Tanks are still taking STR accessories.

I dunno about the other tanks but an i240 fending set with 0 parry is possible on DRK.

This isn't a problem in any serious content. Even wearing pentamelds can endanger your life with some of the TBs that are going out right now. You want that HP.

Plus you can fucking meld all those secondaries into the "bad" fending accessores, and STR Vs too.

Tanks still wearing full slaying gear right now are either bad, casual, or as Kumo said, they haven't had time to get new ones (poor excuse IMO, but I digress).

Considering all 3 tanks use basically the same set now, it is possible. Except pld, who suck a 20 parry stat on their 245 shield.

If you don't mind me asking but what is this magical no parry set, and can it be done with i220? (I don't have a static for raiding savage at the minute)

Look at gear on Ariyala.

I don't know what it is at i220 because, as a DRK main and as a raid MT, I do not go out of my way to minimize my parry stat during progression, nor do I recommend it.

But if you're not raiding then screw it. http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/DRK will show you.

like Syzy said, Ariyala, it's done with 240 "BiS" and yes it can be done with 220 because it's crafted or midian, just mix and match.

Disclaimer: i found a picture telling acc caps but i can not verify if they are correct but if they are BiS CAN NOT be done with 0 parry (whats 36 parry though?) if the following is to be believed.

You can do it with a mix of 220 crafted and 220 midan, basically using those to replace anything 230 that has parry. I agree with Syzygian that you shouldn't go out of your way to minimize parry during progression, but if you're able to gather the items needed for the crafted stuff, it's surprisingly cheap.

What you can do right now if you're not planning to raid or have the ability to gather the crafted mats is:
-Lore headpiece
-Lore body
-Crafted arms
-Midas belt
-Midas legs
-Midas feet
-Midas choker
-Lore earrings
-Lore bracelets
-Left Lore ring
-Right crafted ring

The Lore right side is pretty horribly optimized. I would not recommend buying the crafted stuff off the MB unless you're rich and have money to throw around. Although, you could make the argument that higher ilv on right side means more defense and vitality, which would benefit the group as a whole a bit more than better secondary stats.

Thats a LOT of faith in the DF.

It helps when you go in as a certain tank for each turn as well. I'll go as PLD for A7 and DRK for A8 and your cooldown affinity for each respective tank buster will allow you to not require a tank swap and lessen the load on less skilled healers.
