Stopping in to nitpick. Can't stand when people discount our EVA. >_>; THF and DNC are the only jobs that can get more EVA bonuses. THF with one tier, and DNC pulling ahead by +2EVA with 5/5 Closed position merits.

I don't understand the "dead master" comment. Unlike glass cannon DDs, I can usually survive just fine when a mob turns my way. :3 In fact, I've found myself EVA tanking for my shell a lot lately. And if I do die, I can just send my Dolly back into the fray to contribute while I'm getting unweakened.
