If it's indeed a percentage per tier, then DRK is a big winner here. They would only need to focus on Accuracy gear then, as the Attack traits would counteract the lack of Attack+ gear. DRK and WAR actually have those options though. The Argosy set (+1 especially) bleeds accuracy so hard (up to +234), that pretending DRGs native ACC advantage (62ish over DRK) as a justification for an even bigger ATT deficiency (compared to WAR and DRK) is laughable at best.
uhhh, that's WS gear only

Doesn't seem like you can yet. Probably as servers go up / a bit before that.

You seem to be missing the point. Collectively, the +1 set can provide up to 234 ACC.
DRG's vaunted obscene ACC lead is only 62 higher than DRK. Argosy +1 head slot alone can provide 50 ACC.
I'm going to assume you can figure out where I'm going from here without holding your hand.

Its not the accuracy that's bad *** about Argosy+1, its the stacked intrinsic DA, as well as the set's bonus DA, the massive amount of STR and ATK. All that available with very high dex/accuracy makes it the wet dream of weaponskill sets.
The lack of any defensive stats makes it a death wish to tp in.

Have you ever seen a war/drk TP in Argosy+1 outside of Apex parties and fodder?
I have the set and every time I want to show off uber dps I get floored and eat ground.

Full Argosy +1? I'd imagine not.
But you only need one piece to cover most of that accuracy deficiency compared to DRG.

Dragoon (but moreso Monk) has my sympathies. But bringing up Argosy as a TP option on almost anything that actually requires that much accuracy is hilarious given the general reliance on Vex/Attunement on those types of targets as well as the lack of any MDB/INT. Even one piece is going to cripple most strategies that use a GEO for meva.

How do you think Alchemists feel, atleast cooking get a new craft every now and then, other then the cursed stuff i don't think alchemy has seen a new craft for a very long time.

At least we get Tier1 from subbing WAR? I guess.

Smite could make Insurgency very, very powerful.
Dragoon only got two tiers of it because of Stardiver and since it gets 20% Attack Bonus from the Wyvern I suppose.

Argosy +1 has the acc, lacks the def. SE gave us good acc accessories. Sulv +1 has acc and def.
Argosy +1 wins in the acc dept clearly, but we have a +9% double attack belt with good acc with 8% haste and 17 acc, acc/sTP/regen ring now, cessance earring coupled with the new DA/acc/dex earring, and the new ammo -dt/resist status aliment, d-ring, gracile grip +1, and loricate +1.
No these aren't ideal tp pieces, but it is a def/-dt/acc option with 5% DA in earrings, 9% in belt, 5% in hand from sulv +1 and can still wear the ambuscade cape acc/attk/dex/double attk 10%. Talking half decent acc with -45% dt, +11 resist to status aliment, + 29% double attack, +2 regen (minimal I know), and +17 sTP or +32 if you are /sam.

If DRG does only get 2 tiers because they already have a attack buff, then DRK shouldn't get any smite traits. And what does it have to do with stardiver?

That isn't the case anyway. Look at job traits. If SE made a 2hd acc buff trait you can bet your *** drg would get a 5th tier and drk might get 1 if they are lucky. This is SE's lousy idea of a fix, throw on a bunch of attack for a job that doesn't need it.
I had 4494 attack in ambuscade the other day, (I remember that number very well because I made joke about how I needed more attack) giving 2hd more attack wasn't the needed fix, everyone on this site knows that the majority of the people playing the game and have a slight idea of the mechanics of the game know this. SE just doesn't think things through all the time before they push out ideas. i.e. the ridiculously high tp return on penta thrust over a decade ago, the rudra buff about a year and a half ago, the attack buff now.

Was just trying to say that "Job X doesn't need stat Y, because the already got high Y-buffs" is not a good argument in this case.

Personally, im worried about what was "snapped out" from ambuscade reward. I hope its not the REM currency/material/upgrade item, i was making millions with those.
The cinders were absurdelly cheap if you consider the hallmark cost.

Yeah, I figured as much, just wanted to make sure it was clear read for other people that might bring up the same question as to why drk got so much and not drg.
Honestly I am not a drg, I didn't mind the job back at 75 but it wasn't my favorite. I am a drk and rdm main with a very select few jobs after that I actually enjoy, In fact only like 3/5 of the jobs I have leveled on this acnt.
I think the attk trait is straight crap and I am the one getting the huge buff too. SE seriously needs to pull their head out of their ***. Not to mention I am sure we will start seeing a bunch of bandwagon drks now.

Exp/cp rings and a couple of dye were added to total hallmark, the screen items were removed. Currency are safe.
Gallemtry currency this month is empy.

I don't think they will ever remove currency from hallmarks. It's been that way since inception. The only items that change come from total hallmarks. The currency available using gallantry seems to be three random ones.
