My greatest fear with this change is stated above: That my Slaying jewelry will become useless and I'll lose a notable amount of ilvls by having to use my Fending accessories, that I've not really been keeping up on.

Though, I feel as if it won't be such a big change. They'll probably nerf War DPS a bit, and bump up DRK a bit, and maybe PLD a notable amount. I enjoy my role as "Off-DPS" that my static lovingly calls me, but I do feel that I can DPS a bit too much while still being able to turn on tank-mode and tank things just fine.
