[DEV 1009] Kings update, drop rates.

[wish12oz]

Where did I say that ? Carrying 20 pieces of gear for 15% reduction is idiotic especially with cure 6.

You said it repeatedly in the post I linked to in my last comment to you. And it's exactly what I was pointing out to you. With an MDT set you lose 4 spaces and take 33.5% of magic damage (according to you) and you were championing resistance gear at 20++++ spaces of inventory to take 15% of magic damage. Which is completely not useful IMO. MDT set only. And the less gear required to cap MDT the better IMO. D ring is amazing, it's best in slot, best out of all options available based on what you lose to equip it compared to other slots. People who think it's useless are really bad at this game, nothing more needs to be said about it.

PLD is useless as every one knows. Why would Defending ring all of a sudden become useful ?

Because the ring is not for PLD. It's for jobs that require PDT to tank effectively sometimes. Or for melees who pull hate and aren't trying to tank to avoid dieing.

Now if we are back to the old FFXI where optimizing matters

Everything you post everywhere is all about optimizing everything, why are you arguing against it for this and saying D ring is useless?
