Wtf accuracy

You know what really pisses me off about this game?

With 304 skill in any given weapon, and a ridiculous amount of accuracy in equipment, you (Read: *I*) still end up missing weaponskills. Consecutively. On mobs I shouldn't be wiffing them on.

In salvage the other day, I missed 3 Tachi: Kasha's in a row. Three of them, on what, soulflayers or something stupid. Wtf? Soulflayers are Demon mobs, they should be at my damned mercy!

And don't even get me started on ranged accuracy.

(Whoops, too late)

Since I don't have Ranger leveled, and I don't feel like throwing oodles of noodles XP at Dark Ixions, I gear up COR/RNG and keep a nice comfortable distance shooting at his backside.

Yeah I know. Cor/Rng, pish posh. Yeah, most of them vs End Game are pretty lol. But, at least I'm not Cor/Nin building TP on Fafnir to Spirits Within like this one jerk off I recall in DA about a year ago.

No, seriously. Capped Marks merits + Faith Torque + ridiculous equipment for R.acc... Plus sushi Plus Hunter's Roll plus /RNG Accuracy Bonus. That's how much it takes to reliably cap the mother !@#$er with Slug Shot. And yeah, after that much R.acc, its god damned consistent at 400-600 damage.

But dear god. That's a lot.

Makes you wonder, how the hell did some of us get along without Sushi for this kind of nonsense way back when? I was what, 65 when sushi came out I think, still poppin' my rice balls on SAM full timing AF gloves because the only other option was 3 accuracy hands until... forever? But whatever, I didn't know any better smackin' away with my dual dex rings on.

Onto next topic.

Stuff that does stuff that pisses me off.

We did a Dynamis Jeuno run last night. Went alright, cleared zone, fought boss, wiped trying to pull afterwards as per usual.

Every time. Every !@#$ing time. Hits me with that blindness candle. I can be 20 distance behind it and it will turn around and throw the damn thing right into my eye if it has to (Eyepatch anyone?).

Also, apparently "Silence the Slimes" reads as "YABALABA SHYRNC ALAKABA" to all Red and Black mages in Dynamis.

Yo keep the slimes silenced and blow them up.
Kadaj's copy image effect wears off.
Kadaj receives the effect of paralyze.
Kadaj drinks bleach.

Not to mention the goblins apparently pack paralyze candles too, just in case their slimes don't piss off enough people, which they ALWAYS manage to hit me with as well.

I think its some kind of Goblin conspiracy.

And they proved it last night.

MMM came out just a few days ago. So, I set up my maze, we go in there last night.

I get mage skeletons. They all have Ice Spikes up, and they all spam that blindness AoE nonsense.

I swear to god.

Conspiracy.
