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

    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 kind of just gave away that you have no idea what the stats actually do in the last sentence. And... "last time I saw": so what documentation do you have to back up your claims? It should be pretty obvious if the stats didn't do anything, then they would have just left the effect as determining ranged damage.

    just going to drop here, it was done by a redditor. it might just be a lack of testing but it seems that parry rate actually drops at higher dex rates. block rate seems fine however.



    though in reality it wouldn't be a good idea to use aiming jewlery or melding for dexterity on a tank unless your testing this. acc/parry/vit are still our important stats.
