Nezumi Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Hey all. A bit of a question, and maybe I guess polling. I play mostly Marksman sniper and so most of my attacks consist of Weapon damage, and since weapon damage ( I think...) takes most of your stats from ranged, instead of tech. I thought it might be a valid notion to stack Accuracy vs focusing more on straight power/surge which is what I've been using for months and it's worked out pretty well in terms of damage numbers and killing. However, I run into roadblocks with tank classes, and the tool tip for Accuracy states that over 100% it lowers defenses, and as I recall from a dev post around launch Accuracy was supposed to be one of the big facets of sniper because it could hammer down tank classes . What is your opinion? Have you been using accuracy to success or has it lost its usefulness? Keep in mind. I'm not a number cruncher, I don't have a perser and I don't attack a target dummy to simulate results. Just my observations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadjunga Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 while marksman damage, is all "white" damage, their all affected by your tech accuracy, par rifle shots which is the only 90% accuracy ability you have. As for marksman in pvp. You only want 95% accuracy, since the only classes that have higher defense than base 5% are either tanks, or sorcs. Since good sorcs are very rare these days, you can more or less ignore em and just go with 95%. If you however, decide to stack, then that would reduce the amount you can spend on alacrity or surge enhancements. Which is not a good thing. Also, you are perfectly fine with 91% accuracy as well, as you will miss less than 1% of your hits in pvp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
