Fending vs. Slaying accessories at this point in the game

[SirTaint]

There is no real argument that str tanks have shorter raids, and less mechanics. Because like I said above your dps is so low that it doesn't really change it by minutes but by seconds. So the real gain would possibly be one less mechanic.

Having good dpsers ( not tank want to be dpsers ) is what makes a 10 min fight a 5 min fight.

No it takes the entire raid contributing to DPS.

A tank HAS to hit the mob, why wouldn't they hit them as hard as the fight allows them to?

There are exactly 0 fights in the game that require 17000 HP even in the worst of PUGs.

Xeno might have a full set of Fending accessories but I know for a fact any tank with his kind of knowledge would never use a full fending set in todays game. He might mix and match 1-3 into a build for some odd reason but he knows better then to go full fending. NEVER GO FULL FENDING.

I 100% agree statics help, buts that's why people use hybrids. When I PUG Ravana I use i150 Hybrids even though I'm over the HP cap by 3k it gives PUG healers room, I also use shield oath/defiance in PUGs which I use only as needed in my static.
