what to use as Ring 2 as War?

[Dagimp007]

Whats the conclusion here, should we have 1 tanking ring on and then get a ilvl90 dps ring as the other for the Str? or stick with the DL tanking ring?

Also what would you wera, the AK Tank ring, or the Allagan Ring of Striking (i think thats what its called)?

[Garnatian]

Allagan + Hero Tank rings.

Gearing for Tanks in this game is rather boring. Just go for iLvl > Parry and that's it so long as you meet the ACC requirement.

right now i have on the AK tank ring and the DL tank ring.... i just got the allagan stricking ring (+st, +determ,+acc), i am thinking to swtich to that till i get the higher tanking rings for the simple fact Str does alot and i only loose a little VIt

STR doesn't do anything useful unless you break through the Parry caps. Why haven't you bought the Hero Fending Ring? It's one of the best Myth per Stat you can get.

Though as far as Hoplite Vs. DPS Allagan, the difference is pretty neglible, so use whatever you want.

Its up to debate a bit but in the end I guess it all comes down to one question, str or vit for war.
And the answer is, depends on what you want to do.
Im no high level war so im sure someone else can give you more exact info but generally I believe if you plan on doing coil you might want to stack vit gear but if you just want to farm AK/WP for other jobs then go for str.

All your jewellery should be HQ Gryphonskin melded with VIT, Parry and crit. More HP and nothing else is what PLDs should be gearing for.

You lose 25 VIT by using HQ Gryphonskin stuff, but you gain 45 STR, 45 DEX, some skill speed, crit and determination. For a Warrior it is well worth it.

Anything a Warrior can equip, a Paladin would equi.
You're giving up around 450 hp, just so that you can have a slightly stronger heal on your inner beast, a slight incrase on parry, and a very slight increase on crit and determination.
The 450 HP is far, far more beneficial for a Warrior than anything else.
Stacking vit is pretty much what you should do.

Around 10% more healed from Inner Beast plus the additional damage and enmity, probably 1 tier of parry strength (405 tier), and possibly 3-5% parry chance (based on Ninjiitsu's data). It's a tradeoff either way. WAR won't be main-tanking turns 4 or 5 regardless, so I'm not quite sure how much it matters.

[Leiron]

Based off my Bravura +1 relic my inner beast heals around 1183.
Assuming 10% more, that means I would go up to 1300 or so.
That's a lot less than a constant 450 hp that a tan ring would provide.
Furthermore while parry strength and chance would increase, this is still very much a random chance, and doesn't beat the consistency of 450 hp.
Even if you are OTing, I just don't see much of a benefit personally.
