Addressing the topic directly, i would say that 3.1 has been good to PLD.
With the new gear available, PLDs can increase their DPS quite a fair bit via the new gear available from void ark and...

My DRK Eso buy order:
Weapon --> Head --> Hands --> Belt --> STR bracelet
This is because these are BIS whether at ilvl 200 or 210.

Other Eso left hand side items for DRK are not BIS.

Body,...

I am talking about alex savage here. If you are only going to focus on 1 tank and the choice is between DRK and WAR, then level DRK.
WAR is predominantly used as a off-tank. DRK is accepted for...

The original poster doesn't know what he/she is talking about. 'nuff said.

Just because rationalising gear for dealing DPS as a tank (while still being able to do a tank's job effectively) is the optimal way to go for efficiency in alex savage, does not mean that the 'art'...

It is quite simple to pick BIS tank gear. This applies to all tanks. Doesn't matter if you are a DRK, PLD or WAR. Crafted accessories are ignored in what i wrote below.
(1) Look through all the...

PLD main over here and managed to clear A1S and A2S with my static (standard PLD/WAR combi).
We are just starting to practice A3S now.
I am not the best of players but i generally think that what...

I don't do the math and all that nitty gritty stuff. But, the way i gear my DRK is simple.
Pick gear with accuracy, critical hit or determination.
Minimise parry.
Works for me. I am now at 573...

Hotbar 3:
Alt 1 = Reprisal
Alt 2 = Shadowskin
Alt 3 = Foreskin
Alt 4 = Shadow Wall
Alt 5 = Convalescence
Alt 6 = Awareness
Alt 7 = Dark Dance
Alt 8 = Blood Price
Alt 9 = Blood Weapon

My computer keyboard layout is as per below (without explanation for the reasoning).

Hotbar 1:
1 = Provoke
2 = Unleash
3 = Unmend. Macro icon = Plunge
4 = Low Blow
5 = Macro: Reprisal -->...

After above rotation, i use a self-regen rotation:
Dark Arts (whenever MP is above 2000) --> Hard Slash --> Syphon Strike --> Soul Eater.
Weave Reprisal into rotation if it procs. Also, use...

Haven't read the guide in the first post. Just thought i would share how I play DRK (currently, 58). I think i have a good grasp of how to tank as DRK. Doubt i am one of those squishy DRKs, so my...

I did over 100 gold packs before i even saw Zidane.
My advice to players is not to focus entirely on getting MGP to get gold packs.

Rather, its better to focus on getting all the easier-to-get...

This maybe a dumb question. But, here goes as i just want to get it right before i pre-order.

I pay my monthly subscription in British Pounds. I do not pay my monthly subscription in Euros.

I am talking about end game. Meaning, final coil content.

PLD is the more useful of the tanks to have levelled as it can be MT or ST.
Parties will take PLD (MT) + WAR (ST).
They will take PLD...

I can't promise we can help you clear coil and stuff.
But, i am in an english speaking linkshell where you can get advice and stuff.
If you would like to join, give me a /tell in-game. Cheers.

The fact is that i110 items can be grinded with relative ease (hunts ; syrcus tower drops 2 sands). Coil basically just drops items that are of equivalent item level with different stat distributions...

I am a skill-speed based PLD and have not looked back. You may check my character out for gearing.
I clear T9 in this gear setup. The difference between this set and full VIT accessories on the...

There are players who dislike skill speed because it makes them run out of TP faster (because you are using more attacks in less time due to faster cooldowns).
However, let's remember that raids...

PLD main over here. Cleared T9.
I gear my PLD with maximization on skill speed. Ignore parry.

No TP issues, no problems tanking, no problems holding hate. I am on bard in lodestone now but when i...

I would actually say that ilvl 70 crafted accessories are very competitive and worth a look versus allagan/hero's accessories.

Welcome to Tiamat, Von.
Please feel free to send me a tell in-game and i'll invite you to our english FC, MAJOR.
My nick is Aeres Silverfox.

I recommend referring to this resource i had created for my PLD.
Look at the figures provided for accessories and you can plan accordingly for your 5 melds.


For gryphonskin ring:

Since you are restricted to one drop a week in crystal tower, can i ask what is to stop people from the following:

Let's say the gear you want drops, you greed or need it and you get it.
So, the...

Big congratulations to Blue Gartr.
I am very curious to know if there are any more quests/main story after you turn in the win for turn 5 at waking sands?
