Yeah...we're talking about unique combinations that offer something other subs don't give, which PLD doesn't give. At all. All the stuff it gives is redundant with other subs and pretty much always does it inferiorly. Also, PLD sub was never useful.

Ninjas have a defense line for stun-resistant mobs, it's called Utsusemi. If you're seriously up against one of those few monsters that are both stun-resistant and can -ga you half to death your MDT set and waltz spam should be more than enough to keep you alive, especially if you augmented Anwig/Desultor with DNC-related abilities (MDT/WaltzRecast PDT/WaltzTPCost respectively, that way they serve double duties, because only like 1 person in the universe has Suijin Kabuto).
