In all honesty, I am not telling you that you 'shouldn't have Str on your GD bow', rather, I am explaining why STR would not necessarly be as benefitial to you as the AGI you are so egger to toss aside. STR is a stat which benefits your DMG no matter which way you go with it really, it improves your normal hit DMG and your WS DMG, however, AGI only boosts WS DMG, but by a much higher amount, and with no possible cap, where as STR's effects can cap in both normal DMG & WS DMG situations. That means, AGI should be superior on any and all weaker targets, and will likely be better on stronger targets.

Is this me telling you how to play or what you 'have to accept'? No, this is me trying to explain why they likely made it the way they did. You are looking at a piece of gear and a path made for DMG. All of the best RNG WSs are currently a high quality AGI mod, 2 of the 3 are 100% AGI mods, that means AGI will have a massive effect on them, more than STR will. Due to this fact, its good for DMG, if you need Ranged Accuracy, what effects it? AGI, so its good for DMG & for Accuracy, and it makes you evade more too, making it 3 for 3 on the augment paths. You can continue to complain that its AGI not STR, but really, its a fairly pointless complaint, they did something likely better for your DMG rather than worse, and instead of being grateful, you are complaining they didn't give you choice?!



So far as PLD goes. If you have the resources to get a Mikinaak body to rank 15, you should have the resources to get a Cizin Body and a +2 stone, which will get you more DEF, more PDT, more HP, more MP, and even the same VIT provided they even gave a VIT augment to the Mikinaak body, since Miki has a base of 15, and Cizin has a base of 25. So the argument on that piece specifically, is bad, because its just not really useful or practical. PLD got screwed by Delve in the respect there were no PDT augments, and hardly any PDT stats, since only the body, which I just ruled out, has PDT on it. The only way you could fix Mikinaak gear to be worth something to PLD outside of DMG, for actual tanking, would be to make a PDT/MDT/DT path with more than 4% PDT on it, or some amount of MDT/DT, though that is all subject to sets, because the greater DEF/MEVA/MDEF from Cizin could still render it weaker, even though Cizin is easier to obtain. The obvious work around would be to add DEF/MDEF/EVA/MEVA to the augment paths, but that's all a matter of adding new paths then adding them to an entire set of gear, taking away other augments for other jobs, and bringing more jobs closer to PLD in tanking.

Sorry to rant.
