OT accessories

[lololink]

There needs to be another category for off-tanks that have split distribution of STR + VIT. Right now when doing endgame raiding, the best option for OT's are i90 melded accessories. And their only upgrade will be when i110 crafted accessories come out and then we have to meld those. So basically as OT's, we are having to spend more gil than the rest of the team if we want to be optimally geared.

OT's are stuck in that funny category of being both tank and dps. Please consider making STR + VIT accessories.

Why not equipping 2 VIT accessories and 3 STR accessories ?

Why not equipping 2 VIT accessories and 3 STR accessories ?

Because tank crafted accessories can have both vit and str so you get more of both stats overall by equipping a crafted accessory over a non-crafted accessory that only has one of those stats.

Isn't that the case of most of the accessories anyway ? Crafted one can get much more stats.

It only matters for tank though, they're the only job that actively relies on more than 1 base attribute strongly. DPS and Healers generally won't want to sacrifice any STR/DEX/INT/MND for a little extra VIT or some additional secondary stats. The highest craftable acc right now are i90 so aside from tanks they are pretty irrelevant at this point regardless of melds.

If a DPS uses crafted accessories, they are losing out on DPS to gain Vitality. If a healer uses crafted accessories, they are losing out on healing potency to gain Vitality. If a tank uses crafted accessories, they are losing out on unnecessary health to gain DPS. Only one of these is consistently worth it, the others are replaced due to no longer needing the extra Vitality. A tank typically doesn't want to completely shed Vitality, so having a mix of it and STR is ideal.
