Accuracy Shards?

There are multiple survivors, all eager to help. The problem is there are very few unexplored questions and thread topics left.

Accuracy issue on a barb depends mostly on build and playstyle. First, builds:

The vit build has the hardest time with accuracy because they only add 1 dex every 2 levels, 6 str for axes, the rest into vitality. You have a couple of "no miss" skills and a glitch in your favor. Flesh Ream, Mighty Swing, and sage Beastial Onslaught are never miss skills. The glitch is on mobs if you land a Devour attack you recieve 100% accuracy until that mob is dead.

The dex heavy builds are people who add 80-120 dex to their build, then 3 strength and 1-2.5 vitality. This build has good accuracy, a few crits, and good aggro because you don't miss as often and generate more aggro from damage. In PvP this is a good option because the higher base accuracy combined with 50% accuracy rings puts your accuracy on par with a sins (unbuffed) evasion allowing you a decent chance to land a hit.

Clawbarb build. Enough dextery to use endgame claws, typically 200 with gear, 3 strength per level, and only whats leftover into vitality. Has great accuracy, great crits, and generates aggro from damage as well as skills, but sacrifices vitality. +50% rings become more optional but are still generally used.

Playstyle:
A few options are use of Bloodbath, 50% accuracy rings, and the devour skill. Bloodbath is a nice options with vitality build because you can almost chose do I want accuracy or survivabiliy (can't unchose it for 10 minute after its on, though). If you use Devour on a boss that means the DDers get a damage boost giving them a higher possibility to steal aggro, but you only need to use it once for the 100% accuracy.

The main reason people shard ambers in their weapons is for Armageddons. If you are going to sacrifice half your hp around something that's trying to kill you you want to make sure your hit lands and they die.

Are you saying any pdef debuff causes your barb to glitch 100% accuracy?

Easiest way to find out is test it on a sin or archer. I'll most definitely try it next time I log ingame. I'd be most pleased if it worked in pk/tw b:pleased

I very highly doubt this to be true. I have often missed mobs even when devoured (have capped at 60dex atm).

This!

I have 60 dex and with devour or p.armor I still miss a bunch.

Does not work in PK, but is effective in PVE. b:surrender

Tested out PA, it gives 100% accuracy also. For this reason I consider my barb to have ~7-8% more dps than my bm because my BMs 93% hit rate on [?] bosses vs my barbs 100% accuracy rate.
