Gear Question

[Judge_Xero]

i'm currently using

Storm Seargent Axe (VIT+40)
Lominsan Officer Cap (VIT/HP+30) - Keep Fighter's for tanking
Lominsan Officer Gloves (HP+100,Acc+50)
Lominsan Officer Overcoat (STR/VIT+10, Def+70)
Fighter's legs - Try to get some Melded Felt Trousers ~+18STR/+20 VIT
Fighter's boots - HP Melded boots would be good. Sentinel's Preferred
Rubellite+1x2
Electrum Gorget+1
Storm Seargent bracelets (AP+3,STR+7)
Storm Seargent ear (AP+4, Crit AP+4)
Penance (STR+2, VIT-1) // Sentinel's Plate Belt (Vit+4) Unmelded - Meld this with Enmity or HP

Is fighter burgeonet better than than lominsan cap? why? - It gives a bonus to Antagonize which is great for tanking 1.5x to 2.5x (something like this)
Antagonize works for all actions so for example: Provoke @ 825 Enmity VS. Provoke @ 1375

Hoping someone here can give me some insight into gear too. Heres my setup:

Main: Storm Lieutenants Labrys
Head: Fighters Burgeonet
Body: Lominsan Officers Overcoat - For Hard Hitting Bosses, you'll need a HP Meld or VIT Meld Cuirass, so you'll lose your 5 piece bonus
Hands: Cobalt Gauntlets (2x T4 STR meld)
Legs: Fighters Breeches - Felt Trousers STR 18+/VIT 20+ (Melded)
Feet: Lominsan Officers Boots
Waist: Cobalt Plate Belt Melded with HP or ENM+
Ring1: Electrum +1
Ring2: Rubellite - HQ
Neck: Electrum Gorget - Explorer's Choker - so you can use another HQ Rubelite Ring
Wrists: Storm Sergeants Bracelets
Ear: Storm Sergeants Earrings

Stats:
STR 318
VIT 277
Atk Power 542
ACC 384

Im still a way off from the stat caps. I plan on putting 2x STR or VIT melds on my Cobalt Plate Belt and trying to get a Rubellite Ring +1 but, after that, Im not sure where to go.

There's my suggestions.

If you wish to play warrior end game your gonna need double meld vit body darklight helm and sollerets. Along with that your gonna need the basic enmity gear coral armille stonewall earring enmity melded belt some acc rings and a different weapon with acc already on it I recommend moogle or garuda axe. End game ppl run with one tank so being a back up isn't really much of an option. With 17 min cc av your not gonna make it with 2 tanks. You can do without the darklight but u r gonna need militia armet and sentinel sabatons with hp on em to replace them. I'm just listing the best gear I know so if it seems overwhelming know that you can make up lack of gear with skill and experience.

I like your circular logic here.

...not really. You don't NEED these, they are just nice to have. You could very well go with the imperial operative tricorne and explorer's moccasins for DD.

I did, you said that you need several pieces of gear, first of which you mentioned DL gear. I'm just clarifying that you don't need all of them.
