Poetic (Ironworks) Gear

[Lothar808]

So here is what I did:

IF you want some good flexibility: Buy the Body > Legs > Gloves > Ring

Then with the right combination of accessories, you can do one of two things. Want a more parry centric build, use the dread helm, boots, belt. You want a more dps centric build use the ironworks helm, boots, belt.

Both of these builds sit right around 555 ACC, IF you at least put ACC into your Relic as the second full stat. The dread legs are great for DPS (CRIT/DET), but if you dont have ACC on your weapon/shield and decide to use the dread legs you will be basically locked into getting every other piece that has the most ACC on it. Just some food for thought.

I wouldn't recommend any accessories until you have all i120-130 left side pieces. Coil RNG is not dependable. Left side pieces >>>>> right side pieces. (STR+VIT vs VIT) Especially considering only one fight even requires VIT accessories. (and I'm sure that is getting iffy as players left sides get geared)

My order is Shield (i130) > Legs > Hands > Body > pray for Fending drops > Head > Feet > Belt > Ring (i130 for t13) > Slaying Accessories

I agree that left is much more important that right. I am however going for the best iLVL upgrades for my PLD/WAR. I have all Noct, except the 1 weathered noct ring, which I will replace this week with the poetics ring and should have enough for the belt. I have the Noct Lorica, Breeches, and belt which still serve me well, the upgrades I took were the Shield, Head, Feet, and hands.

Hopefully we get to clear T9 this week so I can at least step foot in FCoB.

Great minds think alike! Exactly what i found in my research as well. A Great tank will gear himself with both sets in mind. They really made it easy on us this time around. Flexibility is the key word!

As a PLD who slotted Parry/Acc in my nexus my main focus is obtaining the 700 Parry BiS first and foremost. After that set is made, i'll purchase the remaining pieces to create the DET/CRIT set and then rely on the Coil Weapon to complete it.

Its a great system that allows me to actually use both my Relic and Coil weapons at all times for different situations.

It's also worth mentioning that Parry is much more valuable now in FCoB as many of the physical attacks where designed with Parry in mind and will only become more valuable in the future as the dev's have already mentioned. 700 Parry set will be in prep for T13 and progression up until then. Once its on Farm its CRIT/DET all day!
