Are the crafted accessories as viable on WAR as they are PLD?

[Gamemako]

But still, its a moot point, there arent many videos of WARs tanking TT in the first place, no matter the gear.

There was a video of a WAR tanking Twintania with 8200 HP, which is achievable with gryphonskin.

I know but he asked "how many" so i guess one or two videos wouldnt be enough.
Im sitting at 8300 and something with gryph gear, food and party buff.
Still i wouldnt mind 9000 if i had to tank TT, but its a very specific scenario.

As OT on 1-5 i find i90 accessories are only taking away dmg and hate (grabbing better hate with a single tomahawk isnt something to understimate) while giving me HPs i dont need: detrimental to my role.

Strangely, all the WAR's that have done it seem to be using actual tanking equips :/

I'm not saying that Gryphonskin sets don't have their uses (hey, those AK bosses are easy these days) but just giving up on tanking stuff like TT and Twin Dreadnoughts and relegating yourself to trash a DRG could probably handle doesn't make them BiS.

EDIT: Nice sig btw Maqaqa

How many videos of DRGs off tanking 1-5?
Btw you dont have to tank double dreads, there are T4 strats developed around a WAR MT that does not involve tanking both of them at the same time.
So the only fight where you NEED i90 accessories is TT. And even there, you dont really NEED them, it has been done without.
It will be even easier after the buff, when the ability to absorb 20% dmg on every death sentence will require us even less HPs to survive DS while still having a decent HP pool left for safety.

Also please notice i suggest to get BOTH accessories set. But its obvious to me one of them is BiS and one is situational.

I will let you wonder why :P

Selection bias. Warriors may actually be better Twintania tanks than PLDs. But because no one tries it with a WAR, we don't know.

They probably aren't, but how would we know?

[Maqaqa]

Well, objectively, SE could have done a better job balancing WARs and PLDs. On top of that, there is selection bias.

[Ipkonfig]

People are silly.

Im not sure if they are worth using on my WAR considering the lack of DEX warrior needs, alone with the importance of parry for warrior, and if so how do prioritize stats on the melds?

At the end of the day, you can clear all current content with either set, so it's really just a matter of preference.

The crafted accessories (Gryphonskin set + Rose Gold Earscrews) offer more threat and more damage which is great for speeds runs and off-tanking. The ilvl90 accessories are more effective HP which may help you survive during progression.

In an effort to optimize, the tanks for my coil group wear full crafted accessories to farm Coil quickly, but they are both collecting full ilvl90 sets for 2.2.

Unless TT uses HP percent based attacks Paladin would pretty much always be better at handlnig TT.
Selection bias is present but unfortunately, it does have a good basis.
I do hope the change to WAR changes this problem.

[Vmage]

Why not to get BOTH and be versatile? I didnt see anyone suggesting this but its what a good tank should do.
Full VIT gear to offtank T4 and T5 would be a waste of HPs.

well.. the question was about 'best in slot', and by definition there can't be more than one 'best'.. that's what the word means :s

but yeah, versatility is good

personally i wear allagan strength jewelry when OTing, but melded stuff is a decent option too
