Regular +MACC, if you choose to augment it with that.

Yeah, if that magic accuracy skill counted, it really wouldn't be a big difference between 45 macc and ilvl 115 magic accuracy skill compared to no macc and ilvl 119 magic accuracy skill. But 45 macc increase is quite significant.

... You have to physically land it so even with capped acc you have 5% fail rate. ...

I have a question about this - with the update to boost acc cap mainhand for dual wielders like blue to 99%, it would be a 1% fail rate now with capped accuracy? or are blu spells still capped at 95% accuracy?

Was quoting to emphasize the reduced acc, Club has less than sword, not something you want in incursion.

Maybe you should reread what you quoted? He's asking if physical blue magic caps at 95 or 99% acc now that mainhand acc was changed.

The former. It's also notable that under certain conditions, Mimesis and Almace 119 are strong offhands for a Tizona user.

Ideally you would have uson B for dDEX and accuracy situations and oat xiu for fodder. The other offhand weapons all have their ideal scenarios, but I'd make a pair of gabaxorea A before I worried about niche offhand weapons.

Dual Gabo is really nice for Subduction tho, nice investment if you already have Uson A already...After a Mythic, 6x Airlixir+2 shouldn't be too much to farm tho :)

Tizona aside, is 119 Almace our best mainhand now? 20DEX and fulltime AM1-2 seems like quite a large boon. I know we lose like 21 base damage over Uson, but the extra dex and fulltime 20-30% ODD on mainhand, 50% from am3 when tp is saved on fodder. Seems like it could overtake Uson. Comparable acc too.

Not even close, the base damage just kills is potential.

If someone can point me to an error in the spreadsheet please do (haven't actually checked through the Data tab), but I've pretty much always had 119 Almace ahead of any non-Tizona AM3 sword options when CDC is the main WS of choice even with just AM1 up and the extra 13 DEX not providing any extra critical hit rate. With my linkshell's usual buffs on a high level target, I have Almace/Uson(B15) pulling ahead by 1.1% over Uson(B15)/Uson(B15). Even in a solo play situation I'm getting the same 1.1%. Obviously if you can't maintain your Aftermath the result would shift in Uson's favor.

150k plasm is 3x Delve1 or 2x Delve2 runs...Usually a dynamis run will yield around 2 mil so almost 4+ airlixir+2 depending on server prices...

this is probably correct, but the cost:performance is quite askew. better off funneling the resources into Tizona unless you play RDM and PLD a lot as well

Of course. If I didn't already have a 119 Almace I wouldn't even consider building it in place of a Tizona.

So what is the best off hand for high acc situations with Tizona then?

Still uson B?

Side note: Gabroxea are very nice for subduction, was running dual nehushtans(sp) and upgrades to Gab and was a huge dif.

Wish I hadn't blown 1500 HMP on it. Never finished in my cinders though so it is at a point where the sword is worthless, but I sank all that money in to it ; ;

I'd be mostly done with alex had I not.

I'm in the same boat with ukon, at least almace has a use at 119, even if it's situational.
