    I too, made use of +VIT accessories which I obtained from numerous runs of Lakshmi EX.
    The numbers may be small, but you can always fix it with Strength Materia!

    And, even with 0 STR accessories before the patch, I never had any problems with tanking. DPS is not a main issue for tanks. It's secondary or even tertiary (with Tenacity on top). Just be grateful SE's taken this measure, alright? They don't want to make tanks have higher than expected DPS.

    And suddenly, the free T6 Materia tanks can print via AiN makes sense.

    Hurray for another expansion of zero melding choice for tanks.

    At least we won't be paying our severed limbs for the stuff, though.

    Choosing between the various flavours like Tenacity, Crit, Det, Direct Hit, or SS for smaller DPS differences is better than MAIN STAT or go home.

    But it was never really that way. In ARR, raid gear were used because crafted gear were released much later, so no melds.
    In Gordias, you still focused on overmelding STR.
    At Midas and beyond, calculation was changed, so you melded STR on raid drops, and now, you still meld STR on raid drops.

    And even with secondary stats, apart from melding accuraty to hit the cap (which I'm sure very few people actually liked), you still melded the stat with highest weight possible.

    I know how it was. My point was that tanks are still the only ones having to meld their mainstat and don't get the luxury of choice like the other roles.
