Accuracy from passives and agility removed - what replaces it?

[Mad_Bombardier]

Unless you're a pedant of course it does. It mitigates their B/P/E. The higher your finesse the less they are going to BPE and the more you'll hit them. That's what normal people mean by 'missing' - not hitting the target.

Thank you for defining "normal." I reject your definition and substitute my own. Miss, as used in this thread, literally means the floaty word MISS as seen ingame.

You are correct that mathematically, attacks that are B/P/E do no damage and are equivalent to misses in the damage calculations. However, we can talk about two different things with similar characteristics. Oranges and lemons are both citrus. Oranges ≠ lemons.

The issue of Finesse and avoidances is quite clear at this point. Some people just want to know about the specific MISS calculations.
