Increasing accuracy
What are the top buffs/class to increase accuracy?
I have a hard time to score debuffs with my casters.
I am not even talking about strong CC, little debuffs like hobbles which take 3, 4, 5 seconds to cast with 60% efficiency on a 19 perception character.

Depends on your class. For example, Fighter on his first levels have some nice options like Barrage (+5 per) and balanced stance (+5 ACC&DEF), plus a possible upgrade for said stance. Cypher, Chanter and Druid could learn a minor buff or two, but the absolute king of the hill is Priest. In a cast or two he bumps ACC by 25-30, or debuffs a bunch of enemies for -30 or 40.

Melee fighters also apply their shield/weapon bonuses or penalties to skills (that's where lies the true strenght of 1-handed warriors). For instance Superb spear would give you additional 17 ACC.

You can also buff ACC with food/rest bonuses (2 or 3 perception max, there are better options really) and drugs (additional 5). And don't forget about equipment! All those rings, helmets and boots you loot may have even more bonuses!

accuracy only raises for weapon attack by lvl or passive buff skill is being lucky since the only way to reduce magic damage is using a matching armor aganist de element or having a high "dodge"(deflection,will,reflex or fortitude) stats

Class/Level/Perception/Weapon are your accuracy buffs.
Some classes have passives that increase their accuracy and you can debuff enemies defense stats

that is what he is saying he is already trying to debuff and failing he wants to raise the debuff chance

There is also a lower level cleric spell that increases perception +5. (which is +5 accuracy)
AXC629 May 12, 2018 @ 3:54pm 
Paladin [Zealous Aura 2], [Exalted Focus 4]
Priest [Blessing 1], [Dire Blessing 3], [Devotions for the Faithful 4], [Crowns for the Faithful 8]
Wizard [Eldritch Aim 1],
Fighter ]Conquerer Stance 5] [Disciplined Barrage 1] [Tactical Barrage 3]
Druid [ Nature's Bounty 7]
Cipher [Valorous Echoes 1] [Borrowed Instinct 5]
Chanter [The Bride Caught their Ruse and Set to Make them Pay 5] [Set to Their Purpose, They All Knew Their Part 7]
- I also think that weapons with aim bonuses also help. Put a Rapier into your hand before your spell caste (+5 accuracy).

Hope this helps.

Wow, great stuff Auto-x-tacy.
Weapons acc. do not buff spells/abilities acc., they only work for attacking.
