    The plundered haubergeon is actually lancer gear that just happens that mrd/pld can equip, only lnc/drg can need on it. The plundered cuirass is the actual tank drop that you can need on in the dungeons.

    Yep. The item has more Def than Mdef, so it is not tank gear, it is LNC/DRG gear.

    Tank gear will have even Def and Mdef, while LNC/DRG will have about half as much Mdef as it has Def.

    Weather it's actually designed for tanking isn't of particular relevance. As I understand it, you can roll Need on anything you can equip, and it's equipable to Gladiator. The same issue also happened with other gear pieces in other dungeons, though I didn't think to record those instances. I think at least a few of them were specifically GLA/PLD gear, but that's just my memory speaking.

    As you understand it there are also exeptions and this is one of them. You are able to lot pieces that benefits the most to your class. Is the same with the accesories, they are all classes but only the class that gain the most can need them.

    I love the official forums, they tell you to use the search for thread about what you wanted to talk but when you use it they judge for necro a thread.
