Spell Accuracy - Why do Casters Get Free Pass?

Warrior's need accuracy to hit a target with an attack, but why is there no equivalent for casters? I think adding spell accuracy would be a great way to level the playing field. The developers should consider adding spell accuracy as shown below...

Spell Accuracy
Every point of Intelligence grants +5 spell accuracy.

I don't remember the actual quote, or source for that matter, but I do remember that once long ago GGG said something like this: "Casters have to worry about mana costs, Melee has to worry about accuracy."

IF that exchange was anchored in reality, it might not be so bad. Here in reality though, melee has always needed to worry about accuracy AND mana costs.

I think that's the real issue. It's not that casters need to be worse, it's that that stat balance has to actually be balanced. If they truly want Mana and Accuracy to sit on the same sort of shelf, they have to make it work that way.

If that is the intention, they need to cut melee mana costs by a good 50%. My Sunder is something like 400 mana iirc (been a while, warrior is so undercooked right now so been bouncing between other classes if I play at all), like 3 of most attacks and I am spent. It's stupid af.

Because GGG HATES melee! There is not chance that GGG is so incompetent to be able to make melee the worst option in TWO games!

In my option accuracy should be changed, makes every attack hit if the enemy have 0 evasion, and make accuracy change the chance to deal max damage on a hit, done it is solved and attack builds will receive the buff they need.
