1. Accuracy should be more than fine on blu. If not your already doing blu wrong.

Weapons: perdu, koggles, trial of the magian one

MKE head,

Your acc should be fine so like something else for body. Like af ( 1). Mirke, enkidus. AJ if you can I guess


Creek or enkidus for hands. Those gloves are killing your crits badly.

Rajas str ring

legs enkidus, idk relic or dusk or something not alot of good options.

Haven't really done the numbers but maybe cuchulain mantle over foragers

What kind of sample size you talking about Dasva?

Edit: And yeah, dunno, I've always felt like WS's seemed more accurate than meleeing. I just wanna see if people have actually tested before you take it for granted that low lvl ones don't have a bonus.
Can only find stitch and flat blade. This was on rdm/blu btw. Yeah I know I should probably get more ws for a good sample size but if there was a large increase it should've definitely shown up by then. And getting tp with that acc takes forever...

Hmmm, yeah, it's kind of a weird, it's not technically a big enough sample size but it's big enough to indicate a trend at least. Maybe I'll try messing with it some once I'm home.

And wth at flat blade acc, lol.

Yeah flat blade was a bit lower in sample size so I'd guess (hope) that and alot of bad luck is the reason why it is so much lower and in all reality it is about the same as my melee.

Either that or SE made it purposefully lower because of the fact it is a rather reliable stun usable by alot of jobs

Btw, either of you have a link to the original testing on like gekko and stuff? I just want to confirm something.

pDIF yes, accuracy no... not sure if the original acc thread still exists, but it was Bibiki goblins with Blind pots and still capping wsacc on YGK. I can provide a link to testing of Kaiten and Cata receiving the acc bonus though.

Kaiten/Cata should be fine too. Was just trying to google the original testing and someone mentioned that they were getting 50% melee acc with capped ws acc. But I'm also reading that blinding potions should be absolutely FLOORING your acc. So I wonder if they changed they way blinding potions worked in the meantime.

I might try and do a test where I can just get low acc without having to rely on blinding potions just to see. Dunno if it'll make a difference but I'm just kinda curious, hehe.

How recent is that testing? I ask because capping used to happen at pdif and was changed to capping at ratio... so do they raise pdif or att on ws? Would make a big difference on decent lvl difference. If it's adding to pdif it would effectively get around lvl difference penatly kinda like spinning slash does.

And which ones exactly and by how much.

Except with Setanta's Ledelsens (or Agrona's Leggings), Strgoi Ring and maybe Aesir Ear Pendant.

Soil Gorget, earring is situational, STR/WSDMG head would generally perform better if you're just using that for WS. Other than that, very solid set.

I use the head for some spells as well so I like the DEX there. Furthermore, the DEX+4 augment comes with Critical Hit Damage +2%, which helps the average damage of Vorpal Blade too (chance of critical hit based on TP). As for the Soil Gorget, I've considered it but it would be about the same as Fortitude Torque for Vorpal Blade (and I tp in it too so I can save an inventory slot).
