    bard, magic accuracy

    I tried to use the search function for this, but it's down.

    Does anyone know of any solid data that quantifies the contribution of magic accuracy gear to resist rates on songs? I have heard that it makes a difference, but am not sure how much. Basically, I want to know whether to wear my Goli cuffs, AF1 or sha'ir while I wait for the items to drop for my AF+1 hands.

    Thanks for any advice. ^^

    Well magic accuracy effects magic, and brd songs are under the magic category. So... 1+1?

    I did some checking, but can't find any solid info anywhere on how m.acc compares to +skill gear and +CHR. Not on whether it affects rates, but how much. Only data I can find are on (nonBG) wiki, which suggests that 1 MAcc is equivalent to 2 Attr (MND, INT, or CHR as relevant), with no source quoted. If true, this would put Goli cuffs (+4MAcc) as equivalent to +8 CHR when determining resist rates, assuming no tier effect (and there may well be one at 110+ total CHR). Seems a bit high.

    Really needs a statistically relevant dataset. I've tried a few builds on fairly resistant mobs (bosses on floors 60+ in Nyzul), but no real trends so far.

    If anyone has a relevant dataset, please feel free to PM me, many thanks.

    I don't have brd level, but tested Magic accuracy gear on rdm (morrigan cuffs, morrigan head, Balrahn ring, omega ring, and rdm jse) for sleep and nukes. The effect varies greatly with base skill. At ~240 Skill, Macc is like 0,6 skill ; At ~280 1 mac=1skill ; at ~322 skill macc owns skill, like 1 Mac=1.3 or better, still lacking data there. I'm assuming it works the same for brd. If you want to test you can try to sleep ebony buddings in Mount Zayolm. An average rdm should get 50% success.
