Wait since when is GH/RR/Apoc only good when you have almace/ochain... Vorpal Blade has a higher damage potential than Sanguine on PLD...

My Atmas on PLD are:
Only Red/Blue !! and nothing else: VV/Sea Daughter/Sundering Slash (7-10tp helps when you're just there to proc)
Skill up Shield: Stronghold/MC/Plaguebringer or Apoc if I think I'll die
Anything else: GH/RR/Apoc
