Use the Wave Battleaxe and replace the some of the parry gear with acc gear. Either that or use Conquerer, which is Acc/Crit.

Actually, it's even nicer for me since I can use my Twintania Sword for progression content that I skillfully acquired from the RNG chest of skill.
Ahhh the Easy life of Paladin... =)
That being said, I can reach OVER 490 Accuracy with the Bravura Equipped on my Warrior. 482 without Food, and BTW, I made this even more specific by using 5/5 Warrior's Pieces on the left side.

Assuming ACC needed in turn 9 of 520 this was my Crit and Det build BiS (I don't really care about parry)

Heavy Allagan Battleaxe
Noct Circlet
Heavy High Allagan Coat
High Allagan Gauntlets
High Allagan Belt
High Allagan Trousers
Noct Greaves
High Allagan Choker
Noct Earings
High Allagan Bracelets or Noct Wrists (High Allagan has parry so I picked them basically the same tho)
High Allagan Ring
Noct Ring

I'm interested in hearing what people are going for prior to obtaining the Heavy Allagen Battleaxe.

Conqueror, Wave Battle Axe, or Anima?

In a bubble..the Bravura Animus is the best tanking weapon due to it's high parry stat. HOWEVER, this doesn't exactly work in practice especially with the increased damage on the Tidal Wave Battleaxe, and Heavy Allagan Battleaxe. The conqueror is very nice but it requires 1,300 Soldiery tombstones and the unidentified allagan tombstone, which as a tank are probably better spent on things that raise your mitigation.

I would personally suggest as others and use the Tidal Wave Battleaxe and changing up your accuracy or the Allagan weapon from T5. As an alternative solution if none of these suit you the Dual Haken isn't terrible.

Nabain your build on http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/M2BX
with me as a lalafell puts me at:

422 STR | 494 ACC | 395 CRIT | 224 DET | 385 SS | 635 VIT | 634 PARRY

The Conquerer requires 1,300 Soldiery and a random drop item from T7 if I'm reading correctly. So no one is getting that anytime soon. I'll probably bite the bullet and rebuild for the Wave Battleaxe. Fortunately there are a few easy to get pieces which give ACC that I can slot in my current build and get back the ACC I lose from ditching my Dual Haken.

Thanks. This seems to be the consensus. Conqueror is appealing but those stones are better applied to armor as tank. I guess I'll ditch my Dual Haken once I get the Wave Battleaxe, and meanwhile change up ACC.

So you need to mirror item rare drop from Levi to upgrade the wave axe to the tidal wave axe?

Yeah. It drops pretty regularly though, my friend has been through about 15 runs or so, and he has seen it drop 8 times.
