I'd use conventional acc rings like woodsman/sniper's on dancer until you're able to get your hands on Kusha/Lava. Blood ring would be nice too if you can get that.

If your dex is odd, it is SLIGHTLY better than a 5 acc ring. If your dex is even it is SLIGHTLY worse than a 5 acc ring.
If you have no 2hander, you may as well just fork over the 50k and get an 5 acc ring, unless you have absolutely nothing else to spend amuples on.

That out of the way, drop tamas get rajas.

Guess you might get some use out of it if you were a Dagger/Dagger DNC. I can't imagine much of a accuracy problem on anything you'd actually use DNC on given the ACC traits and high dagger skill. If Joytoy offhand I couldn't see this as having any use. I don't know much about DNC personally. Given DNC's relationship with DEX I can't see this ever breaking a crit tier for you. 5 ACC ring looks better than this in any circumstance for DNC imo.

Tamas just works as -1 inven spot for MND & INT rings if you strictly play mage jobs. If you play anything that relies on physical dmg, it's definitely worth getting Rajas, even if it's just 1 class out of the many mages you play.

If you enjoy your WHM SMN SCH more, keep tamas. SCH is my main and I love it more than my NIN or DNC so I dropped my rajas for a tamas.

Lol tamas. Go go inventory space +1 with little to no real improvement in actual casting.

As far as one handers go assuming you need the acc, blu spells, vorpal blade, um any thf ws worth using would like to say what up.

And worse cause scenario the difference between Iota and woodsman is rediculously smaller than the difference between head long and swift.

Thing is that even if you're a pld main, Rajas > Sattva lol. Attonements you get from the stp will do more than that 3 enmity over time.

Yeah, if you had been around at the time of that thread, OP was a PLD-only and asking whether she should get Sattva or Rajas. My whole post was supporting the Rajas > Sattva for PLD argument.

People saying Iota is an automatic NO for 1handers are wrong.

Iota can be either a +4acc or a +5acc ring for 1handers, depending on what it brings your total DEX to. 2DEX=1Acc, and all fractions are dropped. There's no such thing as a "4.5 Acc" ring (that would just round down to 4). However, the DEX+3 on Iota brings your total DEX to an EVEN number, you're getting 5 Acc from Iota as a 1hander.

If it's a 5acc ring for you, Iota is clearly superior to Woodsman/Sniper's (no negative stats), and at least as good as Blood Ring. Plus Iota has the admittedly small benefits from raw AGI (increased evasion) and DEX (increased crit rate).

Another big thing that is often forgotten is that it's VERY rare to find WS modifier stats on an Acc ring. Iota is especially nice for multi-hit WS (which always need Acc) that have stat mods on Iota. For example, Stringing Pummel (32% VIT mod), Blade: Jin or Dancing Edge (30% DEX mod), or Asuran Fists (10% VIT mod, but better than nothing LOL).

Is Iota better for a 1hander than Toreador's, or Sniper's+1? No. Is it better than a normal 5acc ring? It certainly can be.

Well, if you have a spinel ring with augment of 5-6 acc iota ring can gtfo.
