Dh is not comparable. Accuracy was required. Missing hits in ex and savage was inexcusable. Dh is just another damage multiplier, and varies depending on job and stat spread.
Not true. Fights lower than Savage and Ex had accuracy requirements, albeit far lower ones. People would and did have sets almost entirely absent of accuracy for doing things like the 24 mans. Most people did just gear for the highest accuracy check and call it a day, though.

And they are comparable, everything can be compared, silly. Direct Hit is also required in order to do direct critical hits at all. Advertised as a new facet of the battle system, even. It features in some way in almost every tank BIS since its inception, and even in the odd cases where you didn't want it, the jobs (cough Warrior cough) had a skill that forced Direct Hit to happen because it's the new maximize your DPS stat.

Accuracy was just a whole lot more honest about its requirement.
