Paladin STR Accesories?

[Blitzace]

Question about these, Do they make a big difference in lets say your aggro meter when you flash or just overall ? Are the worth getting if you're good on VIT?

Kinda wanna get it to try it out but at the same time don't wanna waste all those Sold Tomestones so hope someone could answer me before i waste all those precious tomestones ! :P

I don't believe STR accessories affect aggro from Flash just going from the description of the strength stat, which is
"Affects physical melee damage, as well as damage prevented by parrying and blocking."
I mean, I have a set of STR accessories regardless, just for when I feel like I can afford to DPS, but I don't think it affects flash whatsoever.

I don't remember exactly what Flash's threat generation scales off of, but I remember hearing that it's based on your "Physical Damage" stat, which is directly correlated to your Strength. If that's the case, Strength accessories would make Flash more powerful.

Yea i heard once that Fight or Flight also helps with flash(Not sure if this is true or not) So i would assume it would, Guess we are just gonna have to test it out!

Afaik flash scales with your attack power, so STR would increase it, but FoF would not.

Hmm oke thanks!

Depending on bosses, in some fights, I would prefer a tank as much tanky as possible (like T8-9)
In some other fights, like T7 or T6 if not solo tanking, and some extremes like Ramuh maybe, on all the easy dj, why not ?

Really depends on your group but we use i110 STR accessories for everything now. (*we don't do Savage)

I always thoughT Flash scaled with weapon damage.

Flash scales with weapon damage and attack power. Also, it is affected by any universal damage% effects. However, because Flight or Flight only affects PHYSICAL damage%, it does not affect Flash. Flash is considered to be magical, despite how it scales. However, it is not affected by Foe Requiem.

According to blitzball (a website that compiled a bunch of damage, healing and enmity statistics), enmity is equal to the amount of damage done times multipliers from ability bonuses (shield oath/defiance, and any enmity generating attack). Flash is basically a damage-less physical attack with potency 500 and no enmity multipliers.

People discredit it for being old and out of date, but I'd think it's probably still qualitatively correct, if not quantitatively correct. Equip two physical damage classes/jobs with flash and provoke, figure out the rough damage/potency for each class with/without str accessories, and with/without FoF, and futz around on a training dummy seeing if the other class needs to do more damage after a provoke/flash when using FoF and/or str accessories.
