Warrior Material

What is good materia for warrior and what should we attach it too?

for dps - Heaven's fist double/triple meld on hands or weapon , STR double/triple meld hands or weapon, VIT body -enmity belt

for tanking - VIT or def on body (i'd say VIT as you get the boost to damage), HP where ever you can add it, maybe parry (I don't bother with it), maybe ACC (if you need it), +enmity belt

Try for double/triple melds on everything if you wanna be decent.

It's pointless to ever gear your warrior with -enmity. There is no scenario where a warrior can both pull hate and does not want to do just that.

Here's a WAR tank melding guide I made for my LS. Of course these would be different for a DD WAR. Materia is sorted most desirable to least desirable:

Wrong, a DD WAR can use -enmity and you would not want to pull hate from the tank. For example, I've been using the Flame Sergeant's Tabard on my WAR for DD and do not make up the -20 enmity with any other gear other than what's on the af head and pants. I would agree that touch of serenity materia IS useless for a WAR, however.

A DD WAR can't put out enough damage to ever pull hate from the tank unless you're in a an AoE spam situation, in which case nobody cares and BLM can tank just fine. You don't need -enmity.

False. DPSing on Ifrit with MRD and was red in the majority of the battle before hellfire. You could do it with WAR as well, just have to be more careful on combos.

WAR is NOT just a tanking job, so get that out your head please and thank you

Main tank dies and goes after whm or blm, mission accomplished.

Your tank must have sucked. WAR single-target DPS is not very good at all, and even less so at Ifrit where you can't just constantly go all out the way the tank can.

Your own opinion, but don't shove your opinion down everyone's throat. MRD/WAR can DD pretty decent if given the chance.
