Accuracy Stat is overrated?

No, the issue is that you compare an endgame focused item on a build that completely disregards any Accuracy, which is ironic, because you are decreasing your DPS overall. Without Accuracy your build will eventually hit a wall. You invest into big hits instead of constant hits, which is fine in lower level content, but becomes very quickly noticeable in T14+ content. The occasional big hit does not outweigh the constant stream of DPS you can achieve by simply not disregarding Accuracy.

In fact, you can build a very simple ST build using Lycosidae and a decent enough weapon and breeze through that content with an investment of a couple chaos. That's 100% chance to hit.

"Good enough" will always be worse than "Good".

Just build your character properly upfront. Given all the options we currently have, this is easier than ever.

Damage from Steel rings directly translates into huge DPS increase in the end, because it gets modified by all the modifiers while Accuracy is about bit different story.

It's exactly the same story though. Accuracy = DPS, straight-up. Hitting more means that Steel Ring damage actually does anything at all, Accuracy enables 'all the modifiers'. A single good Accuracy modifier can be equivalent to 7-8.5% More Damage, by jacking up Chance to Hit from 85% to 90-92% - and that's assuming zero Crits.

Like I said, they were fine because it's just a t11 Map. Crushing a t11 Map is not a noteworthy feat, and unless your build is exclusively made for stomping Strands (Vaal Spark/Fireball are, for example), it's not a relevant metric.

No, you don't need Accuracy to crush Shaped Strand. It won't make a noticable difference because Attack rates are fucking nuts, barely even feel the many whiffs. Same way that a Steel Ring doesn't make a noticable difference, you can unequip a ring and it's not actually a big deal. It's still there though, and it's multiplicative with literally everything except flat Accuracy.

You will enjoy exiles that are Evasion based. Or any "Shrouded" rare mob with or without the "of Evasion" suffix.

They will all laugh at you while you try to land a single arrow.

if you play a weak build that isnt mowing everything insight anyway you will see why accuracy is needed, in general accuracy is best to be kept around 90%, any less and its you are severely losing dps.Try testing it out on long fights with high hp mobs, you will see how big the difference between 70% and 90% accuracy is on crit build

TLDR: Literally anything can be deemed "good enough" when it deals insane amounts of damage anyway. So, yes, Accuracy is a key factor and overall very important as you go up the tiers. It evidently increases your overall DPS and sustainability, since a hit that didn't connect obviously won't apply on-hit effects such as Leech or Life Gain on Hit.


PS: I say "you", doesn't mean I particularly address you. I just don't know how else to phrase it.

I am not using HoWa atm. I am talking about other people.

This char with 86% accuracy is non-crit character.

Is it the Oro's Raider?

Dude... I mean, really? Where should I begin?

The fact that you use Head Hunter? The Gull? Emberwake? Taming?

Or all of them together? On a Raider? With lots of Frenzy charges? With a sword that has 30% increased Accuracy Rating base?

Accuracy in a build like this doesn't matter that much in such low content, lol. You make up for it by just using insane damage.

But that doesn't mean one can't do better. In fact, it would be a cake walk with a proper build.

Instead... Shaped Shores:

If I had only 1 of your items, I could literally outfit 70+ people with a build that can farm at least T15 double boss maps, all with mods and Breaches.
