Accs really should have class reqs...

[pikster]

Just got out of an hour hour brayflox HM run, yeah... An hour...

Party IQ not withstanding I noticed that the WHM's heals were doing basically nothing, I examined and they were wearing full i100 INT gear, not a point of MND to be found. So I mentioned it and (of course) they said that the tank was taking too much damage... SO I checked them, Curtana, ok, Holy shield, ok... Darklight band of aiming, neck of aiming, earings of aiming, kneck of aiming... Their justification, "It is better".

They each had around 50-60 points of stats that were entirely useless to them and gave nothing to make the party's dungeon any easier.

Excluding perhaps crafting accs (lolSB), should there be class reqs on this equipment? To help people from themselves...

The only problem with this would be for tanks that use dps accessories when in the open world to help their dps. While this might help, you really can't save people from themselves, they'll still do something else, and if you eliminate all choice the game gets rather boring.

Oh I totally get where you are coming from, I know on my WAR if im off tanking and not going to be taking many hits I will throw on some STR accs and DPS fo days. Was there not a system in 1.0 that had recommended classes? So if it wasnt in one of those the stat was less effective? Though I know pretty much everything of 1.0 is something to be forgotten XD.

Mmk... Pro tank tank you are who doesn't read stat descriptions. You're just mad that he found out before you did.

Dexterity improves blocking rate for a Paladin... it is in fact, much better.

[AmyNeudaiz]

It's actually really not better to use DEX gear on PLD. The eHP of straight VIT outweighs the mitigation of DEX.
Bad tanks be bad

[Jon_00]

Luckily what you're experiencing is a 1 in a 100 situation. Bad players will always be bad. Ain't nothing you can do about it except for make a premade. I gave up on the DF a long time ago!

Two troll posts in a row, okay I'll bite. Unless something has changed since I last saw, dexterity boosts block and parry rate by such a pathetically small amount it's not even worth considering. Unless you have a link to some documented testing on the subject, quit spreading misinformation.

You remind me of this BLM who asked why I was using i110 masterwork weapon over tidal wave staff because "the stats aren't as good". You're sacrificing vit for det. Too many people read some min maxing meta talk and greatly outweigh its importance.

I've seen a lot of people do this during Titan HM. They use whatever gear they can to raise their item level, have terrible HP, expect a carry, and die to stomps.
