Dark Knight unable to roll Need on Armour drops that I should be able to.

Date & Time: Every day.

World name: Omega
Character name: Kaiko Shimizu
Retainer name: N/A
NPC name: N/A
Monster name: N/A
Class/Level: Dark Knight 56
Party or solo: Party
In-game time: N/A
Area and coordinates: Every dungeon I have been in since the first noticed the issue a few days ago.
Housing: N/A
Steps:
1. Enter Dungeon finder dungeon as DRK with standard loot rules.
2. Get a "Heavy Armour" Loot Drop from a chest.
3. Unable to click Need despite my class being in named on the Armour item in question.


A more detailed explanation. I have only noticed this occuring in the last few days(I believe since I passed level 50 on my DRK), or at least I have no recollection of it occuring in dungeons I ran prior to level 50.

When an Armour item drops that has the classes listed as "GLA MRD PLD WAR DRK" I can Need roll on the item without issue. However when the item instead has the jobs required listed as "GLA MRD LNC PLD WAR DRG DRK" I am only able to greed for the item despite being a Dark Knight.

Since I became aware of the issue I have been monitoring and testing this in every dungeon I have run as a DRK and it occurs 100% of the time. It seems that any item which has the addition of LNC and DRG listed refuses to let me as a DRK tank Need roll on it despite the tooltip indicating that I should be able to.

At the moment, this is an annoyance, however if this bug continues all the way to max level it will begin to have a much more significant impact.

Thank you.

Hi,

I believe this is working as intended and has been addressed in the past:

Even though a DRK can wear the armor, if it is DPS based (includes LNC & DRG) they cannot roll need. There is a bit of overlap in gear for tanks + DPS. This ensures the DPS classes get first bid whereas as a DRK you can need on tank-specific drops.

Hope that helps!

Yes it's because LNC and DRG are included that you cannot roll need. However, post 50, no dungeon gear should be like that. But, I haven't rolled on low level loot in some time, so I can't say with certainty.

Ah thanks for clarifying.

I did wonder if that might be the case but couldn't find clarification anywhere and didn't find that thread in any of my searches to see if it had been posted before.
