Little BST help

[Kensagaku]

The wiki doesn't say anything to the contrary. o_O

2x PDT- axes = 20% PDT
MKD head with augs = 10% PDT + 10% MDT (10% DT, but I'm breaking this down for another reason)
Shepherd's Chain = 2% PDT + 2% MDT (2% DT)
Stout Servant (base) = ~5% PDT + ~5% MDT (~5% DT)
Stout Servant (boost from Ferine Quijotes +1/2) = ~2% PDT + ~2% MDT (~2% DT)

Currently in gear we have ~39% (round up to 40% due to the slight variance on testimony for Stout Servant +1 boost) PDT and ~20% MDT. Not a bad start. We need 60% more PDT to hit the 100% mark.

Atma of the Zenith = 10% PDT + 10% MDT (10% DT)
Atma of the Ducal Guard = 50% PDT + 50% MDT when HP < 50%

39/40% + 60% = 99/100% PDT
20% + 60% = 80% MDT

Toss on Razed Ruins and you're golden. I like to have Mounted Champion around for when I'm getting hit or if the mob is a bit magic-spam happy, but at times where I can't afford to melee this works out better because my pet is taking none or next to no damage. Tada?

Pretty much what everyone else says but.....

I just full time Razed ruin for faster kills and use pet food. That's what it was created for. If it's a mob that casts magic sometimes you can get away with running in and out during casts so your not hit. Other times I just tank the magic till I am yellow then rest up while my pet does it's job. Never take off Razed Ruins bst solo'in is long enough. lol

Note the "or" there. xD And it's not RR I take off, my alternate setup is RR/MC/DG. If a mob is spam-happy with his spells, I have reward but I also have that gradual 20/tick HP for my pet that can actually help out in a pinch. But that's situational, for a pure tank RR/Zenith/DG is the best combo, yeah.

There, I've updated the wiki page now :P.
I guess I forgot to update the page about stout servant before as I was focused on the equipment pages.
It looks pretty clear from the record, that the stout servant +1 from quijotes took the 5% to 6.7%.
At level 90 we have 6.7% already.
The stout servant +1 from Ferine Quijotes +1/2 take it up 1 tier.
tier III appears to be 9%
6.7 is a 34% improvement from 5%
9% is a 34% improvment from 6.7%
I would not be surprised if BST sees 1 more tier of this by level 99.
IF so, I'm guessing a 9% base reduction, and Quijotes should take it up to 12%

Noticed the "OR" personally on a magic spam happy mob I can't espically see dropping 10% both PDT and MDT by losing Zenith and replacing with regen being the better option. If it was a non magic mob you could evasion tank then ya I have done that. Now in all fairness there has been one mob I think you break even swaping out those atmas that cast magic and that's Amhuluk tanked with Dipper. Other then that one situation thou I've personally always found Zenith > Mounted champion for magic happy mobs.
