Which job has the WORST accuracy associated with it?

Dark Knight, I'm guessing just because of it's sheer power.

I think you'll find that WAR, MNK, DRK, and SAM are all really pitiful in the late 50's. Monks may attack fast, so you won't notice how much they *whiff*, but they do, and alot.

Stupid raptors.

It is more disruptive and noticable to DRK, SAM, and WAR because of the high delay and the TP loss from not landing a hit. Pre-patch it was even worse. After the TP adjustment I gain TP at almost the same rate... while the DRK I pt with.. (Hail, Deathsite, if you're out there) blew my mind... often doing 3 WS's per enemy. I was stunned.

Some DRKs can hit the broad side of a barn.

I think, that you're right though, DRKs are sterotypicaly the worst of the bunch.

Well I've played drk, mnk, and war past 50 and I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is drk! Frustrating as all get out too!

Re: Which job has the WORST accuracy associated with it?

Have you played DRK since the TP adjustment? It seems to be freaking sweet. I wonder how Samurai is....

All DDs have the same base Accuracy up until 60. DRG gets an extra +10 at 30, RNG gets an extra +10 at Lv.10, +22 at 30, +35 at 50, and one more trait at I think 70 due to the Accuracy Bonus trait. Post-60, THF and NIN get slightly lower Accuracy due to their A- ratings on their weapons; WAR is very likely to be using axes, so the same goes for them (A-), and BSTs too if you want to consider them a melee DD job (it can very well be one.) Many DRKs use Great Sword in the 60's if I'm not mistaken, which is also their A- weapon. On the other hand, THFs get the highest DEX, so that helps them out.

Then come the JAs. WAR gets Aggressor at 45 (+25 Accuracy, -25? Evasion for 3 out of 5 minutes.) WAR can also use Great Axe and sacrifice their TP for Break WS; Shield Break gives the mob -40 Evasion, and I've read Full Break gives it -20 (in addition to other stat-downs.) MNK gets Focus at 25 (+20 Accuracy for 2 out of 5 minutes.) DRK gets Souleater at 30 (+20 Accuracy for 1 out of 6 minutes, aside from creating massive hate and massive damage, and losing HP, keeping them from making constant/full use of it.)

I'd assume THF, NIN, BST, and Great Sword-using DRKs have the least Accuracy post-60. But that doesn't say too much.

I thought so....

I'm looking to be a DRK with a Great Sword....is there a good subjob to take up to increase Accuracy?

Re: Which job has the WORST accuracy associated with it?

Dark Knight has the same accuracy as any job with an A+ skill weapon. And it's lvl 30 job ability, soul eater, increases both it's accuracy and dmg. The only reason why Drks are thought to have low accuracy is because they gain TP slower then other jobs. This isn't because of an acc issues though, it's because they lack 'tricks' that other jobs have.

War has innate Double Attack, with the best capabilities of increasing it's proc rate, and aggressor which is one of the best acc buffs in game.

Sam Has many Store TP traits, which increase it's TP per hit gain, Meditate which is instant TP and Zanshin which will allow them to swing again after a miss.

Drg has a built in Acc bonus and three jumps, all of which give TP

Mnk has many natural 'haste' traits that allow it to attack faster, Focus, which is almost as good as Aggressor, and Kick, which procs as often as Double Attack.

Rng get numerous Acc Bonus traits and acc abilities as well as Barrage which can almost fill thier TP full.

Thf has SA which is a guarenteed hit and triple attack to get more quick hits in with their low delay weapon.

It's because Drk doesn't have any natural 'TP tricks' they appear to have low acc.

Re: Which job has the WORST accuracy associated with it?

I mostly only merit now with Drk, where everyone's accuracy is about the same. Drk usually gets marked as the low-accuracy job, though. They have no Acc JAs or JTs, but access to quite a bit of decent Acc gear at higher levels. Thief and Monk seem to both have rather low accuracy, though.

Worst accuracy?

Elvaan BRD. Go solo farm or quest with that job. /em dies. 30 minutes to kill a EM antlion. Sure you can double madrigal, but you're too busy using paeons and ballads. Madrigal only works if you're still alive to attack.

Re: Which job has the WORST accuracy associated with it?

Id have to say the trifecta of none ranged DMG gods WAR,DRK,SAM

Re: Which job has the WORST accuracy associated with it?

RNGs suppose to be the one job that can get their accuracy very high easily (theoritically). Last year update make the whole ranged accuracy business so funny.

Re: Which job has the WORST accuracy associated with it?

The classes normally wielding 2HD weapons may be considered inaccurate in the levels approaching 50. Dark Knight, for instance, has a very difficult time keeping a weapon capped out skillwise on their combat sheet until the level length becomes long enough to allow them to catch up their weapon skill level to the current cap.

You'll notice that DRK probably is hit the hardest by the constant upgrade of the weaponskill cap as they level, but it eventually allows blue numbers at around level 50. The delay of the weapon and short levels don't give 2HD weapons much in terms of skillups early on. At one point I found myself 18 points behind on Scythe. The only thing that can be done is to continue the use of the weapon knowing that the levels will eventually get long enough to cap the skill.

Re: Which job has the WORST accuracy associated with it?

If you swap them around a lot, it's not too hard to cap two weapons around level 40. Skillchains, however, can somewhat restrict this process.

You can also go around and beat up Toughs with a few friends to pull your weapon skill up to cap.

Being behind by some 10 levels is a pretty significant accuracy loss.

Re: Which job has the WORST accuracy associated with it?

three jumps, all of which give TP

[OFFTOPIC]Super Jump gives TP?[/OFFTOPIC]

[Skoal]

Re: Which job has the WORST accuracy associated with it?

Super Jump does not give tp.
