WARRIOR STATS ALLOCATION

[Zdenka]

Have changed from full VIT to hybrid str/vit to clear T9 and now full Str. Will probably go back to full VIT for 2.4's next ilvl jump as survivability usually is much better when learning a fight.

Also having WAR do more DPS is in part which helped us have 2 groups clear turn 8 on week 1 as we used 2 tanks instead of 5 DPS on both with ilvl90 gear. (next turn 8 clear was like...6? days later from the next FC... its that DPS o.o)

WAR should do somewhere around 140-180 DPS in full VIT gear and can do about 300 when in full STR gear/out of Defiance. (usually it comes down to about 240-250 if you are doing tank swaps... but if you aren't you should just bring another MNK anyways)

Its a significant difference having your OT do 100-120 more DPS.


I have full left side besides for feet (ilvl100 instead of 110) and have 8220 HP with food/VIT buff. Nothing really will "kill me" unless the healers aren't paying attention or a buff is missed, but with how EXTREMELY predictable the hardest hitting fight in the game T9 is, it is very difficult to miss a buff. (523 STR, 480 VIT out of a party right now ilvl103 mostly cuz right side is all 90s)

Whos says you have to go full on either. Been 20 VIT 10 STR from day 1 and I have done it all with out changing stats even once. A solid mix is def the best way to go as a WAR.

how do you know if you've never tried anything else? Are you sure that 300 hp has been essential to your skills as a warrior? And you believe the extra hp is best for all warriors?

no, whatever stats the encounter you're fighting needs is the "best way to go as a WAR."

tell your statics to pass darklight gear from sol runs to you so you can afford stat respecs for different encounters. the more your static's gear rises, the less you need to tank as WAR and the more you can let your PLD solo tank. eventually, you can afford to stay 30 STR for every SCoB encounter.

i haven't equipped VIT gear in weeks. it all depends on your group's item level.

i also use strength because my WAR is ilvl90 and i only use it to get the gil bonuses. I can keep hate easier with dps class the are no higher that 110. iI' not gonna get any tank gear until i level up my other class( BRD and SCH)
