Ugh, accuracy

Hey, I was just wondering how the accuracy system worked. I was questing on my balance in the Wyrd and I have 103% accuracy and I still fizzled. Is this a bug?

No. There is always a chance of fizzle, no matter what your stats add up to. You just have a much less chance of fizzling at a higher stat rate.

There will always be a.01% chance of fizzle because in this game nothing is absolute. But the basic accuracy should be thought of like this;

Take a 100 sided dice and roll it each spell you cast, if you roll under your accuracy the spell resolves, if you roll over it then it fizzles.

My pyro has 110 accuracy yet does fizzle every once and a long while.

Well, that's KI math. Even with over 100% accuracy, you can still fizzle.

I think it was because I cast a supernova. I thought it had normal balance accuracy, but found out it had 20% less. I agree with the math thing, I was never good at math but I can do better than what the developers did. No offence, I guess math just isn't their thing. XD
