Am I the only one who feels sympathetic to the OP. Granted that OP is a tank and need to be up to date in gear, but when I was playing back in 2013 (as a SMN) my gear looked just as similar to OP and no one said anything until I was 50 (pointed out by the FC I joined at the time).

Sympathies aside, it is 2015 after all and a lot of people would know better. The many critiques and advise from the others in this forum is good. I also saw that you're in an FC. Are any of the members veterans who can help you out gear and accessory wise?

If there are newcomers in your FC, it might be a different experience if you mainly run content with them, where you'll fail and succeed as a group. It's more fun that way, rather than running with randoms with the slight fear of someone going off on you for a slight mistake, especially being a tank.
