PSA: Strength Accessories are still, on a piece by piece basis, BiS for DPS

[Malicewolf]

HP doesn't matter though, and secondary stats will be higher on the new gear as well. And one doesn't need crit and det on the same piece of gear - just something not parry, which is a black hole and might as well not exist on accessories for how effective it ever will be in such small numbers.

It's really a non-issue... and to say you don't need the hp... I've yet to do Mida's Savage yet, but I can bet there'll be a much bigger tank buster than Alex... I wouldn't just flat out make a statement this early into a patch. (And ironically, if the tank buster happens to be physical, that parry could save you).

But, if you're worried about accessories, don't get the augmented primal fending necklace (parry stat), go for the midan necklace. Same VIT (which means same attack power increase) and better secondary stats.
Get the augmented primal fending earring instead of the midan earrings (parry stat).
Bracelet, get the augmented primal fending, not the midan
Get both augmented primal and midan rings because they don't use parry stat.

There, full 240 accessories that avoids the parry stat...
I don't see why you'd use STR gear. So basically, get your lore tomes and you get 3 of the necessary 240 accessories.
Beat Savage to get the other two.

If you can't beat them... then just get 230 lore or midan gear. But if you can't bear the end game content, you don't get the top gear; is just simply the case unless you're looking to be carried. But that's a different issue.

Now, if you're trying to maximize your skill speed and your crits, then sure. Go for STR accessories. You'll lose out on 11.25 attack power for the occasional crit. The crit may be worth it, but you also have no guarantee you'll get the crits necessary. Perhaps for a WAR this will be viable as they already have an enormous abundance of HP anyways (i mean, they'll probably be hitting like, 35k with all the 240 gear and using defiance). And they can use internal release (which none of the other tanks can use to increase their crit rates). If you are hoping to get more accuracy out of it... fending gear gives just as much.

The slaying accessories gives more combinations of determination, critical hit rate, skill speed, and accuracy, so if you are REALLY looking to maximize one or two of those specific stats, it may be worth it for a WAR. The other tanks however, I highly doubt it.

Especially for a PLD who's sword oath is based on base attack power with his auto attacks. Not like PLD's ever hit very hard (per single hit) to begin with, so crits aren't a deal breaker for me.
