That said I haven't done any leveling dungeons with any of my tanks below brayflox since the change, so whether or not the change makes it impossible to hold agro against a good blm in the early dungeons I have no idea
    The accessories I wore at that level offered HP, not AP(/aggro) unlike now where it offers both, and Savage Blade now builds more aggro then it use to. just because the left side gear is at 90% of what it use to be for threat doesn't mean our overall comparable aggro generation is 90%. We now have 5 pieces offering AP where before there was none, in addition to the buff.

    Except you don't actually, the 5 vit you gain from the synced accessories in sastasha, copperbell and halatali only adds 2.25 ap, while the left side synced gear went from giving 13 ap total down to 7.2(not counting weapons, even though they'd be even more against your argument). You also get less ap per stat point as well. There's also the fact that before, most tanks weren't wearing vit accessories anyway and were getting ap from there accessories, and tanks actually at the level of the content could only wear str accessories as there's only a single wrist accessory that has vit, so they were getting more ap from their accessories than they are now.
