Tank Acc

having a lil issues with it while building up my ilv
both my war(ilv86) and pld(ilv79) are around 410-430 pre food
ive looked into BiS posts but with the myth cap and lousy drop rate for me in coil may take awhile, finally saw something tank this week and have been playing since early release

war set
pld set

i play war more then pld but make me mad i cant take to higher tier things cause i miss a lot, while my ilv79 brd is sitting a 508 acc >.> i know its way too much, but been looking for things on it that drop acc for crit/det

For pld: get Heavy Darklight Flanchard for +43 Accuracy.
For war: use Vermillion Skirt from WP that gives +16 Accuracy to go with the Warrior boots or just use Heavy Darklight Flanchard till you no longer have accuracy issue.
For both: Farm Tremor Earrings of Fending if you have access to it, pray Allagan Choker of Fending or Heavy Allagan Armor drops in turn 1, Allagan Bracelet of Fending drops in turn 4, get Rose Gold Ear Screws and/or Gryphonskin ring and meld Vit and Parry into it, use Myth to get Hero's Belt of Fending.

For starters the darklight flanchard as well as the darklight heavy gauntlets have just a crap ton of accuracy. It is really hard to reach the accuracy cap on either class if you have replaced these with pants/boots/gloves that are not loaded with accuracy as well. And for a tank missing is just not acceptable. Far better to wear them and lose an ilvl or two than to have higher rated items but be missing out on that much accuracy.

In that regard most of the armor of light is actually pretty worthless.

Also the ultima accessories are pretty bad as well. Much better to use melded gryphonskin accessories than to use the ultima items. Outside of turn 5 there is no reason that the minor vitality gains outweigh the usefulness of even a partially melded i70 accessory.

If you're looking to gain more accuracy, I'll suggest going back to using Darklight Choker and Bracelets of Fending. Both of them gives you a +21 over your current Accuracy, at the cost of 8 VIT/roughly 112 HP. While VIT is an important tank stat, but 112 HP isn't enough to break the game by any means either.

For your PLD, you might want to go back to Heavy Darklight Gauntlets, as that is a +16 Accuracy. And as mentioned before, Heavy Darklight Flanchards give you +43 Accuracy, which is not anything you will be beating anytime soon. For your WAR, have you considered getting the Dual Haken instead?

I'd suggest sticking in gear that gets you as close to the Accuracy cap as possible, instead of choosing to maximize Vit and Parry now. You can maximize those stats later when your Accuracy is close to your target accuracy (if you're not attempting T5 anytime soon, you'll want 477 Accuracy for up to T4).

i get to turn5 every week i just cant use tank after t2 and go brd so if tank drops i greed and hope the tanks dont need
stuck on titan ex atm, i have no latency/lag issues but have to depend on the other 7...
maybe 1/10 runs ill get hit by something stupid but better then my last group were the blm took the first landslide every single time >.>

You don't need to drop being a tank...just drop some health for the accuracy boost. T1 - T4 can be done in DL, and maybe a couple of i90 gear.

made 2 acc sets, both hitting the magic number of 475 :D
