    I agree with what you said. However PLD DPS MTing isn't helping in any turn. (PLD MTing DPS is horrible and needs a fix but that's different discussion) I have 13 T6-8 clears and have seen 0 left side HA drops, banking on Coil RNG isn't the best idea.

    Tanks have the highest ACC demands. They also have, at the moment, great swap options for capped ACC. Noct head, HA hands, Noct Legs, HA body not to mentions right side pieces.

    Capping ACC or close like Ashkender would be very wise. Doing a Det/Crit Hybrid is also a good idea if someone decides against Parry.

    Yep, that was basically my thought. I was looking to the future when I chose to stack up ACC. When they introduce new content, I'd rather go in with capped ACC than struggle to hold enmity because I keep missing. Not to mention I'm in full Noct, so I don't have a whole lot of ACC on my armor pieces (I'm at 522 without food).

    As far as Parry, like I said it was the option that hurt my wallet the least and more damage reduction is never a bad thing to have. Would Det/Crit have been better in the long run? Maybe, but if you're relying on a single tank in Shield Oath to help push you through critical DPS checks, there's kind of a problem there. I didn't think it would make that much of a difference to my damage that I should invest so much in materia. Even the III's are pricey. e.e
