I honestly just think they need to adjust fending gear. Adding any kind of damage mitigation or a slight healing buff to it would be great, or even a fraction of STR added on top of the VIT would be welcome. I'm all for the option of still choosing slaying accessories to maximize DPS (especially as an OT), but as of right now fending accessories aren't even an option in end game content (which is the main issue).

I personally hate the idea of spending millions on low level pentamelds, and I dislike mixing and matching accessories (bugs me if they don't match). I like the concept of pentamelds (getting a good mix of both stats, while not having the best of either), but right now it just blows the i210 accessories out of the water entirely. At this point, as much as I like the idea of adding damage resistance or a healing buff to fending accessories, we would basically just need STR added to them. With how strict dps checks are now, STR is almost mandatory to clear content.
