    Honestly it doesn't really matter. Get whatever gives you the most HP.

    I solo tank all of ScoB and I wear full crit/det gear while retaining accuracy cap, I did just over 200 Dps on most fights prior to getting my high allagan axe. It's just my personal preference to make fights shorter or help burst adds, plus parry scales extremely poorly; I'd rather deal 50 extra dps than take 2% less damage.

    But all in all, there's honestly not that big a difference between full parry and not when it comes to mitigation, You can find out more information on Dancing Mad about parry scaling I believe.


    tldr; wear whatever gives you more health, don't focus parry, your damage actually does matter.

    Thanks for the info! I pulled you up on Lodestone to get an idea of what you were running for gear. After looking at it and comparing our secondary stats I see what you mean. Your STR, VIT, and ACC far outnumber mine, while our other secondaries are closer. Which to me means I should start focusing on those first 3 stats again since my parry and det should be fine as is.
