Focused Accuracy Numbers?

Hi does anyone know FA numbers, if FA was unslotted what would the bonus to accuracy be?

Don't know the exact figures but in I5 I think about 2 to hit buffs replaced the need for accs in your powers

Things are different now in I6 though. Not that much

I was kickin about this morning facing some reds and purples and I wasn't hitting as much as I used to but I still didn't die

Nonetheless, the power is well worth takin

I use 3 to hit buffs at L45 and have no roblem with +4s/AVs/Giant Monsters.

The Base to hit buff has remained the same

It also provides resistance to to hit debuffs and +perception so is a top notch power in my books!

The base to hit buff has remained the same, but the effectiveness of the enhancements has reduced from Schedule A ( 33% per SO ) to Schedule B ( 20% per SO ).

Sufice to say, three slots for AccBuff in FA is still enough to enable you to strip Acc out of your powers.

Given that Defender Tactics 3 slotted ( 12.5% base ) or Targetting Drone 3 slotted ( 15% base ) are enough to remove one ACC from all attacks, I would guess that Focussed Accuracy with either 25% or 33% base buff will possibly be able to remove 2 ACC SOs from all attacks.

I may be the odd one here but I found that since I6 and the need for lots of colours in you slotting, the body mastery pool went from my scrapper. It was mainly taken for FA, and the ability to 6 slot my attacks with damage, since 6 slotting the same SO is gone as a viable option now, there was no need for FA anymore as I was forced to reslot my attacks, so I chose acc and damage. The upside of this is that in the PvP zones where the epics are lost due to the level and on TF's and missions where you are exemp'd you do not lose acc from your attacks, It also gave me the choice of another epic pool which has holds. So now not only can I hold and damage I can also exemp'd without missing half my attacks. FA is an end hog anyway. It has its upsides but I have found more up's without it.

I'm probably going to remove this power when i do my respec closer to lvl 50. it's a total end hog, and with ED U can't 6 slot Stamina to keep up with it. i have end reducers in all my attacks as well as all my toggles, even 3 slotted with end reduction I can only have it running really when Conserve power is up. With the loss of perma hasten and ED it's just not worth it IMO. As Dime said above, it's just not worth the end cost or acc bonus. When you enter a pvp zone all epics are removed, so you need the acc in your attacks anyway.

I came to the conclusion that it didn't seem like a great power choice anymore. In I5 my aim was to have Focussed Accuracy and go for 6 slot damage with 6 slotted stamina and 6 slotted quick recovery.

In my respec I went with Tactics to replace the 2nd acc in my attacks for my scrapper and am not sure which epic pool to go for.

How is Focused Acc not worth it when it can take 2 acc SOs out of your attacks!?

You can slot for something like end reducer so you don't drain as much end.

Best slotting I reckon now is 3 damage 2 recharge and either 1 acc or 1 end reducer for attacks, you need 3 damage, that part's given, you need 2 recharges to keep up with loss of Perma Haste, and the Acc if you ain't having end problems and end reducer if you're struggling. This is all assuming you have focused acc, even without I still wouldn't consider slotting more than one acc, I like to be effective.

I have 3damage 1end 1recharge 1acc 50++'s or higher in nearly all attacks, I dont use hasten much and have 4 slotted stamina. On big damage atacks I have 3damage 2acc 1end. I find I can now take on a group of purple Death Mages and minions 2-3 mages and some minions, with very little trouble. The end drain seems less now so end dont need slotting much. Some of my powers debuff a bit so I have a bit more time anyway. FA just aint worth it anymore, without 6 slotted stamina a real big fight leaves you well drained witthout extra end slotting, now I hardly have any end issues and can exemp without a problem.

The above quote is from me. I must say I wasn't very clear on that sentence, I was referring only to my own character.

My character wants to keep the accuracy of 2 SOs.

My character wants to keep his single target attack chain, which, with Hasten, was Ripper, Lunge, Impale, Lunge. This is not possible without 2 recharges on those attacks ( need to double check whether this is the case for all of them ).

My choices are Focussed Accuracy ( not available yet ), Tactics + 1 SO or 2 SOs.

I'm not sure what the to hit buff of focussed accuracy is but it would have to be around 33% or so to give the accuracy I desire. I am assuming it is this or better slotted.

Focussed accuracy will be better than the other 2 options against high defence foes. All the acc options will cap against reds.

My concerns are not really about end drain ( they would be if I was not regen which is why my tank doesn't have focussed accuracy ) but about options. With focussed accuracy I can't exemp without reslotting.

If I get toggle dropped somehow ( run out of end or held ) with tactics + 1 ACC or with 2 ACCs I am in better shape than if I rely focussed accuracy. If I decide to run whirlwind, I can turn off tactics to save end and still have a chance of hitting.

This is a very close decision, it is definitely not a slating of Focussed Accuracy. However it was certainly more powerful pre ED.

I hardley ever use Lunge anymore, I've got Laser Beam Eyes and Energy Torrent to use instead, which, with ED anyway adds needed extra AoE damage.

Well I reckon it shines just the same with ED, let's you put more End reductions or Recharges in instead of Accuracy.

I still have 1 accuracy in everything (Bar LBE and En Torrent), but that's only because I spend all my time in PvP zones now.
