Full AF+2 set "Damage Absorb" Rate

[Anucris]

This could have been plds DMg mitigation to put it on par with mnk. But it's too gimp with the low proc rate. Pld only reduces DMg while mnk avoids and deals xtra DMg. With a higher proc rate (not counting reprisal). So pld lose hate more/quicker. Course I don't have ochain so I dunno just how sweet it is. Still woulda been nice for a higher proc to totally mitigate DMg here n there and get a bonus from it. Whm would have to cure even less freeing up time to get rid of status effects quicker. U don't lose any CE on absorbs which pld has harder time getting back than DD.

On easy crap (abyssea/old content) not even ochain makes PLD a good replacement for MNK

Edit: The difference between a normal shield PLD and Ochain PLD is huge but in a defensive manner not offensive which is why MNK > PLD on easy crap even with Ochain.
