Accs really should have class reqs...

Just wanted to correct some misinformation here regarding tanks and strength accessories.

In most cases warrior tanks especially are stacking strength accessories even on endgame content. Why you ask? because you only need enough hp to take the big hit...everything after that is wasted

[Kerberon]

Tanks don't just use Melee accessories solo, in any dungeon pre-Haukke (where you get your first tank stance and VIT differences start to matter; note, this does assume the tank is lv50 and knows how to tank properly) going a maxed-STR build is perfectly fine, and can help speed up runs. You can probably use STR accessories all the way to AV, and thanks to all the nerfs its definitely possible to do that in AK (I actually healed AK once using only Eos...yeah, that place got hit HARD). They also are great for OTs in some fights (any HM primal, T5, T7, T8, Prae and CM) and even MTs on bosses where damage is low (Demon Wall, Hali HM first boss, Bray HM second and third bosses, Ruins first and second bosses, etc)

Certain SMN builds (esp Tanking with Titan runs) require VIT accessories, and VIT accessories are also used to meet HP requirements (way back when 3200 hp for Titan HM was a lot for casters/heals, T5 pre-Echo, T9, etc)


Just because some people are not too bright doesn't mean we need to change this.

For my part I was just trying to make the point that there are reasons to not have "tanky" acc on a tank for a tank set and limiting it would be a bad idea with one specific example. I realize that there are many more and more even for some other classes.

I stack Strength accessories on everything that I do as my Warrior at the moment, including Brayflox Speed Runs (only usually if I know the Healer).

Even on Turn 6 I use two Weathered Gloam accessories.

If this were to happen, suddenly WAR off-tanking looks a whole lot less fun. Those STR accessories really do come in handy. And on that note, being a MRD in PVP without being able to use STR accessories isn't going to achieve anything.

This is most duty finder groups....

People wanna be different. It's not that they don't know what their primary stats are and that they should be using them. They wanna try to be "unique" and try something different.

In day to day life, that might be a way to be special. But since brayflox and most activities in this game are pretty easy, you can get away with really really poor choices that simply wouldn't fly in life in general and still succeed.

Like: "Hey, I need to hammer this birdhouse together, but I don't have a hammer. Oh look! There is a jelly-filled donut, that should do the trick!"

What if you hammered that nail with that donut and maybe it didn't work very well, but you successfully hammered the nail? You might keep doing it right? Suddenly, every time you needed to hammer a nail, you'd be looking for a donut to do the job because that is your special technique. You might even convince other people to start hammering nails with donuts, causing a whole lot of forum pondering what donut with what filling is best to hammer a penny nail. All the meanwhile, people that actually hammer nails with hammers just stare with a confused look... :P

Are you sure they weren't just using them to raise their ilvl?

[Seif]

Gear limits to entering should be more specific. There's no reason why the game should allow people in T1 because they put on a pair of crafting glasses to make up the ilvl difference.

I had some genius DRG earlier in T2 with a ridiculous mix of fending and aiming accessories...I assume the aiming was to try and stack crit (because melee accs are short on Crit?) ...the fending helped push them to 6k HP sure...but they still died on ADS before the mages with 4k HP lol Sorry 6k HP isn't going to save you from death by Blood for Blood.

[LalaRu]

...6k HP isn't going to save you from death by Blood for Blood.

If in duties with group-wide-unavoidable-aoe, that skill will be automatically renamed "Suicide", I'm pretty sure someone uses it anyway.

[Kyriea]

I don't think anything SE implement would cure stupidity. In those situations you just have to accept there's no helping them and find a different group.
