Tank Gearing help!

[Algin]

DOn't want to make another gearing thread. In one of the links given in this thread, until I get High Allagan gear, it's recommended to get full weathered noct. But, as I checked some of the items, compared to the Hero gear, I'll loose a lot of parry, gaining speedskill and accuracy.

I'm currently in Hero/weathered noct mix, with body, belt, earings and necklase being weathered noct with ATMA shield/sword (working on books) and am on like 494 ACC and 568 parry. Now, would it be okay, if I'd swap bracers to get +3 vit, accuracy and speedskill, while giving up +12 parry? I walways thought, that you should stack mitigation as high as you can. Same goes with other pieces of weathered noct. They trade more parry for accuracy.

So should I mix the hero/weathered noct until I can find time to do coil (working shifts at work is hard to get static or participate in FC raids) and get high allagan?

Parry's usefulness is questionable. Personally, I think it's a garbage stat for being so unreliable, but that doesn't mean it's useless. As for the specifics of your question, the 3 VIT alone is way better than 12 Parry.

Unfortunately, unless you're clearing SCOB, your equipment options are severely limited (Heavy Wolfram maybe) until patch 2.3 hits.

Bottom line, I would not use any mythology gear over soldiery gear, unless I absolutely needed it to meet accuracy requirements.
