Tank Weights

[Dervy]

I used the highest possible PPS outcome that can be fit into 9 GDCs, which is also part of the rotation used for the model. BB, SE combo, FR, IB, then BB Combo to end. And that is a good point, you could set it so even with 8GDC, you end with the Butchers Block. But that's still 1 additional hit that's missing out from a 1.5x Strength boost. And the way this rotation is set out, you'll end up missing a Butchers Block either way.

And definitely. If the weight increase of SS is comparable to nearly 1:1 with Strength to obtain 9 GDCs, then that makes it more worth it than CRT or DET by miles. The second you hit 390ss though, then the weight falls off completely, where it's back to your standard DET/CRT/PRY stacking.

I can't exactly advise how you should play or gear Warrior however. That's up to those who're more knowledgeable about this job than I am. What I can say is though, if you're going for a pure VIT/PRY tank, don't even bother. You'd lack the SkillSpeed, unless you decide to wait for i110 accessories. If you're going for a pure DPS spec'd tank however, then based on the updated weights, this what I can recommend: http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/P582. I really don't know how much VIT this set equates to though... All of this is still up in the air for you guys to discuss/criticise however.
