When is an i100 item better than an i110? - I.E. ST Hands

[Rbstr]

And my rebuttal was directed at the person suggesting that the i100 chest piece was ever better than the i110. Which it just isn't.

If you want to do more damage it is better. It simply is more damage. Are there other ways of doing that? Yeah and they will want to be explored first. But really, you're losing negligible numbers of defense stats for only marginal DPS gains with the swap: Swapping an accessory is a much larger change in HP than going i110 to i100 tank chests.

The way I see it is that, if you haven't upgraded the Noct Lorica and you don't need oils, the ST chest is something to get and will keep just fine until you can get a t9 chest. It's a good alternative to ever getting the Weathered Lorica in the first place.

pssttt hey OP, everyone in this discussion is wearing the noct lorica..... just some food for thought. Even the guy telling you to wear the i100

Lets be "realistic" here: This argument is over insignificant amounts of defense and damage. If you've already got the i110 it's just not a priority when you could be gettings oils or UATs or gearing alts.
