Question about Accuracy Ratings on Powers

Heya folks, I'm looking at making a new Tank, and having narrowed down my choices down to Martial Arts, Kinetic Melee, or Super Strength, I noticed that KM and SS don't have Accuracy 1.0x to most of their powers, while Martial Arts has an 1.05x Accuracy to it's powers.

How much difference does that extra accuracy for MA make these days? I seem to remember it helping a lot for my old BS Scrapper, but I've only been back playing for a few months now.

1.05 would mean a 5% increase... i.e., no real impact. Vs an even con minion, with no +tohit or other accuracy enhancements, your chance to hit would raise from 75% to 78.75%.

Broadsword, in addition to the raised base accuracy, also has -7.5% Defense on most of the attacks, which would make a far larger (but still largely useless) increase to your chances of hitting.

When you're slotted with SOs or better, the difference will be largely moot. The Defense debuff might help on occasion with some hardened targets... but only if you land a blow first (and it doesn't get resisted to pointlessness).

We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.
