Does Spring Attack need to be slotted for Accuracy?

[Story Archer]

And if so, how much? It doesn't come up with an accuracy percentage on Mids. It doesn't have a radius for it either, now that I look at it.

 

I tried to search the forums but either I'm never able to come up with anything when I do that (or I get everything, it's always one or the other).

Per CoD it has a base accuracy of 1.0

 

I'd slot it for Accuracy, unless somehow the range was the reason for taking it.

Mid's seems to have issues displaying 2-part attacks (the 1st part is the teleport, the 2nd part is the damage). It has the same problem with Savage Leap (although oddly not Burst of Speed, Lightning Rod or Shield Charge). 

 

Per the link above the radius is 15 ft, but note that there is additional damage to targets within a 5 ft radius.

Thanks for the response - just out of curiosity, for us lay-people, what does the 1.0 accuracy mean? I assume it references how enhancements affect it, but what does the base accuracy work out to, percentage-wise?

I'm not sure why, I thought it was a bit wider than this. If you are going to proc-bomb it, does it check for the procs at the wider range only, or does it let you double-dip by checking for them twice, once at each range?

If you were using this power on a Tanker prior to the Tanker nerf... it was.  Tankers had a global arc/radius boost that would have affected this power and made it 22.5ft radius but still proc like it was a 15ft radius power.

 

Now it's a 15ft radius power for all and it procs like a 15ft radius power.  The proc chance should calculate based on the power's radius, not the inner radius of that one effect.

I interpret 1.0 base accuracy as "against even-level enemies, with no other buffs or debuffs in play, the character will have the default ToHit chance"... and also as "I'd had better slot accuracy". Most attacks have a base accuracy of 1.0... the powers to watch out for are the ones that are much worse. There were a few with incredibly high base accuracies. The most recent page (i28p2) address some powers on both sides of the 1.0 divide.

 

If the character had some +ToHit or global accuracy, you might be able to avoid slotting for accuracy, but mileage will vary depending on what you are facing.

This is the same accuracy as most standard attacks, so against even cons with no defense buffs or debuffs in play, 75% chance.

[Doomguide2005]

To elaborate it's the same Accuracy as found in the Attack Mechanics article where the Acc is multiplied by the bounded To Hit and Defense mods.  And 1.0 multiplied by a value is that value.

This is what I was looking for - thanks!
