hit, that increases the chances of missing your real WS' which isn't good and like I said, you end up missing more while waiting for full thrust/disembowl to even come off CD.
Like I said before, due to missing being RNG, it is not optimal to actually gear towards trying to miss. It is better to just not miss at all.
I disagree, even more so due to the fact that the RNG can be kept low (~95-98%) you will still get dependable procs off of a hit on Chaos Thrust that will alow you to capitalize on one of the missed hits.Like I said before, due to missing being RNG, it is not optimal to actually gear towards trying to miss.

And an one missed hit on Chaos Thrust is a lot less damage than either of the post-miss combos.
In the end, it's going to boil down to personal experience. If you can quickily capitalize on your misses by activating your skills in quick order, then no, 100% accuracy is not good. But you also don't want to be constantly missing out on attacks mid chain. You learn to balance when and where to empasise it.
If anything, I'd take from the conversation that sitting static with one build isn't optimal for every fight. If you're facing an opponent that has lesser evasion, you're able to settle for more stats and less accuracy, and vice versa. For me, the difference usually is food.
Ya, luckily when you have all the proper gear, it just kinda comes with ACC lolI disagree, even more so due to the fact that the RNG can be kept low (~95-98%) you will still get dependable procs off of a hit on Chaos Thrust that will alow you to capitalize on one of the missed hits.

I'm a fair bit away form any BiS gear, to be completely honest.
I'm just short of the mark when it comes to my stat caps (eating specific food pushes me to STR cap, but I'm behind on my Piety, still working on a triple meld body.) But even then, I'm not running into major accuracy problems, because I adjust for what I'm fighting.
Eliseus, you're imposing restrictions that aren't relevant.
It's DPS that matters, not Accuracy. Accuracy is an ingredient in making your DPS effective, but it is not the only one.
So the question you should be asking her is "What's your DPS on Garuda and what sort of accuracy are you pumping with her?"
In which case, you'll be waiting until the group does another Garuda run. (Rail and I are LS mates.) And Rail actually is on DRG during that run and not on other classes she has. (I tend to hog the DRG spot.)
