What are your thoughts on using Kubira bead necklace over PCC or c-chain?
 
This would be a nice piece to swap in for a Weapon Skill, but not all the time.

PCC or C-Chain would be better to TP in.
 
Yes... exactly what veld said.
 
For Drakesbane? Flame/Light Gorget, Love Torque, or PCC/PCA.

Chiv chain v. Kubira would be debatable. If accuracy is capped, Flame/Light Gorget would still be your best bet, but I would move PCC/PCA to the bottom of the list if that was the case.

I use it for any WS that can crit, if my acc is high enough to take pcc off. In most situations, pcc will win, and yeah it's a close call between kubira & chiv.

Sea Gorgets beat all of these however, if you have access to sea, get them.

Torques, meh, prolly beat Kubira but i think only Love will beat gorgets, and even then only for WS like Drakesbane.
 
For meriting situations, you'll need 400-410 total acc to maintain a 95% hit rate vs Greater Colibri, more if you're at mamools and certainly more vs HNM if you're fighting them. Even with capped merits it's not easy to wear haste pieces and keep this up. Since the neck slot is more or less dominated by accuracy, I'd go with the PCC if you can get your hands on it unless it was the situations people have already mentioned.

Kubira was never zomg awesome to me, especially after changing from Penta to Drakes.

Yeah, as far as I know it's only a month or two older than the most recent update which added in those pizzas, but I'm sure they'll add it eventually.

And NP! Have fun in Dynamis this Sunday! I don't think I'll be making it. :(

Sushi usually makes up for the difference; at birds it's not an option unless you like tossing away gil. Like SD said, it's easier for two handers and especially DRGs with a free 22 Accuracy. I'd be happy to post my gear if you're wondering, but I can tell you on birds my decently equipped DRG is extremely close to cap without food and with Hasso up. On mamools I use meat simply because the accuracy on sushi is overkill for most of the mobs, except the disgustingly evasive Lurkers.

They can burn in hell.

which is why I have a macro with on the order of +40 acc above my normal gear just for them, still don't cap acc on them but it makes things tolerable.

I was planning to grab a flame gorget to see how it compares with love torque for drakesbane but computer died so everything is on hold. Kubira can probably work, especially if you have polearm merits and are using a body peice with acc on it, as drg really doesn't need all that much acc, since I use ares body I pretty much need acc in the neck slot, will it beat gorgets if you don't need acc, I don't know, I'll probably come back to you with what math says a bit later.

drg can use meat on basically anything, especially with polearm merits but even without if you can use homam body it basically makes up for the acc you lose, but leaves you unable to macro in much more acc to help with things like lurkers.

Please do post the results of this when you get the chance as I'm really interested to see how this turns out.
 
Thank you for the feedback. I still might go ahead and get the bead necklace to try out since i have 28k ampoules and not much to buy except necklace or iota ring. After getting Drakesbane, i am not very impressed so far to be honest. The crits seem to be all over the place and i'm wondering if people are stacking str and acc for it or going over to more dex to help crits?

Yeah I usually swap out haste gear, it's not doing any good when you're at a ~50% hit rate.

Sort of off topic but has anyone parsed their favorite meat dish vs pizza at mamools? Specifically the north camp where you pull NIN and THF regularly. Pizza should be enough to cap on all of the other mamools and maintain a decent hit rate on lurkers with accuracy swaps.
