i170/180 Tank Accessories

[Daerthalus]

Assuming a full set of i170.

What tank accessories (right side) are optimal?

- I have heard that full STR accessories is the way to go since there is currently no content that requires the additional Vitality. Whether or not you go with Full Vit or Full Str (Attibutes) is marginal.

- I have heard people doing Full STR (Attributes), All but 1 Vit (Accessories), 1 Str Ring. Since you cannot get 2x VIT i170/i180 rings.

-- Same applies to i180 gear.

Looking for your Thoughts on this.

Highest ilvl in all slots, so def 1 str 1 vit ring.

Beyond that, Str accessories vs Vit accessories is a personal choice, based on group and playstyle.
If you can get away with less Vit and still beat the content, then Str is the clear winner.

i150s are best right now.

If you have to use tome accessories, you'll want slaying first. We have massive HP pools and nothing to fight yet. Alexander might change that and Alexander HM definitely will but HM is 2.5 weeks away.

I'm with you. Pentamelded i150 accessories. It is a great option.

Edit: Isn't there an ilvl requirement for some of these extreme primals? Can you hit that with i150 accessories? If not, are you using i170 to get in and then putting on i150 afterwards?

There isn't an item level on the EX primals, since you can only do them with a full group.

Not ready to dump the money into melded accessories especially since they're just going to come out with new ones in like 3.1 or something, so for now I'm just shooting for with iLevel 180 VIT accessories with an iLevel 180 STR ring instead of the iLevel 170 un-upgraded VIT ring, at least until I get to know fights and stuff and feel like I can take off some VIT.

Should do i180 slaying instead. Ravana EX is the hardest fight in the game right now and requires ~12k HP for a PLD. My first clear I was i148.

Does the same hold true for Warriors?

Does the same hold true for Warriors?

The order is the same for all tanks:

Left side > Slaying acc > Fending acc

Good to know!
