(Basically, I don't know if I won't more M.Acc or more elemental magic skill at this level)

There's no (currently known) special relationship between elemental skill and impact so 1 elemental skill = 1 macc. You'll need to do this calculation for each slot to make the comparisons.

here's the math for you, af hands 73, legs 49, feet 54 (set bonus 30)206 total

relic hands 76(assuming merits), legs, 46, feet 59= 181 total

empy hands 62, legs, 63, feet 60 = 185 total

losing a single piece of af also loses 15 points of the set bonus, making af hands, empy legs, af feet a net of 205, upgrading to +4 just expands that lead since af gets another 10 acc per piece where relic only gets 5

This really all depends on what you're doing with impact.

There are 3 scenarios:
1. Guarantee to land the debuff
2. Maximize TP gained
3. Maximize nuke damage

Each will have different gear in them to an extent.
Macc Focus Referenced set above
Matk Focus ItemSet 400277
TP Gain Focus ItemSet 400278

Spoiler Alert! Click to view.
Thank you! I'll shift some things around, as I don't have +4 yet. I'm using Arch. Sabots +3 and Ilmr Earring right now, which puts me at 582 Elemenetal Magic Skill at ML50. If I'm not happy with duration resistance frequency or the damage output (just using Botulus as an eye ball test), then I'll remove these 2 pieces specifically and put more Magic Accuracy in those slots. (Basically, I don't know if I won't more M.Acc or more elemental magic skill at this level).

Depending on what all you're trying to use it on, it very well may not be a magic accuracy issue, but Resistance Ranks. need to SP2 or have a RUN help out with getting around those, or simply accept that you won't be able to land impact for a meaningful duration and skip it against that foe.

Against the Botulus in sortie, it likely isn't resistance rank. It'd just be that you're casting in less than potent nuke gear. DMG is likely your primary goal against that enemy. Shouldn't have an issue landing it in the matk set listed above.
