typical ignorance from posters ignoring their way into life. Reynhart, listen buddy.

1% increase for a DPS is different than a 1% increase for a tank. First of all, a dps has naturally higher deeps than you. Thats why people told you repeatedly in the face that you are NOT a dps and that you are secretly a dps wannabe. Do you know what these words mean at all.

DET has a better weighted stat for dps. For MNK and DRG, 3 det equals 1 strength. That is NOT the case for tanks. You are talking about 5-6 DET for 1 Strength.

Second of all, DPS has natural high STR coz their gear is geared with towards STR bonus. That is again, not the case for tanks. So even if you pump up your str with penta melded accessories, your str will still be lower than a DPS. Thats why your dps is SOOOO MUCH LOWEEEERRRR than dps output from melees.

third, a 1% dps increase is MINISCULE. And yet, that is probably what we are talking about if we get 31 DET on the novus. Its downright pathetic. So even if you use strength accessories buffed up with your det melds, you would still only be 1% higher than the guy who uses just strength accessories. But if you think 202 is so much better than 200, than by all means go use DET.

I do not need your opinions on what you think is right. I need facts and math. If you want to meld det on your novus, go ahead and do so.
