So i finished my PLD... After my WAR

[Ruminate]

Not quite that useless, in fact, at Lv50, iLvl70 crafted accessories are the best in the game for tanks pre-coil drops, due to the itemization having STR, DEX and 2 secondary stats, since you can slot it with VIT and get a much better item than the equivalent darklight gear. Additionally, after adding enough ACC to hit the Coil cap, DEX is the best stat to socket. In a crafted set you can easily get over +100 DEX, which is over 13% additional mitigation on PLD. It's not as stellar on WAR though unfortunately.

This is an example of why it is the PLD, not the WAR, that scales better with gear.
