People probably avoided answering this for two reasons:
1) They don't know the answer. I can tell you that you can't go overboard on Acc against that Mandy. We use ES Impact, Hunter's Roll, and Marcato Blade Madrigal + Sword Madrigal with very well-geared melees eating Sushi and they generally still do not have a capped hit rate.
2) You used the phrase "punch through counter." This implies that you can somehow overcome enemy's Counter trait using accuracy, which isn't true. You can reduce their counter rate by increasing your evade rate, but not by increasing your accuracy.
Hmm, it was my understanding that the attacker had to fail an accuracy check in order for the defender to counter under normal circumstances. Not sure where that came from lol o.o Anyway, thanks for clearing it up for me.

I think the augments of wailing are exact the same than the verdigris plus a chance of mdt, aside weapons, where some new categories were implemented.
If you dont find a particular augment for +1, try researching the nq version.
Well, as the talk is skirmish, someone know the acuex gimmicks (to prevent him to be spammy)?

And I deliberately didn't answer you as well because I've never fought that NM. Probably just another instance of getting my wires crossed about something. XD
The basic point of the question was to get an idea of how much accuracy (like, a numerical value to shoot for) people have been using for that NM, but I'm glad that my apparent misunderstanding of counter mechanics was cleared up at least.

Can upgraded Skirmish weapons (113, 119) be mailed to mules as long as they are unaugmented? BG Wiki says yes but I just wanted to confirm.

I'm a noob to gearswap. Is there any increased risk of detection for potential ban hammers from using gearswap? I know it uses packets, which if I recall correctly is how claim bots work. Thanks~

Increased risk? Hard to say, but thousands of people are using packet manipulating tools and aren't banned. I see people flee hack through Jeuno daily.

What are the staple blu spells to set now? .I have a 99 blu and was wanting to get back into it and farm the SoA spells, but I remember a couple years ago you set certain ones for traits, or certain ones to proc in aby, but you also basically had a set of spells for basic utility that did high damage and were versatile. Disseverment, magic fruit, the erase spell (promivion wind maybe?), and the spell you could use to self dark sc. Was wondering what that currently is so I can get back into BLUing it up.

Proth's guide has a really solid breakdown depending on subjob and situation, but the key traits to set are Dual Wield (if any sub besides NIN, which you basically never sub now), Double Attack/Triple Attack (again depending on sub), Store TP (depends on weapon delay, total DW, and what other traits you NEED), and the rest is kinda up to your playstyle. Most of the spells you'll want to cast are contained in those traits with the exception of some healing, refresh, other support spells, specific debuffs, etc.

A merited WHM with 5/5 Shellra5 gives ~23% -MDT, yes? Which is part of the 50% cap, and not independent of -MDT/-DT from gear, yes? (Disregarding Aegis)
A PLD says he wears -45% MDT taken in gear because Shellra5 adds nothing to it and the MDB it grants is factored in entirely separate and differently. He SWORE this on his 10 years of playing PLD.
Everything I've read states what I wrote above to be true, but after talking to this PLD I could really use some confirmation here.

Personally i ride out full MDT/then stack mdb or int where i can just because i can't always count on shell being a factor, a quick dispel or it wears while the whm is busy i just prefer to be safe. To my understanding is yes shell is part of your total mdt but yes you can kinda of stack mdb after cap but with marginal differences. I also use aegis but on jobs like war or drk i prefer to just sit in 50% DT gear and not worry about shell.

Been so long since I've played it that I couldn't even remember the spells I used to set all the time, and it was becoming a headache to try to remember since there are so many and I forgot which combos produce the traits. ><

A merited WHM with 5/5 Shellra5 gives ~23% -MDT, yes? 27.3? BG.A bit more with aug/reforged af2 pants, don't know how much. I haven't checked exact numbers in a while, but I do know it's more than 23%.

everything that matters dispels, if you're planning to be in range of it and need magic defense, aim for capped mdt in a full turtle set and count shell as a bonus to use a more hybrid set, never have your most defensive sets rely on outside buffs.
Edit: fully merited shellra V with Aug Relic legs/109/119 is -29.3% MDT, if you're wearing sheltered ring or an equivalent when it's cast on you, you get an additional, but very small, boost. You need -21% MDT in gear to cap.

It's much faster to actually use blood pacts on mobs, but you have to be at the computer, actually playing. Scripts let you skill up, much more slowly, but while you're off doing other things.
For those of you that visit Bg you already know the premise of this thread but for those that don't, it's simple.
