    The problem is people have this attitude that theres only ONE DEFINITIVE WAY TO GEAR/PLAY WARRIOR OR NOTHING ELSE!

    Warrior is a versatile tank, we can MT or OT, we'll be able to tank trash mobs easier/more efficiently now, give a 10% dmg reduction to our PLD MT or for ourselves if we are MT/ etc.

    Look at all of our gear possibilities, we have Determination/Parry/Skill Speed/Crit build to chose from for each different situation. Why do you think there are people who value Gryphonskin instead of pure allagan accessories or vice versa?

    Variety folks, look at our abilities/cross class abilities, they let us pick and chose depending on the fight/boss mechanics/etc

    Examples

    Turn 1 I don't NEED Flash or Provoke, I time a Butcher's Block combo and use Butcher's Block on the 2nd snake and bam, established hate. I'd rather have Featherfoot/2nd Wind/Awareness/something more useful for snake.

    Turn 2 I use a more DPS oriented setup gear wise, why? we cant parry in turn 2 or dodge so I take off Featherfoot and put something more useful like 2nd Wind and put on more "DPS oriented" gear I use Provoke/Internal/Conva/2nd Wind/ Awareness or Mantra

    Turn 4 dont NEED provoke, only flash (Which may change with the steel Cyclone Enmity buff and can use something more beneficial to you or party like mantra)

    Turn 5 as OT WAR I don't NEED Full Vit Accessories, I go DPS Accessories and can survive. If you are MT WAR for Twintania then yeah I can see wearing more Vit Accessories.
    etc etc

    TL: DR There's no one definitive way of how to gear/play warrior, don't be detrimental to your group simply because of your ego and that you want to MT EVERYTHING. It all depends on fight mechanics/group communication/your playstyle and other stuff.
