Tank Scaling still a massive issue

[Alphras]

Even if tank accessories had all str they would still be a worse drop for raid dps than getting a dps accessory drop. The whole argument that the raid is collectively disappointed at a fending drop is a strawman argument as they'll be disappointed no matter what stats are on a tank drop. It's a tank drop.

I don't really get where you see a straw man there, but your argument just shows that Square didn't address any of the problems and there are still major issues with tank scalling. And there is a difference between worse and borderline useless.

i340 Fending accessories are dangerously close to "not even an upgrade," especially when considering i320 crafted accessories.

Crafted accessories, if penta melded, are already better than ilvl 340 afaik and the margin should be quite big with the introduction of Direct Hit.



Edit: Well they did address the ilvl 270 STR accessory problem.
