Why are not all accessories locked behind jobs, including the old ones ?

With people using diversion I don't see why tank would have agro issue. They must be really bad if they do.

You're making the assumption that DPS actually use Diversion.

That's what I call a bad DPS not thinking about agro.

You're making the assumption that DPS actually use Diversion.

You are making the assumption that just because that SAM hasn't been running Diversion due to a lack of need to run Diversion before they won't slot it after the need arises.

I'm not usually running Diversion either because I rarely need it, instead I try to bring some additional utility for the group. If threat becomes an issue I'll readily slot Diversion though.
Just because someone rips aggro once it's not the end of the world, it only becomes an issue when they refuse to manage their aggro after it becomes necessary.

When I slot diversion it means that I do not have faith in the tanks ability to manage the amount of enmity they are suppose to be maintaining. I don't have a problem with it, had to do it last night in Lakshmi EX with a main tank and off tank. I try and run extra utility, especially as a Sam. I will slot diversion, not because I want to but because the tank(s) are forcing my hand to.

Because of the ridicolous tank nerf VIT = HP ONLY.... <.<a Im wearing ilvl270 STR Accessories as a protest and to DO actually damage! I wont wear any VIT Accessories till they change it back! > As Paladin: with full ilvl270 of STR Acc's, the damage raised ALOT! Alone Auto atk fraised from tiny 700 to 1000! Not to mention all other atk skills >-> Why bother with SB Acc's if they only boost your Max HP...? So yeah.. soon we will have "tanks" full of STR gears in raids back... thanks SE...

THIS! Not gonna take off the STR accs no matter what. And if they decide to lock them too, I'll just stop tanking, all of your DPS queues can go to hell.

Well simply because tank aren't dps, they're tank, that's why vit = vit and str = dps. That's not weird and not hard to understand.
Are they going to wear 270 accessories still when the ilvl will be 400+ at the end of stormblood? Seriously this is stupid. Like I said people take the dps too seriously. Just go play a dps job if you wanna dps as tank/heal

Pretty sure you of all people have no right to be talking shit about what Tanks do. Seeing as you don't even have a single Tank job above level 32. Which means you've never even Tanked the later parts of ARR, the entirety of HW, or any of the new Stormblood content. So you're just one of those people who thinks they're somehow an expert on the role even though they've got ZERO high level dungeon tanking experience.

Have you ever heard about alt char?

Hi I'm a new player in Final Fantasy 14. I got to the end of the game today. When I was levelling, I found out I could STILL wear all the old accessories pre-SB normally. This has gotta be a bug right ?.

Nope.

Also, all the V1.0 gear is still in the game, though downgraded visually. The only difference between the V1.0 and V2.0 gear is that the V1.0 gear is not class locked.

The V3.0 gear narrows things down, so most tank gear is job locked from DPS gear, and most caster gear is locked between healer or caster. Only with V4.0 do accessories become job locked.

You'll also note that there hasn't been any aetherial (pink) gear since about level 44. The pink gear had random secondary bonuses, while the green gear all have the same bonuses. When you tap "recommended gear" it does not know if pink or green gear is better because recommended only looks at the ilevel, not the secondaries.

Hence if you have two accessories of the same ilevel with different secondaries, recommended gear will not favor one over the other.

Oh boy... Lets see now... Full 270 slaying gives tanks around 200 to 300 dps in total, 2 tanks in raid thats 400 to 600 increase in raid dps or more, which is not a small amount, on a trade off for around 9K HP per tank. Which is something that many tanks will do, because not only does it make EVERYTHING faster and if you CD properly, you won't die.

And on the point of people taking dps too seriously.... I mean, sure, if you want to be mediocre or something, sure don't think about it... You are ofcourse entitled to your own opinion, but what you are not entitled is dictating how others play, and since you can critizise them, they can and will do the same for you, its a 2 way street.

On a side note, this whole mess would have been avoided if they either 1. kept the thing in place where str & vit both gave damage or 2. make it so vit gives all the damage or 3. retroactively lock the pre-SB accessories.

Since we have to undress when we fantasia for years now (probably because of gender restricted gear), I assume a system which turns equipped items unavailable isn't that easy to achieve.

Well, but since they got an inventory space increasement resulting in guaranteed free space on launch for everyone they maybe could've put all right side equipped regardless of class in armoury.
