Why so much MACC?Follow

Really? I have no idea. Seems like there's a TON of unnecessary Magic Accuracy on our gear nowadays. Even without MACC roll, I don't think I've ever been resisted (with the right atma) and that was BEFORE all of this new gear. Check it out:

And those are the +1 AF3, the +2 has even more. I really want to know why. It seems a bit overkill to me. GIVE US MAB INSTEAD! If someone really is getting resisted enough to actually need ALL of that MACC, than yerdoinitrong. I've fought some of the hardest mobs in Abyssea (so far) and really do not see myself getting resisted that much, if at all. With atma, enhancement buffs and some old AGI gear, it seems like all the MACC is unnecessary. While there are some nice stats on them, and there is more gear with MAB, I really wish some of these pieces gave MAB instead.

Ovni is one of the few NM's I've found that isn't that resistant to QD. T2 NM's and the like are the ones I can't get QD to hit for full damage ever. Even with Warlocks and Atma of the Heavens. So there is clearly stuff that resists QD for which MACC is beneficial.

Sure wish i knew what the relative value of AGI and MACC is on QD acc. But that is likely to remain one of the mysteries of life.

In the end I'm sure SE has their reasons and its not as silly as it seems. Would be nice if all this was being put into place because they are planning on adding an enfeebling effect to QD and MACC will be needed for it to land. But that's likely wishful thinking.

While I understand that some macc is needed cause, as someone else already said, some high nm can resist badly(rare anyway..), some more mab would be really appreciated :/ I was hoping so much for the frac to have mab and instead...macc, meh.

Not to mention how rare fool's gold ores are now that no one does campaign. Hell, I can't even buy steel ingots to make bullets anymore.
