Shire tank gear

[aleph_null]

The full i270 shire set with i270 slaying ring only has like 290 less stat weight compared to the best non overmeld set which weighs just above 6.1k stat weight: http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/XKP2. That's not even a 5% loss in stat weight. Sure it is a pretty big difference, but considering how easy you can get this set (roulettes and upcoming 24 man raid) I wouldn't call it garbage.

Edit: Just to add for people who are thinking of stepping into savage raids for the first time, by mixing a9s-a10s drops you can improve the full shire set above to just around 180 stat weight below the full i270 set with savage weapon, chest and pants, so that's like 3% less stat weight below people who can clear a12s.
