I'm well aware this topic has been beaten to death, but the posts I found regarding this topic has been less than informative. As I appraoch 50+, I'm starting to realize the importance of Hit Accuracy, and our role as Drg's.
Initially, I was leaning towards maxing Dex gear, but after I recieved Penta, it changed my view on things. As we all know, 1 Acc. equates to roughly 2 Dex. However, Acc. only affects Hit Ratio, where as Dex also influences Critical Hit Ratio.
After I recieve Penta, I been thinking Dex is less useful compared to Acc. For starters, I'm Elvaan, when I fight IT+++'s, my innate Dex penalty becomes more evident. In the high end, its all about Penta spamming and how often you can Pump out WS's while moderating your agro, at least that's how I understand our role. Normally, I'm swinging 2-5 hits in between Pentas, insignficant enough to make use of the Critical Hit bonus. So I been thinking if I should change to all out Acc. which would better benefit my Pentas.
So with that said, how much of a compromise should we make for Accuracy instead of Dex? I ask this question because their are several Slots that can satisfy either roles, and I'm undecided as to which item I should buy. When Items are costing 200-500k Each, I have to be careful and certain that the piece of eqiupment is the best for my Job. Their are a few slots that I'm sure many other Dragoons would like opinion on, as well as myself (= Perhaps I can gain some insights.
Ring: Sniper Rings vs. Flourtine (+3dex, I believe +4dex came out now as well)
Neck: Coral Gorget (3 acc.) vs. Spike Necklace (+3 dex/3str)
Belt: Life Belt vs. Royal Knight's (I know this one shoudl be obvious, but I see many High lvl Drg/Drk use RK over Life)
I think with my Ideal set up (looking horrible, replacing even AF) I'll sit at roughly 22 Dex. My ideal Acc. set up should net me 35 Acc. That's roughly 70 Dex without Critical Hit Bonus. To me, that seems more appealing, but I still don't know what kind of a compromise I should sacrifice Dex in return for Acc. Anyways this is getting long, can some high lvl give some input? Thanks (=
