Please add STR to Fending accessories

[Sapphic]

Tanks are there to tank. I don't see the need for strength other than to power your way through content quickly which isn't really necessary if you have good DPS.

Adding STR to accesories, as crafted, or using striking accs, increases damage thus increases enmity. Also for PLD, Clemency scales off WD and either AP or STR (probably AP of which STR increases anyways), Swapping between my Vit accs and MNK accs on PLD makes a significant difference in the amount healed with Clemency. Thus for PLD it is not all about DPS, same with WAR, harder they hit, the more they heal with certain attacks or buffs active.

Can't comment on DRK as havnt really gone past unlocking it yet. But I assume their attacks which replenish mana or HP scale off damage done.

Thing is OP, all accesories have 1 main stat, you are asking for one to have 2 added. STR and VIT. If they are all classes, all STR melee jobs will use them which would then have all the other jobs wanting VIT on their accs also. Not to mention gear has a stat budget, so would have to be split between STR and VIT making them weaker overall.

So don't hold your breath on it being added. Not saying I disagree, just reality and balance/equality of stat allocation with the other jobs with gear design wouldn't allow it.
