    Melding heavy wolfram gear for warrior

    im new to tanking and am making myself the full hq wolfram set. Ive never done coil but planning on downing 1-5 asap and maybe starting 6-10, however I will never farm it.

    http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...acter/1180227/

    My question is this: Whats the best melds to use on the wolfram set. ive seen lots of argument of dex over parry and the others saying don't do that. I know to cap accuracy first but am fairly cluesless a to what to do next

    thanks in advance

    i plan on making a dps set, basicly as much crit and det as i can get in them after putting in acc, so if i OT i have a lot more potential damage, i know as a tank i shouldnt worry before people say, but OT doesnt normaly take as much damage, so the slight drop in vit isnt going to kill me, but yet i can help end the fight faster, even if just by 30 seconds over all. for MT though im stacking sold gear for the simple fact of more vit overall

    You'll never be able to get enough DEX on it to be of any use to you, so don't go there. Parry, accuracy, and determination are your best options depending on what they cap out at for melding. You will need 490 accuracy for coil, if I am remembering correctly, and the Heavy Wolfram set itself doesn't give you much, so focus on that for starters.

    It's packed with skill speed at the expense of much more important stat that you'll have to get through melds (Accuracy, Parry, Crit/Det).

    In the end, once properly melded, Skill Speed is the only things you'll gain in a significant amount and it's a crappy stat not worth spending thousands of myths (or millions of gils).

    Getting melded Gryphonskin accessories if much much more valuable than the Wolfram Set. Especially if the intent is to have a offensive OT set.
