    I don't think this was the idea. Obviously if you take the 25 str out without giving it back it's going to upset the comparison. Like, you're nerfing the amount of str overall then we end up in a situation where the 270 accessories come back in to play because the str difference.
    Hey, the numbers are what they are, and we'll adjust to them like we always do, right?

    This is actually a more than equitable change because you're getting a -far higher- upgrade ratio than DPS get by comparison. DPS stats on accessories go up about 10% (135 to 149) where as a tank would be coing up close to 30% (43 to 57) while also regaining the ability to meld a materia slot, -and getting meaningful gear progression-.

    This literally ticks every box.
    It makes crafting not BIS
    It makes raid gear / end tome gear the best.
    You get your materia slot back.
    It allows for a fluid vertical progression because crafted gear will be just slightly better in the next tier while raid maintains the lead, so it has scaleability (30% more of say, 60 from the i380 crafted is +18 strength compared to +14 now)

    That sounds pretty damn good to me for giving up your strength meld, -like DPS do-
