    Just get fending gear and meld it with det/crit/ss/what-have-you. The pinch of extra DPS is absolutely not worth it in the current new content.

    This. The adds in Sephirot EX hit like trucks and Midas is shaping up to have frequent tank swaps.

    The STR meta is pretty effectively dead in the water by virtue of repeated asskicking.

    Agreed, the dmg output in these new raids/savages/primals is just too much to sacrifice for piddly little secondaries and a slight % dmg upgrade (and by slight I mean barely, barely noticable)

    Mechanics > DPS this patch and thank god it is.

    Agreed. Thanks to the extra lifepool, Mobs obviously hit harder now and the forced tankswaps doesnt make it easier. You can still meld a Str+15 Materia on the first Slot on any Fending Jewelery
