    SW/Slug TP Accuracy

    So I did a little searching but couldn't find much data concerning the issue on whether SW/Slugshot has increased accuracy from 100tp vs 150tp.

    Most ws's I know dont change in damage/accuracy from 100 to 150 but rather in increments of 100's.

    So if you know the answer and/or have some data to back it up please post

    Although most info you'll find will only state the change from tp @ 100,200,300 tp, there is still change at smaller steps. No one wanted to test the difference at smaller descrete steps (and with changes in the last few years, this would be close to impossible now.)

    Unfortunately for something like ranged acc on a WS like Sidewider, you'd have to do hundreds of WS. You're only going to find personal experience and emperical evidence, no raw data.

    Speaking of which, does anybody know exactly what the description means by the inaccurate part, like if it suffers some kind of accuracy penalty or if it doesn't have an accuracy boost that other WSs do?

    Most WS's do not have an accuracy boost (imo), but this actually has an accuracy penalty.

    This has been brought up before (in reference to BLU spells iirc), but a while back now Nagamaki showed that with a number of WSs at least, the TP bonuses increase in a piecewise linear fashion from 100% to 200%, and from 200% to 300%. So if, for instance, you knew fTP at 100% and 200%, 150% would be halfway between those two, 180% would be 4/5 of the way between, etc. I think in the absence of any contradictory data, I'd use that assumption even for the various other TP-related WS attributes.

    As an old school RNG who lvled at mid 50 when sushi wasn't out there yet. 100TP and 150TP showed a difference. Big one? I don't think so.

    Regardless, if you have an x amount of racc in order to hit the mob with y% hit rate, then expect x+~30 racc on your gear in order to see your slugwinder landing about the same hit-rate as your TPing phase.
