Please add STR to Fending accessories

I hate to say it, but the fair solution to OPs problem is to not allow multiple primary stats on crafted accessories. Adding strength to top ilvl tank accessories would just make them overpowered, as they are currently balanced. Crafted accessories have always been OP for tanks, and assuming SE's philosophy on crafting is that it be weaker than raid gear, they should not be.

You should not be able to trade VIT for STR at a 1:4 ratio, or whatever crafting allows currently.

The whole putting 2 primary stats on an item only benefits tanks and no other class, maybe they do need to look into this.

The benefits of crafted items should be to pick your secondary stats. Not double-dip on primary stats.

This needs addressed. All gear should have Vitality+Class Damage Statistic.

Why exactly does this matter? Nothing is stopping any other job from doing the same thing. The only difference is the fact that other jobs aren't supposed to be getting hit repeatedly so the VIT wouldn't be as effective as it is for tanks. There's nothing stopping a caster from stacking Piety and other stats into crafted accessories.

Vitality helps all classes, I used to wear "tank" gear on my scholar to survive some aoes so I could make fights easier.

The issue is. Vitality does not increase "Threat and Enmity" where Strength does.

Sounds good to me. I find the argument presented that all classes have a feeling of great benefit from their increased ilvl gear but tanks, and while accurate also sounds wrong (should be adjusted).

+1'd a number of posts.

Maybe I misunderstood your last post. If that's the case then my apologies.

I apologize as well if I was rude. I am simply saying Vitality helps everyone. That extra 300 health as a healer let me survive some aoes.

I'll take a tank that stays alive and does damage over a tank that stays alive and doesn't do damage anyday. It's hilarious how people seriously place no value in how much damage a tank does.

Maybe because we have bad histories of tanks rocking full STR accessories that crumple over dead when they try to speedrun stuff because MOAR MOBS means MOAR DEEPS.

What they should do is release crafted 180 accessories and increase the level 5 material spirit bond rate
