Accuracy takes away defense for ranged attacks.

Now, no bosses as far as I know actually got resistance. This means that accuracy what accuracy in practice does for us in pve (and only counting our normal direct dps attacks).

1. It helps hammer shot hit more often.
2. high impact bolt and full auto ignores defence.

I agree with most of this, but HiB/Rail Shot does not get special treatment because it is special (yellow) that ignores defense. Any Ranged attack (you listed three) is subject to defense and any Tech attack (the rest) is subject to resistance.

Here is a summary:
Melee/Ranged Basic: Base 90% accuracy, defendable, need ~18% to cap against boss.
Melee/Ranged Special: Base 100% accuracy, defendable, need ~8% to cap against boss.
Tech: Base 100% accuracy, undefendable, resistible, need 0% to cap against boss.
