i'm currently using
Storm Seargent Axe (VIT+40)
Lominsan Officer Cap (VIT/HP+30)
Lominsan Officer Gloves (HP+100,Acc+50)
Lominsan Officer Overcoat (STR/VIT+10, Def+70)
Fighter's legs
Fighter's boots
Rubellite+1x2
Electrum Gorget+1
Storm Seargent bracelets (AP+3,STR+7)
Storm Seargent ear (AP+4, Crit AP+4)
Penance (STR+2, VIT-1) // Sentinel's Plate Belt (Vit+4) Unmelded
Obviously I'm VIT heavy and could use a bit more STR. I'd prefer not to give up my gloves, because i like my +50 acc. so the only other place I think I can get STR is if i get a giantsgall with +str on it. but seeing as this is very expensive i question if it's really worth it.
WAR is my secondary job, and i consider WHM my main. If I do any expensive melding its' going to be on a head piece for enhancing on WHM before i look at doing any melding on WAR. (Also with the looming server shutdown and changes in ARR, i'm a little hesitant to invest too much in melding. Gil will always be worth something. the system may change drastically enough that my melds aren't worth as much). I feel pretty safe heavily investing in GC gear, as these arent likely to change much in ARR.
So:
Do y'all think it's better if i invest in increasing my STR (giantgalls) or get enmity+pieces in my accessories? (namely ear, arm, neck)
Is fighter burgeonet better than than lominsan cap? why?
for capping my VIT, is it better to keep the axe and swap to the burgeonet or keep the cap and get an LT axe?
Or do you think this gear set is acceptable for end-game back-up tanking and I can look at gearing my MNK instead?
