WAR accessories! "a little help please..."

[Ercapote]

As a former PLD since 2.0 I'm now changing to WAR in heavensward, and I'M LOVING IT!
now, we all now how fending acc are trash and I want to maximize my current war to be the very best since my group are kinda telling my that I'm not outputting as much dps as I could make. jokes on me

so question: what would be the best 150 acc set I could get and what materia should be melded on them also, I want to know if the Ilvl drops o much to the point it affects you to actually do content and or how long do you guys think this acc are gonna be reliable till the next Bis. thx before hand.

get STR lv150 accessories and meld VIT III/IV materias on all 5 possible meld slots, or get VIT ilv150 acessories and meld STR III/IV materias

parry is kinda bad for WAR, if you wanna parry lots of physical stuff you have raw intuition for guaranteed parry for 20seconds, so try to avoid fending accessories with parry

that's pretty much it. some skill speed is always nice so you can fit up to 3 fell cleaves during berserk (using vengeance/raw intuition/infuriate for abandon stacks as needed)

Thanks a lot, now I have a little question, do you think with the upcoming 3.1 coming we are going to have new acc or this 150 are going to be sitting there for a while, also my other question, is the Ilvl drop an issue?

If you can't afford melds, you should be running at least 3 strength accessories. I run 5, but i trust my healer alot.

Make sure you redo your stat placement into STR.

then what will be the difference on running with ilvl 170-190 acc? besides more dps?

edit- ho! nvm I undertand it wrong, thx.

All good, I think I kinda mistook your post too lol. Otherwise it's more options available for those that don't have gil resources or crafter buddies.

Neck - Slaying
Earring - Fending
Bracelet - Fending
Ring - Slaying
Ring2 - Slaying

Fendings = STR IV x4, STR III x1
Neck = VIT IV x3, VIT III x1, SS IV/III or DET IV/III x1
Rings = VIT IV x3, VIT III x1, ACC IV/III or DET IV/III x1

Nobody knows. The ilvl drop isn't an issue unless you fall below i170 to enter Alex NM, in which case just switch to the appropriate accessories and then switch back to i150 when you get in.

That's all. The reason you wear i150 in the first place is for the extra DPS, if all you want is more health then go pure VIT accessories.

this helps a lot thx so much it was exactky what i was looking for.

My assumption is that 3.1 is gonna have crafted ilv180 accessories. Maybe in 3.07 tomorrow but i kinda doubt it.

It's been like this during all 2.X patches... one patch introduces the crafts for left side gear of a certain ilvl (already happened in 3.05 for ilv180), one or two patches later they introduce crafted weapons and accessories of that ilvl.

Nonetheless, those are gonna cost A LOT if they keep the trend of having so many rare mats needed for crafting ilv180 stuff, and I don't see developers NOT doing that, unfortunately.

What would be the overall melded acc costs if you were able to make them yourself? Would it be much cheaper than paying a crafter to do them for you, If so how much?
