Tank Gear's Value for the Future.

[SpookyGhost]

I think I see his point.

Let's say STR is lower than it's current value and VIT is slightly higher than it's current value. So, as an example, STR is [1] atm and VIT is [0] and with the changes in 3.2 it becomes: STR = [0.5] and VIT = [0.5].

Now we're going to make up some hypothetical jewelry:

Example of Fending: 200 VIT
Example of Slaying: 200 STR

So for a tank, no matter which way you went, you'd end up with [100] whereas the MNK/DRG wearing the Example of Slaying would have [200]. So we're at a 100 deficit.

Now, the next ilvl upgrade:

Better Example of Fending: 300 VIT
Better Example of Slaying: 300 STR

Here, a tank would have [150] and a MNK/DRG would have [300]. The MNK/DRG would have a 100 upgrade, whereas the tank would only have 50.

I think that's what OP is saying at least, not 100% sure.
