???

- The +10 VIT you can get elsewhere with Melds, if you dont sit at Cap allready.
- Crit Attack Power > Atk ( more hp income )
- 5 less STR on Tricorne, also can be obtained with a meld from other Gear, if not at Cap.
- DEX is acc and block-rate ( idc about the proc-rate, but thats a fact and war needs block-rate ).
- Crit +20 > - 10 eva, healing magic -20 ( more crit hit, more hp from crit attacks )

Not only that it is in fact better for war-DD, the tricorne dont have the - stats, which are actually bad for a war-tank.. well eva is it.

So you are saying you will take the DL-Helm over Tricorne because of the +10 VIT while you dont care about other stats, which are actually a disadvantage compared to tricorne for WAR-Tank?

The Tricorne is a really Decent Head-Piece and if you dont have double/triple melded Stuff i would take it over DL-Helm.
Are you comparing two dd hats for what a tanking war needs? I would go with Militia Armet if you want to tank, but regardless you dismiss 10 vit and 5 str and say to get it else where and then point out the acc loss in 15 dex when you can get that elsewhere..

I was unaware War needs block rate... Are you sure you are not confusing this with parry?
