Please add STR to Fending accessories

[Giantbane]

As for suggestion to make the acc a 40 VIT, 20 STR would be OP because every ACC is +40 to x stat, what would balance it is making it 20/20 split but even then maybe SE could consider the idea of offering two accessory types for tanks, one which focus on full VIT and another that offers a 20/20 tradeoff that's meant for offtanks.

uhh, what? I have no idea how it would be OP.

Tanks can already get crafted stuff that's 30/30. It's not even raid gear (it's i150), doesn't require rare mats and isn't even that hard to craft. For anyone who has access to this type of gear, they love it because they hit hard and they're durable. It's great fun and nobody loses because they can do it. The only thing that sucks is you have to go through the awful materia system to get there. But after you're done, it's pretty cool.

The imbalance is that raid gear, the stuff that's supposed to be BiS doesn't have any STR on it at all.

But people talking about using STR for "threat" --- I mean, yes technically more damage is more enmity, but you shouldn't have any problem whatsoever holding hate in full VIT. Seriously.

Having more threat on a DRK or WAR means you have to do your Powerslash/Butcher's block combo less often. For DRK this means you get more MP back and maybe restore more HP via souleater. For WAR this means greater up time on your 2 debuffs.

I'm guessing PLD now has more options for extra DPS if they can drop the halone combo. Of course whether or not that's advisable depends entirely on if you need that halone debuff or not.
