While that is a good strategy it brings up the why even have an aegis argument

You know that's actually a good question. I made Aegis before Ochain so I have always had it but ever since I got Ochain I've probably used it maybe 20% of the time. I recommend to anyone just starting out on pld to make Ochain first then Aegis and if you love pld Burtgang. All the other Relics and Empyreans are just fluff. The reason its worth it to make an Aegis though is because for that 20% I took no spell dmg and everyone else died sometimes so it literally saved the run because while I was able to hold the group was able to reset. AATT during meteor spam for example. Cloudsplitter during <25% hp phase will one shot you or just make it really hard to recover from on difficult.

Actually if you think about it. Ochain isn't even a PDT shield. Has the worst dmg mitigated of any of the high tier shields. It was a solo piece because pld has no real way to get mp back once it is gone. It's like a refresh/sipar you would use /NIN to tank stuff.

I spent a #^$& load of time making my Aegis back in the day. Emp's were the poor mans relic. The rich man should be able to be the rich man and stand above the rest of the crowd.

Cold to say it like that but that is just the way it is.
