Well, it depends. For my lowbie dungeon roulette on SCH today, I was put in Sastasha story mode with a DRK. The DRK and I glanced at each other's gear and HP, and both went GLEE!!!!

I told him to pull as much as he wanted. We were done in 15 minutes. That was fun.

(I also told the newbie lancer that what he was experiencing right now was probably not something to ever expect again.)

Aren't all "of Striking" items restricted to PUG/MNK only?

Not jewelry.

Well, technically that's "of Slaying" gear, but I digress. ;p

The first set of Coil drops were shared, though they were Striking/Maiming alike.

The Philosophy(Our very first tomes) tomestone gear was likewise the same

The Mythology (Our very first WEEKY LOCKED tomes) tomestone gear was the first deviation, giving only "Slaying"

Gear introduced after that became "OF slaying", so calling accessories "Of striking" or "Of maiming" or "Of slaying" is as interchangable as it can get.

Not the accessories. The issue sounds like a dps turned DRK, who saw tanks in STR accessories doing big pulls in easy content and figured it was the norm for anywhere. I cringe every time I see a DRK in the party, and about half the time I'm pleasantly surprised by a good tank.
