Warrior Tanking

Ok. For some reason, I always assumed missing an attack allow you to try it with the combo at the exact same point.

I know this was the case in arr beta, but I have no clue when(if?) they changed it. It's easy to get close enough to cap with some gryphonskin; I don't see much in the way of misses during combos, and haven't really pushed progression for a while.

Why is Allagan weapon considered best in slot over Relic +1 or Dual Haken?

[Hitokirinomad]

Because the extra weapon damage from ilvl 95 > all.

[SpookyGhost]

Because the extra weapon damage from ilvl 95 > all.

(Also more VIT and STR)

I don't understand what that has to do with damage mitigation.

(Also more VIT and STR)

Is it really worth the huge parry loss?

[Kadas]

It is.

Weapon wise, item level is "king" even more so than other gear slots. You do lose some parry, but you gain damage increase (just because you tank it doesn't mean you should not do any damage at all) and also the VIT increase is always useful.

The thing is the faster you burn down a mob or boss the faster you push a boss into his next phase the less dmg you as the tank are tanking and the party as a whole. That's why the wpn dmg is important and the stat boosts (vit and str) are increased at a bigger rate on wpns vs other gear or accessories

Hidden mitigation as I like to call it

I would generally agree with this, but as certain fights in Pharos Sirius show, speeding through a boss can dramatically increase the damage taken by your party. In the vast majority of boss fights you're correct, don't get me wrong, but there are exceptions.

i wouldn't count on parry since a lot of damage nukes in this game happen to be magic anyways. so VIT is ur greatest stat, and DET behind that because of self heals, for warrior. It's nice when u parry twintania's attacks, but really relying on RNG is kinda risky. You'll have to be prepared to handle that damage w/o mitigating via dodge or parry. erego, VIT increase on weapon, self heals off more weapon damage, are the reason allagan axe is BiS
