Dancer tank gear? Help Me Out!

[Rieul]

Lack of Haste Samba merits makes me cry. Or more so, the fact you have Step Accuracy merits. Regular Accuracy gear is the same as Step Accuracy. Unnecessary merits. I've said it before, you shouldn't have problems hitting things at this stage in the game. Plus, Presto gives a huge accuracy bonus to steps anyways.

I get that you want to play different, but that's just a waste. Haste Samba will increase your damage dealt, as well as everyone else benefiting from the samba. And with the set bonus from AF3+2 you'll most likely, and should have a Samba up always.

I see why you said what said. (Feel free to skip to the last sentence)
Haste Samba Merits only affect Haste.
I chose against HS due to the fact that there is Drain and Aspir Samba. You may want to maxxxor out your hastorz or whatever but I wanted something that was practical in all situations.
When you use Drain Samba or Aspir Samba, don't you feel like you wasted those merits? Perhaps not.

No, Step acc is not a waste imo; I solo a lot of NM and whatnot inside and out of abyseea.
Outside at 90, sure it's overkill but then I can put more focus into ATK, DEX or even CHR.
The last thing you want is to miss a step as DNC.

Again, take it or leave it. To each their own.
