    You mean as a tank I shouldn't wear one 210 Fending and one 210 Slaying ring..........

    I think what you mean to say more is don't wear a class ring that doesn't improve your useful stats, since a tank with 1 Fending 210 and 1 Slaying 210 is better than a tank with 2 Fending with one of them being a lower iLevel.

    Its debatable which is better depending on the content, one str 210 and one 210 fending ring will however be stronger than a 200 vit ring and 210 vit ring no question, without even taking in the secondary stats which are likely to be skewed in the str rings favour.

    45 vit vs 47 str, you will likely never notice the difference. Depending on content, yes you may or may not need the extra HP. For such a marginal difference I'd take the HP anyways, cuz you know, tanks.

    A 210 fending and 210 slaying is a ~1 attack point difference give or take a decimal. Its moot to choose between the two since both are useful for tanks now if they are the same iLevel. A 210 slaying ring is ~1 Attack point more than a 200 fending ring. What you're looking for is the secondary stats, Acc, Crit, Speed etc. If a 210 slaying has Crit and ACC and another 200 fending gives you Det and Parry. You're choosing between how effective the secondary is and what/if-it can be melded. So one of each at 210 is still better than one 210 and one 200 of the same type.

    Summoner example: 210 Int with Det & Crit or 210 Mind with SS & Det for your second ring. Summoner still has Physic and Raise and either heals pets or emergency back up when the healer is Swift cast + Rez by the Summoner. This is more of a challenge to choose from given the initial concept of the job and it could make use of both given the situation.

    Healer: 210 Mind x2 or one 210 Mind and one 210 INT? Unless V grade Mind is melded or the secondary stats make up or justify the use of INT for solo stuff. Healing potency will take a bigger hit by using one 210 Int over 200 Mind. Unless you can craft it or find a comparable ring from somewhere else. It's justifiable to have one mind ring ten iLevels below for healing. You just can't wear two of the same item if it is Unique
