    I was gonna write out another long response about how you just refuse to listen, but I realized you'd just ignore all of that, too, so I'd rather not waste my time.

    All I'll add is that the "your dps doesn't matter anymore" argument is getting really fucking old, primarily due to the fact that it's patently untrue.
    I'm sorry if those steps I gave you got a little ahead of you, I shall try to fully explain it.

    Please go back and redo your build as if it were for someone who is not raiding, then let a raider adjust as necessary.

    The only thing that is getting old here is your swearing and childish behavior, please stop it.

    Yeah, tanks don't do DPS. Why'd they even add Royal Authority? I guess so you can throttle your threat as OT in Shield Oath, since Sword Oath is also useless. A DPS increase? Please, I'd much rather take 20% less damage, thanks.

If a little extra hp saves dying even once, that more than makes up for the loss in one "bad" secondary stat.
    It is because these tanks dont actually care about the groups overall dps
    They only care about seeing their own numbers go up even if it doesn't really do much at all to help the group.
    They care more about seeing big damage numbers on their own attacks. Can't break through their stubbornness

We aren't looking for DPS with a secondary stat utility build. If you want to DPS, go be a DPS. I'm mad about this, others are mad about this. Tank is your role, deal with it.
    Yeah, try getting past Hummelfaust with that pathetic amount of DPS of yours if you can. I would love to see how you can clear the gatekeeper with 400dps.

    Note: Talking about Midas Savage obviously.

    Where are you extrapolating these numbers from?

    The thing is, I asked you to show me how you would achieve this, and you then told me to do it myself. I'm not going to try and do something that I believe to be wholly impossible. This set now has enough ACC for Midas normal along with enough SKS for the 9-gcd Berserk, and gets a net gain in weight compared to the previous build.

    Now will you show me how you intend to add 250 Crit to this build? Please? Or are you going to continue to pretend you're just /that/ much smarter than everyone and don't have to prove the ludicrous claims you're making?

    And sorry for assuming a discussion about min-maxing a class was related to Alexander Savage, because you have absolutely no reason to min-max to the tune of 2% crit rate in anything else. I'm mainly debating with you at this point because you're still clinging to some insane idea that the only stat that's worth a damn on tanks is Critical Hit Rate, for some reason.

    They're getting it from the fact that you're advocating sacrificing Attack Power for marginal gains in secondaries. x)

    Idk why people keep trying to make it about dps, Bikkusu is jut trying to get more crit for those big equilibrium numbers...which I honestly can't say is better than trying to get more dps.

    Their not. Their saying that the amount of crit you get for those RNG procts isn't worth losing the amount of Vit/health in exchange for them. Then when anyone asks them (Bikkusu) for proof of how it's a better set up, mathematically, they deflect question and continue to rant on how great it is.

    But I personally don't agree with this as the situations mention by them (Bikkusu) aren't that great and really a crit set stands to benefit more from Blood Bath and Soul Eater in my opinion instead of a ability that no one should be using at top tier play (Clemancy) or a skill that won't always be used for heals and is probably better used for tp restoration still (Equilibrium). But I still don't agree that stacking full crit is the way to go.

    A few people seem to think Bikkusu is trying to get more dps, even though she's stated several times she's just trying to get more equilibrium crits. However, I agree with you. Either one doesn't offer enough reward for sacrificing all that vit.

    You've failed to accomplish step 1. You went straight for the augmented and raid gear. You're being ignored because you're failing to read the directions.
