You know, I've seen you mention this in two separate threads thus far and I feel like it should be called to your attention that damage output is also necessary for building and maintaining enmity, which is why people are prioritizing "DPS materia" melds and wearing 270 STR accessories over melding and wearing the newer Tanking stuff. On top of that, I feel you're not familiar with the fact that, in most cases, Tank gear is already designed to be at the maximum stat caps available for Tank-focused stats, which gives people a reason to meld that aforementioned "DPS materia" in order to shore up the damage stats that the pieces of gear lack.
