lol.

Also keep wasting your daily postcount double-post replying.

it makes no sense to take a loss of item level, when dps gains can be made much easier elsewhere, and you OVERALL stats are waaaayyy better.

The higher strength would also scale with your secondaries better on the Noct piece. Please take into consideration the OP and his intent, your advice is very bad for new tanks or aspiring tanks.

My advice to go 30 STR and have a healer go 0 MND is very bad for new tanks, yes. I would hope new tanks have enough brain cells to figure that much out.

It's also a matter of opportunity cost for progression. Body/leg soldiery pieces cost 825. If you can fill in the gap for "free" and it also happens to be a DPS increase versus the i100 alternative, you're getting more relative quality right now.

Which is not the point of this topic, I know, but new tanks will stagnate fast if all they focus on is "BiS" (which, if you're gearing for Parry, isn't BiS anyways).

Also consider everyone on this topic is wearing Noct Lorica because, surprise, they level other jobs and don't want to waste their weekly ST on a marginal sidegrade.
