Merit party rollsFollow

Yarr me mateys.

Since seeing the Sam roll thread, I've been wondering about the usage of the rest of them. Mainly, when it's time to switch hunter's out for something else. I know most 2-handers can easily reach acc cap if they have capped weapon merits and decent gear. Or they can get really close.

Personally, I've always thought any melee aside from MNK or maybe THF need to have Acc 90-95% since when we talk gear, the saying always goes 'if acc is not capped, acc rules all with the exception haste(depending on the %)' or something roughly like that. Should I parse the melee and give them acc if they aren't hitting 90%+?

MNK has enough haste gear available to it that it's not worth swapping that haste gear out for raw accuracy gear. Because of this most MNK's sit 80-87% acc, but their DoT keeps up just fine. The balancing act is finding as much acc as possible outside the key haste slots. This doesn't seem to hold true for other melee jobs though, I think.

Do you guys make that judgement call personally and give melee hunter's roll if they are parsing under 90% acc? Or do you roll something else? Is it the case of deminishing returns because they only need a tiny portion of the bonus hunter's roll gives, to cap acc and the rest of the roll's potency effectively goes unused?

Mnk has Focus aswell, so 2mins out of 5, MNK's ACC will be capped in merit camps. If fighting Mamool, most Mnk's, Nin's, Thf's will use Marinara Pizza aswell. Acc roll is wasted on Most Mnk's in meripo's unless they suck. If they don't have H2H merits, they should be eating ACC food (crab sushi at bird camp).




This. When it comes to DD's, I inv ppl based on their competance, understanding of their job, and gear. If i can't find a suitable DD from my white list, i'll take my chances, but im not affraid to ask what weapon s/he is using. A SAM using Shinsoku, or THF using Heart snatcher is an easy way of fishing out a possible dud DD.

I like DD's who list their merits or gear and stuff like that in their /seacom.

I find this annoying:

Making a 'white list' of players to look for may be something I'll want to look into for the future- I plan to use COR to finish PLD and MNK merits after I finish with COR merits, which I've only just started on. So it's quite some time and a lot of gil left to go through.

It's a good idea, at least. I don't necessarily want to be a picky COR, but I understand I have the right to be a little picky considering the gil spent per-party.

So am I assuming I'm correct though when I say hunter's has diminishing returns compared to other rolls if the melee are 85%+ or higher in acc? Or will that last 5-10% acc be way more powerful in the long run, than say, something like warrior's roll? I still haven't gotten use to using corsair's, but I do realize it's exp/hr boost is intense as well.

To put it more simply, at what % accuracy does hunter's roll lose out to another roll such as samurai, fighters, chaos, and/or corsair's roll?
