Sentinel VS Last Resort

[Zagen]

While items like the Iron Ram lance do help WAR and DRG hit the 50% cap, I left it out because it's impractical. Sacrificing TP to go defensive everytime the mob gets ready to do something nasty... you probably won't be tanking anyway so the whole point of the set is moot.

That said, you did prove that WAR and DRG can hit the respective caps. I'll give you credit for that. But that's where the JA's come into play. They're not needed, but they do technically disqualify WAR or DRG from being better at dmg mitigation than PLD.

I do agree with the point you're making though. PLD does desperately need some Offensive tweaks to have an easier time fitting in with the current trend of gameplay. I'm all for that, have been since I started posting here.

Haha it was more "Oh you're challenging me eh!?" kinda moment, and then the MDT was "I wonder if they could hit 50%" moment, even though they only need about half that with a WHM (though I "think" -MDT caps at -25% for gear, I foreget since I don't leave home without a WHM on stuff that matters). Boring day at work after all

On my DD jobs when I tank, I actually use 0 -PDT/MDT gear most of the time and for the NMs I've fought with DD + WHM I've managed just fine (except that stupid Ranger Gigas for Bri pop KI, that sucker is random) There just isn't a "need" on many of the jobs because my WHM mule isn't running out of MP.
