some experienced RNG advice on how much TP needed to balance the low ACC in avg XP partys might be helpful. --Kerah 16:00, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Even though I just got the WS a few levels ago, I remember reading somewhere to wait until 150%. --IanYuy 14:53, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

From my experience I consider the reduced accuracy on this something along the lines of a - stat, say 50 or so, because from what I've seen parsed, enough +ranged accuracy gear/buffs can give a capped hit rating on sidewinder. --Garadante 05:25, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

By 75 you will not need to save TP on XP mobs to worry about accuracy with relatively decent gear.

If you are dealing with more difficult mobs, then I would suggest either holding TP until ~150 where accuracy seems to stabilize or using sushi. RNG is not my main so doesn't have top notch gear, and I choose the sushi route because Sushi is overkill on accuracy and lets me fire off Sidewinder at 100TP while 150TP without Sushi still isn't perfect accuracy. A Sushi based Sidewinder hit does more damage than a Meat based 150TP miss, that and you will be getting 3 Sushi based Sidewinders for every 2 Meat based one. I don't think even the difference Meat makes for Ranged Attacks can make up for that.

If your gear is superior and you have the merits to support it, then you shouldn't have to make that compromise. --Ringthree 19:52, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
