Silly tank melds

Since the majority of tanks meld STR in they accessories, you have 13 slots to put Tenacity Materia.

13 x 40 = 520.

IF your gear don't give the cap of tenacity already, the total can be even lower.

with 520 more tenacity, you will gain 2.5% more defense.

If your healer think that will make a diference, than YES you have to meld it, if not, I don't see why not put a materia to increase DPS.

Remember, a fast clear means less healing and less damage taken.

If my healer thinks that makes a difference they're getting kicked lol.

Thunda. You're so confusing. Do you look at your parser and then ask yourself "There's too much group damage going out, I better pull it back."?
You admit to putting as much effort as you can to do as poorly as you can (AKA Griefing) and wear it with a badge of honor that you're confirming what a "proper" group DPS threshhold should be. News flash- Healers/Tanks can DPS without a DPS doing poorly. Believe it or not they can actually ADD to great group damage!

Miraculous I know.

Alas, I doubt your DPSing is really making up for the healer not dpsing.

This is really sad.

Since second coil.

After seeing a tank with skill speed melds I thought I'd try it out anduring I even like it :) People are letting this get to their heads... I mean when you're playing with friends who cares what the meta is so long as you're having fun

:) Meta be damned. I'm leading with Tenacity, then Det and Skill speed. Each of them impacts more than one aspect of tanking, seems like better value per slot to me. If I have room, and spare slots, I'll drop in what STR I can.

I'd say it more highlights just how prevalent the healer/tank must dps meta is that the dps can pretty much do whatever and very few, if any, people will even care to point something out.

No I'd say that it highlights that you're a griefer. When people don't play how you want you do your very best to do your very worst.
