Fending vs. Slaying accessories at this point in the game

LB3 in T13 was used for Teraflare, not tank busters.

Then they hot fixed it because originally they were considered ranged and Raw Intuition didn't work during week one. This doesn't change the fact that majority of mechanics that are considered physical ranged usually aren't block/parryable.

You feel perfectly comfortable but the healers in DF won't.

So you've spoken to all the healers in the game about this?

If you decide to pee in the middle of street and feel perfectly comfortable, do you also need to ask all the people on the street whether they are ok with it, in order to figure out they are not? Common sense please.

It just so happens that I do heal in DF quite often & I prefer my tanks in full slaying. In fact, up to Heavensward release I got annoyed if they used their tank stance for anything but Akh Morn. Being bad at the game doesn't mean you get to force everyone else to stack VIT to make you feel better.

It just happens I have WHM and PLD on 60 and as a healer I had tank with 12500 HP in STR gear in A4, what can I say - he died couple of times faster than I could get off single cure on him, because he was simply lacking HP to do what tanks usually do there (eating 5-6 orbs without incoming heals, taking a hit after discoid before first heal). DF groups are not statics where people don't do so many mistakes, in DF you have dps standing in poop etc. When it comes to choosing among tank death, myself or death of 3 other dps, I let the stupid tank die. He was there to tank not dps, his dps was not contributing to anything there, since A4 does not have tight dps check at all. He was just putting more stress on me and the other healer.

That may be a bad analogy, most people probably don't want to see other people peeing in the streets.. Lol

You know what makes a tank easier or harder to heal... skill. Vit vs Str accessories really don't matter.
Using Cooldowns properly and dodging mechanics is far more important than which accessories you are wearing.

You can do every single dungeon in this game in full slaying, no grit and even the most mediocre healer should be able to keep you alive if you play your tank properly. Only problem with no tank stance is lack of enmity if your dps are actually decent.
