Getting basic accuracy up to 110% seems incredibly difficult at early raid gear levels, and does not leave much room for stacking any other stats like surge or crit. I'm sitting with accuracy in every Enhance slot I can get my hands on, and even augment for it, and I still cant get over 105% Basic accuracy. SO the question becomes, do we attain Basic Accuracy of 110%, or Tech and Special accuracy, since they share the same Accuracy amount?

From the decoding project, it looks like they take their accuracy from Special.

Ezmode and I are working on a number for the accuracy cap. It's still +10% accuracy through talents/gear that we've proven right now. We'll be able to give a more definitive answer here soon.

I'm very much inclined to agree with you on this. I was sitting at 104.88% Basic Accuracy last night, and after making my previous post replaced a good amount of 'Acc' to get me down to 110% Special before running about 3 heroics, and I was still perfectly hitting even Bosses. I still missed regularly with my offhand splash damage from RS and Unload, but that damage is so scant it doesn't matter (Missing one or two ticks of 35 damage is not something I'll lose sleep over).

And as for the Crit/Surge/Power Adrenals, I have crafted the Rakata adrenal of Crit and power, and have found that with the 2 piece Eliminator's bonus, A crit/Surge trinket popped, and a Power Adrenal on, 6k Heatseekers and 4k Tracers are a reality. I almost want to switch to a Power Relic now, since Heatseeker has a 50% chance to crit currently. I almost want to say that past 35% crit, and 70% surge, power is the stat to have. I almost want to value it above surge. Yes Surge increases the damage of our crits, but power does that as well, AND the damage of our scarce non-crits, which is an overall dps gain IMO, but the scaling of each stat is what needs to be discovered. Has anyone seen if there are diminishing returns on surge?
