Tanks, please use strength gear.. :(

My advice @ OP ? Git gud, get Raging Strikes from your Archer. Voila, 20% more deeps

Are you kiddin' me with this right now?
Jiminy crickets, are things so bad that now it falls to the tank to make or break the DPS check?
Two slaying accessories is plenty. If your needs are beyond that then we need new DPSes.

:eye roll: tanks should equip what they feel comfortable equipping to do their job of holding aggro and survival. If they can do it pure str fine, they feel better running pure vit fine, blend of the 2 fine. I currently run blend of str/vit gear on all three tank classes(trying to keep 3 str/2vit pieces). If you are having kill speed problems in duty finder, check DPS, then healer(cleric stance DPS), then the tank.

Depends on the healer. I'm sold on the concept of slaying accessories after getting a set of them and experimenting in various dungeons but I've had some bad healers that needed me to have that extra 4-5k hp to give them the extra few seconds to get a heal to me. Not that more HP makes you take less damage of course, but the extra hp gives the healer a few extra seconds to react.

It is funny because 99% of my df expert i am top dps by far on my warrior. Do you see me complaining on healer/dps forum?
People should really check the real dps of the dpser before yelling at tanks or healer. There Is just So many dps that are awfull and We can never Tell them.
Last time i ran neverreap with one of my static colleague He was playing scholar and the top 2 dps was me and him. That´s Life

I'd rather rather you stay in your tank stance. I see people going full vitality and tanking in non-tank stance and that stinks a lot. Only switch out when your not actively being attacked.

This was the dumbest part.

Full vit in DPS stance actually deals more damage than full strength in tank stance.

Not only does it deal more damage, but it also raises your hp to the same or even more effective hp than full strength in tank stance.

[Nadirah]

So "play how I want you to play" kinda thread? Sounds fun.

All this guy does is complain and make stupid suggestions anyway.

Just for you, Talathion, I'll go nab my fending set and RP walk through the dungeon.

[Nadirah]

I would rather you learn how to conserve your mana.

If he's SCH with mana problems, more energy drains. If AF is not on CD you're doing it wrong.

I almost always use STR accessories with my WAR, but on the topic of DPS stance... Well, frankly at my current gear level the Fractal last boss gives me Caduceus flashbacks - it hits like a friggin truck and it does so fairly consistently throughout the fight. Pretty much the only place in a dungeon where I'll stay in Defiance though.

The only thing that hits decently hard is the cleave and it'll hit for the same potency every time (no increased damage or stacking debuff/buff), so while in Deliverance you can alternate between Veng, Thrill + Conv, and RI for the autos. Otherwise just alternate Eye -> Path after an Unchained opener and you're solid.

There's one point, I believe, where he does 2 cleaves pretty close together but you can hold Veng for there if you like. Aside from the bomb debuff that needs cleansed, there's no other real damage going out during that boss, so your healer shouldn't have any trouble keeping you up when they need to. My healer who I always roulette with will DPS nearly the whole fight, usually just letting the fairy heal me through most of the damage.

In a DF setting without a healer you know you can trust, you can always swap to Deliverance still and if things look like they'll get dicey, throw on Defiance -> Equilibrium and you can pretty much take care of yourself from there.
