    To those who are raiding now as tanks, getting full set i220s = minimum 940 AP. Previously at full str build, 1k++ AP. The difference is getting smaller and smaller.

    When I was doing A6S yesterday, I could still do DPS stance opening pull (given if you have a NIN). Maintaining aggro is harder for sure, but it's still doable and will be easier once tanks get more gears for more AP.

    Note: Pulled 1.2k DPS until the 1st boss of A6S jumps to middle with 4 mirages. Totally possible.

    Haven't the AP values for all other jobs increased also? Meaning that relative to others you have gained nothing, even though on an absolute scale you have. The difference in AP between current gear and pre 3.2 may be narrowing, but thats a factor of gear power creep, and your damage is still reduced vs pre-3.2.
