Considering crafted right as BiS for tanks is 100% legit…

You can put DET, SS or ACC in your free slot.
As you know, melded accessories have the highest overall power level, but not so strong as a slaying one. Fending accessory can be more tanky than melded one. So you can wear crafted from A1S to A4S.
