Strength Tanks and You.

[Eisen-Zorn]

Read my post again please. I said VIT/Hybrids for the actual boss and STR for Faust.

Hybrids are more then acceptable to meet the HP check of a 25k tank buster.

Now I'm really glad I already run with a hybrid setup.

As predicted i150s are going to be excellent until i220+

"Quickly put together the combined right side stats for the hell of it. Since we get a base of 581 accuracy with a parry-less i210 left side I'm just going to assume all accuracy requirements are met with that + whatever is forced on you from the right side.

Full Slaying
STR 245
VIT 0
Acc 74 (655)
Crit 118
Det 58
SS 118 (632)

Full Fending
STR 0
VIT 245
Acc 206 (787)
Crit 104
Det 29
SS 30 (544)

Hybrid
STR 141
VIT 98
Acc 118 (636)
Crit 148
Det 58
SS 44 (558)

Full Crafted RS (spares in crit / det)
STR 155
VIT 145
Acc 41 (559)
Crit 83
Det 57
SS 58 (572)

For the full fending I didn't bother trading out the obviously overcapped accuracy for parry + better secondary. Don't have time to attempt to perfectly itemise for the skill speed requirement (edit: come to think of it, the wep should take care of that, heh, nevermind. edit 2: added acc and ss totals).

Full crafted is apparently better than Hybrid still. Just wish I wasn't morally obligated to give the slaying stuff to our DRG...."

Imagine how much nicer that fending set would look with 120 STR/245 VIT
