    If I'm RNG, I don't need much more accuracy, I give up accuracy I no longer need, for more attack. We get 5 Acc Bonus traits. This is why we toss aside Trailer's Kukri's in time for Kriegsbeil/Fransica combo or even both of those away for Fire Staff or the HQ. Its why we can give up /NIN for /WAR, /SAM.

    Additionally, they just gave us an attack with Skadi, there's the accuracy set with Pahluwan and a magic accuracy set with Denali. And let's just point out Crimson set to round it out. And lets not forget Kirin's Osode set and Scout's Attire for RNG here.

    So it looks like SE beat you to the punch a while ago, minus your the strange sacrifices. For BLU and COR, all that's really left is AFv2 here.

    RNG has it pretty darn good on thier options and COR and BLU aren't bad off. If the new abjuration/einherjar sets are any indication, I'm expecting a remix set taken from any of the four above to come for the jobs you mentioned. I don't expect anything mindblowing for RNGs because, well, just look at all that. I've not even started with Limbus and Sea stuff nor do I wish to here.

    As it stands now, we don't have to give up attack for accuracy with these sets, so I can't see how any of those jobs would want more accuracy unless you're an extremely anal COR or BLU. Accuracy shouldn't be a large concern for any of them, least of all RNG and THF.

      1) A lot of the sets you've mentioned are not Abjuration gear. 2) Abjuration gear comes with penalties with their bonuses, which is why it's a good idea not to wear the whole set, but pieces. 3) For any melee, being able to eat Meat with 95% Accuracy is the goal. COR and RNG would benefit from the set, even if it wouldn't be their best. 4) An opposite version of the set would be ignored for the most part, as Meat is the best way to boost your attack over Sushi.

          what SE needs to do is introduce 3hr accuracy foods with stats comparable to the 3hr meat foods, if SE really wants the player base to take sets like the new shadow cuirass seriously.

          of course, I'd rather like to see a 30 minute dragon food too...

            And before you say the whole classifies you as a dragon is a penalty, it's not you are granted Demon Killer as well.

              That doens't make it not a penalty.

                It's more of a joke penalty more then ne thing that doesn't effect the user 100% as much as the other abj. To some people it will become a penalty and to others it's like it doesn't exist.

                  Where are you going with this? I don't see your point. They should nerf Crimson?

                    Hell no its just that, I think everyone was going on about new abj shouldn't have penalties. I was trying to show that not all abj have major penalties, and can be used effectively

                    I hate nerfs

                      I didn't feel like starting a new thread about this, so I'll post it here...

                      Anyone else notice Port Jeuno and Southern San d'Oria are no longer in auto-translate?

                      Update: Nevermind... I see what they did. They shortened everything. :-\

                      All Ports are now "Pt. City"
                      And as far as San d'Oria... S.San d'Oria, N.San d'Oria... same applies to Gustaberg.

                      Meh, I don't like this.

                        They are. Pt. Jeuno and S.Sandoria are how they show up in the auto-translater.

                          Southern San d'Oria has become S.San d'Oria. All of the Port zones have been abbreviated to Pt. ...

                                I'm complaining bitterly about the mangling of auto-translated place names, but most of my LS is ignoring me. ._. Maybe most people aren't bothered by it...

                                But, it just seems so stupid that the name of the area you zone into doesn't match the auto-translator's name for it. To me, anyway.
                                Bamboo shadows sweep the stars,
                                yet not a mote of dust is stirred;
                                Moonlight pierces the depths of the pond,
                                leaving no trace in the water.
