But I can out parse other WARs with my crit build. Is that silly? It's a legitimate way to build a DD WAR. My guess is that it would work for DRG as well, but my DRG gear is really lacking so I haven't tried.

but are you outparsing them because your build is better or are you outparsing them because their dps rotation isn't as good? and speaking of builds, do they have what's considered an optimal build otherwise? correlation != causation

That's a valid point, tbh I'm not sure. But honestly, if I'm not missing and my stats are capped, I don't see what's wrong with wanting to crit more often. I'm just using slots that if I were tanking I'd be using for enmity or HP gear and devoting them to crit rate instead. Why is that so bad?

What are the other options for a WAR DD (Flames)? It's these or Rubelite Bracelets for +3 STR. (My VIT is capped so adding VIT won't add DMG.) I'll take the hit of 3 less STR for more crits because crits are fun. But go ahead and use your cookie-cutter WAR build if you like, it won't bother me at all.

My reasons for wanting them are simple:
they're U/U
they're rare as duck teeth
they probably won't be obtainable in 2.0
they fit my crit build

I don't care if there isn't another soul that wants them. That makes me want them even more.

Maybe they will be better in 2.0 after stat rework? That is the only reason anyone would want these or if your geared enough with triple melds+ to hit your stat caps I guess.

There's a dragoon I play with that has a rather nice crit build, has trippled melded crit hit materia in body, crit in belt and hands from the new materia, the tricorne and these wristlets.

When I parsed our darnus fights he was critting close to 40% of the time. And with all that crit attack power on his gear, he was close to a Gae Bolg dragoon that only crit 20% of the time with a similar number of weaponskills.
