Fending Accessories Strength Gain

[Booden]

A shame there's no relic accessories with Eureka, they would've been a good alternative to crafted accessories. Imagine i355 accessories with 5 VI slots, the absolute dream.

Do you think crafted accessories are really worth it? I could make them easily I have all my crafts leveled but I already beat O8S without them, used a lot of 370 ones. Is it really that much of a damage gain.

That wouldn't be a good alternative to crafted accessories at all, since those accessoires would allow tanks to max out strength. They'd essentially be walking around with fending+slaying accessoires merged into one set.

Those would pretty much blow every other fending accessory out of the water.

There is no denying that the crafted accessories are bis, but its not by a lot. You will see marginal damage gain.

Is it worth it? well that's up to you.

Not really worth it at this point, too late in the patch. Best to start using them early and really get your gil/efforts worth out of them. Start saving for next raid tier

I was originally against the crafted accessories.. But I'm glad I have them now, we have only had 1 tank accessory drop in the last 9 or however many weeks. I'd prolly still be wearing 340s at this point lol *knocks on wood*

I wish. Lets just say my DoW retainers are very well geared in tanking stuff.

They are very worth it in the first couple weeks of the patch. Penta-melded 350 accessories are wildly better than the 340 that you would have started sigmascape with. They are not very much better than the 370 accessories.
