    we're supposed to roll on vit gear. for hp. meaning the potency of clemency suffers for not having access to dps jewlery, punishing us for having more hp. clemency rewards us for optimizing offensively, whereas it should be rewarding us for optimizing defensively, something a tank should be doing in progression and high endgame.
    It is not so much a flaw, a tank still gets benefit from the slaying accessories. But a drg gains more. A good static will let tanks get it before the people for alt classes anyway. This just keeps us from taking it over a drg.

    What we are "supposed" to roll need on and what we really need for savage progression are definitely different. The dps checks are for real.

    Its not a flaw that every other class spends their tomes on the pieces they need right away, and get the drops they need right away, while tanks have to spend gil for crafted accessories and materia, or spend possibly double the tomes or wait for second drops to gear up properly?

    it's not that we get benefits from them or not, because we sure as hell do. dps checks may be real but, progression is still a lot easier with a bigger hp pool. someone should be able to optimize defensively and still get the same benefit someone gets when optimizing offensively.
