TheBetty Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Hey Guys, I'm a Rakata/Blackhole geared Carnage Mara, pulling some pretty good deeps. I'm 74% surge (almost capped) and my crit is like 33% without Agent buff. My accuracy is in the order of 106% which I have been led to believe is a bit low. All the forums and guides I could find have typically told me that you need to aim for 110% (this is going back a while though ). Reasoning of course, was that an op boss drops your accuracy by 10%. However I have been looking at other Mara's and their accuracy is in the order of 90%. I even had a random Mara tell me off about mine being way too high. Can someone please explain this to me? Is aiming for 110% accuracy no longer valid? Or is it just about capping yourself in other respects and stacking strength and power? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlznSmri Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 106% is fine, it's not crippling and if I remember correctly, bosses have like a hard 2% avoidance that we can't do anything about. Most of the attacks that will miss are your off-hand hits, which don't benefit from power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omophorus Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) Only 1 skill uses the Accuracy stat that is listed on your character sheet. Assault. Every single other offensive skill has the "isSpecial" flag set, which provides a 10% Acc boost. People who recommend 110% Accuracy should be ambiguously referring to Special Accuracy, or they are just wrong. The only reason to move beyond 100% Accuracy (as listed on your character sheet) is if, for some reason, you decide a few missed swings in Assault isn't tolerable. Given that Assault is purely filler for Rage generation, is a tiny slice of overall DPS, and gearing to cap Accuracy on it reduces how close to optimal your gear is for the other ~97% of your DPS, I can't imagine why anyone would worry. 106% is actually 6% too much, I'd pull out at least 1 Accuracy enhancement and replace it with Power/Surge. Then I'd go back and respec out Narrowed Hatred, because it's a junk skill. Edited August 15, 2012 by Omophorus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salionus Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) You want 110% Special Accuracy for PvE Bosses. End-Game If you put 57 Surge and 57 Accuracy on 5 pieces of gear each that will give you 285 ACC/SRG, which is ~ the cap for both.
