I can't agree with this and if you ran that all boss CoT mission in beginning of Midnighters arc on any of your 50s for example, I doubt you would either. Unless of course you lowered your game diff. For me tho making my enemies weaker so I can slot only 1 acc is not desirable.

I like that you make the assumption I only play on easy. I can easily make the assumption that your skill isn't quite up to par for playing on harder difficulties and that's why you find those missions difficult with 1 accuracy, but you wouldn't like that.
So, let's be fair and say your milage may vary and 1 accuracy has worked for me through most of the game's content, including Invincible lvl 50 STF's, LGTF's, ITF's, Midnighter's arcs, AV soloing, etc. If you are having difficulty in your experiences then please ask the appropriate question next time instead of making fault assumptions about other players.

For standard 1.0 accuracy powers and one even-level SO's worth of accuracy enhancement, here's how your chances to hit break down versus enemies higher than your level:
+1: (1.0 * 1.33) * 0.65 = 0.8645, 86.45%
+2: (1.0 * 1.33) * 0.56 = 0.7448, 74.48%
+3: (1.0 * 1.33) * 0.48 = 0.6384, 63.84%
This information comes from Luminara's elegant guide to the Archery set. Personally, because I can't always control the level of mobs I'm fighting, I shoot for about 1.5 SOs worth of accuracy per power.

The only assumption I meant to imply is when my lvl 50 slotted 2 acc AND leadership and a few global acc gets reduced to 30-40% chance to hit fighting 2-3 +3 CoT dark using bosses...Your skill would have to be WAY above the bar and well above my humble skill to succeed same mission with one less ACC SO. If so kudoes to you, but hardly think that such a skilled player should give the newer players the idea that slotting less acc works for all playstyles.
And again as I stated before there are also even exception in certain powers that offer def buff/debuffs
I mention work well with only 1. If you claim to not be one of the set/combos I mentioned, I honestly would say I do not believe you, but if you were to prove it I would be mightily impressed and would not begrudge you that your skill surpasses mine.. you would not be first and doubt you'd be last to fall in that heading. 
On a side note I love the detail and char bios on your virtue vrs. In particular Dredge and Ghoro and look forward to reading the others whenb you finish them.
hmmmmm, maybe I need to investigate and figure out this V verse myself.. kinda like the idea of writing my chars stories.. lest some of them.

It's not purely skill, it's merely help from to hit buffs. It's all incorporated into a larger equation that decides whether you hit or not. Accuracy can only boost your odds in small amounts, whereas a little accuracy paired with a little to hit buffage can go quite a bit further.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to put much time into their stories and backgrounds. Each character eventually crosses paths with the others, so I mean for their stories to be part of something greater in the end. I'm glad you like my work though.

Love that idea, two of my favorite authors growing up did that with their various different series about different heroes and even worlds..yet crossed em and tied em all together.. Michael Moorcock
Marget Weis and Tracy Hickman
edit: yeah 3 but never really liked anything Weis or Hickman didwhen not working together..so I count them as 1

Before IOs, I always slotted 2 ACC in every attack with SOs. I [censored] HATE missing and CoV just loves to throw enemies at you who have to-hit debuffs.
After IOs I always aim for +70% ACC in every attack.

Same here. The whiff-whiff-whiff-WHIFF! when something like Shadow Maul or Thousand Cuts misses especially grates on my nerves.
Since I run relentless or ruthless all the time I like to have 2 ACC in my key powers. You can't do damage if you can't hit! wiffing cuts my dps hard and dps translates directly into survivability on the harder challenge levels.

Thought this was very interesting quite a bit I didn't know in here about your chance to hit : http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Streakbr...Streak_Breaker
Edit: scroll down to Notes and Observations.. that's the part I was like oohhh
When it comes to nonset IO'd toons, I always put one Acc SO or one generic Acc IO. I tend to slot lvl25 generic IO's on all my toons past 22 and get by just fine. When I slot sets, I try to fit in a little bit of +Acc but only if there's nothing else I want.

Hey guys a while back there was a thread detailing why only 1 acc was needed in attack powers. Is there anyone that can shed the light on that? I can't remember all the exact reasons and sg members and I are discussing that right now. Seems the last thread was purged in the last go thru.
Thanks in advance

Here's my experience with slotting attacks with different levels of accuracy enhancements.
My Scrapper was lvl 34 at the time of this experiment I conducted. I had a Freak radio mission set to invincible(difficulty levlel 5). I attacked Lts. with 1 accuracy enhancement(accuracy 1.35). The attacks had a 75% chance to hit. The amount of times I missed was quite noticeable and very uncomfortable.
I exited the mission, ran to the store and bought a second accuracy enhancement for all attacks(accuracy 1.70). Upon returning to those Freak Lts. I found the attacks were now landing at 95%.
I found having attacks above the 1.35 mark is better for me since hitting 95% of the time is beneficial in that it now takes less attempts to defeat enemies which incidently means expending less endurance.
I'd suggest you take the time to conduct this experiment with your SG buddies sometime. Run an invincible mission with 1accuracy(1.35 or 1.42), check combat log, then rerun the scenario with accuracy at 1.70(or 1.84) and experience the results first hand.
Let me repeat I am not telling you how to play the game. I merely offer a suggestion.
edit: Ah I seem to have forgotten one detail. IF you can guarantee your character will ALMOST ALWAYS team with someone running Tactics, then you can go with an accuracy rating of 1.35.
Okay I'm done talking now.

Some people in the Acc Weenie Club slotted 95% Acc in the power AND had global acc bonuses.
