"Accuracy Rating" to aim for in endgame builds

This is my first character in a long while where accuracy is a real concern (mostly played RT or spellcaster recently). It also happens to be my first char that gets a lot of "free" flat accuracy from Dexterity.

So, assuming I have 300-350 Dexterity, and want to be reasonably accurate in the endgame (90% chance to hit, give or take) how much "increased accuracy" would I need?

50%? More? None at all? Just need ballpark estimates so I don't end up with crap accuracy 80 levels into the build. ^^

Changed the title because it turned into an informative thread about accuracy in general.

I have 92% chance to hit at the moment at level 89.

176 Base

+774 from Dex

+10%, +10%, +20%, +20% from tree

+29% from Ice Golem

+100% from Fast and Deadly ascendancy.

Hope this helps.

It does, thank you. At the very least you gave me some numbers to play around with. Looks like I'm going to need to lean on accuracy a bit more.

P.S.: Are you sure Fast and Deadly works that way? The wording "Accuracy Rating is Doubled" suggests it works like a "more" multiplier. If that's the case, you may have even more total accuracy than I thought at first glance, which doesn't make my situation any brighter... ^^'

It shows in PoB that fast and deadly is 100% 'more' rather than the others being #% increased. In reality though, I have no hit on gear, so you could get away with much lower % if your base was higher.
Your % inc accuracy scales your flat accuracy from levels, gear and ascendancy. As a critbuild aim for at least 2k total accuracy rating, 3k is ideal. As a noncritbuild you can get away with a little less. (The reason is that crits roll TWICE versus mob Evasion, wheras noncrits don't.)

Thanks for the responses.

I moved a few things around and did a bit of number crunching. It turns out I can cram ~100% increased accuracy into the build, and with a little +Accuracy / +Dexterity from gear it should be comfortable enough.

as you level accuracy will go down. You have to constantly add more and more accuracy. From lv 95+ it's already very vissible. So for that reason I'm using spider shield. But you are probably archer so you need to invest to accuracy pretty heavy. I thing accuracy is more important in long run than people think. Especially if you are crit. Based.
Good rule of thumb is at least 91% chance to hit (before Ice Golem) at lvl 90
I believe 5,000 accuracy is the cap for 95% hit chance. 4,000 total accuracy I'm pretty sure puts you around 90% or right below it, not sure if that helps.

it depends on char. Level. I'm not sure if 5000 at level 98 would give 95%.
