lead me to believe otherwise.
Do your own test seriously, this a stupid statement. If you believe any random crap posted on BG, you better stop playing FF XI. Do comparison on JoL with Freeze II, you'll see how your invisible +25MaCC have no effect unless you MB.
I don't think you realize how +25MaCC at anytime would be huge, even if base hit rate of AM II is a bit lower. That's would be roughly +22 Eleskill.
(and please don't link me to any studies with 200 casts tests, either it's 2x1000+ trials, either results worth nothing).
As for the spell description "magic burst damage by 3, and magic accuracy by 5." it's as vague as the obi description. Lot of people say obi wouldn't increase MaCC of a spell when used with the right day/weather, while we all know that weather/day have an influence on MaCC. Like would casting sleep with darkobi on darksday would help you to get better result ?. If we follow the ingame description of the Obi it should, however some people claims it doesn't.
So description doesn't mean anything either.
Anyway talking about pudding, I suppose all BLM reach 95% hit rate cap on these, having AM II merited or not is irrelevant on this camp.
