Be upgrades by being dps focused*Let me just link you two of the items in question, since I'm not sure you fully understand the topic at hand.
Diamond Necklace of Fending
Black Willow Necklace of Fending
They're both tanking accessories, but the i350 crafted version is valued higher than the i370 version.
Tanks aren't asking for actual dps/slaying accessories, they're asking for the higher ilvl Fending accessories to actually be upgrades.
So you aren't claiming that those 50 accessories are better because you meld them to be dps? How was I wrong exactly?
What else would tanks be focusing on, oh wise one?
Because health isn't worth stacking after sitting at an amount where you can comfortably handle tank busters with proper CD usage.
I hope you realise that literally every meld option for tanks increases a tank's dps. Even tenacity.Originally Posted by Cirgellon

By your definition, the only tanks that don't meld their accessories to be dps, are the ones that don't meld them at all.

Minus the sarcasm, I agree with Nezerius. First of all, 99.9% of melding is DPS-focused by design, the only exceptions are piety and vitality, and even piety can indirectly boost healer DPS. A tank that melds at all is melding for DPS, because that is quite literally the only thing they can meld that actually affects them. Furthermore, the idea that a 350 accessory is better than a 370 because of DPS isn't just an opinion, it's a mathematical fact. Tanks receive no benefit for boosting their health beyond what is required to survive a buster and one (maaaaaaybe two) auto-attacks afterward, as survival is completely binary and having more health will not reduce healer GCD usage, and is therefore irrelevant. Additionally the safety net the extra vitality on the 370 accessories provides is useless because you've clearly demonstrated that you didn't need it to clear the fight, hence having the accessory in the first place.
Stop trying to reinforce the idea of role purity where it simply does not exist.
