    You act like how to play tank isn't an issue that has been beaten to death. You could theorectically not even unlock THM (which from your profile you haven't) and easily go teach another THM how to play it. Why? You can just ask someone who is good at the class how to play and just relay the information. See where I'm going with this? Also if you can do it (tank) without DPS accessories, why would you go out of your way to do it with?

    Seriously though, what is more reasonable;
    a) chance/farmed i90 VIT acc
    b) very expensive i70 crafted DPS acc

    You didnt really read the thread, did you?
    We were discussing about PLDs being on par with WARs damage in a DD "stance".
    To which i replied that this is often only true in theory, since not many PLDs are using "damage dealing" gear (this means either a griph set or just a secondary set of jewels with attack stats, you dont need to be millionaire to get a DD set: "striking" gear works perfectly).
    Then you come and tell me there is no reason for a PLD to wear such gear... kinda proving my point, nope?

    Btw you dont see me on the THM forum you know why? I dont play one.

    The theory assumes both tanks have same gear. Once you decide that you're going to give Warrior DPS acc and Paladin tank acc, of course DPS won't be the same (or even close). Why did you have to even bring that up?

    You completely missed the point I was making.

    I'm explaining what theory dictates. You can't say, "tanks have the same auto attack damage (with same gear)". Then in the field give Warrior +1 relic with full DPS acc and give Paladin Ifrit sword with soulbinding accessories.

    @Exstal: Ignore Maqaqa, he/she/it is just ignorant, don't waste your time.
    It's the principle of making sure that other prospective tanks don't get suckered into his skewed view of the tank issue.
