STR tank items :C

I personally never understood the notion of letting Fending accessories hit the floor. I mean... What do you lose... 5 slots in your inventory/armoury/retainers? They didn't do completely nothing. You'd still ideally want them for whole dungeon pulls or whatever other shenanigans that would require a higher health threshold then what Full STR or Semi STR would provide. Lol the things people do to themselves and then have the gall to expect consolation for their choices.

Because its a scientific fact that wherever the words "fending" or "parry" appear in the game, the nearest tank with any semblance of manhood is at least 9000 yalms away from that precise point /sarcasm.

No clue, really. But honestly, its the parry. Tanks for some reason lose all of their ability to think rationally when faced with that stat, and can't muster anything but "ewwweparrry" or "lolrng" followed by *pass* and leaving the instance.

Basically they were all told that if they rolled anything other than "pass" on a thing with parry on it that they're bad and a horrible player, so they have to let shit drop to the floor and make unfunny jokes about how much they hate parry, almost competitively, to maintain a sense of self-esteem as a tank.

For whatever reason this board in particular takes the term "less optimal" and makes it "if you use this then you're garbage".

It wouldn't hurt for them to buff parry back up though, rate would be optimal, but i'd take a buff to %blocked in conjunction with amount in the skill too.

You have got to get over yourself. The game is not that serious. Take a walk outside, enjoy the fresh air, look at the world around you and realize that this chip on your shoulder is really not that big a deal. Yes, there were people who let VIT drop to the floor - yet we also had people who didn't use STR at all, which was optimal for 2+ years. They're fixing the accessories though, you can let it go, it's okay, we're here for you.

I've been wearing STR/melds since forever ago. The reason i say the things that i do is because i empathize with players that choose to favor the other approach rather than alienate them. Your response sounds like you're pretending all of that alienation doesn't happen. People say it goes both ways but in my experience, I've never even once, ever, had someone say this/that/the other about my STR gear.

I just like to stick up for underdogs, nothing wrong with that.
