Crafted accessorizes to make a come back for off tanks?

[mcspamm]

You can no longer overmeld main stats on pieces, so you're still capped at 25 Strength per accessory, whether it's crafted or not.

Quoting the 3.2 Patch Notes:

"Players are now unable to use advanced materia melding for the following parameters:

STR / DEX / VIT / INT / MND / PIE

* Materia melds that have taken place before Patch 3.2, including advanced materia melds, will continue to display the same effects."

This is why some tanks are currently using the i270 strength accessories, because it gives them the highest possible attack power.

We'll have to see what changes are made regarding tank accessories in patch 4.05 on July 18th to see which accessories and melds will be the most worthwhile going in to Delta Savage.

That said, I could see tanks picking crafted accessories and overmelding Direct Hit instead depending on what the upcoming changes do.
