Why is SE so passionate about giving PLD's Critical Hit Rate on their gear?

Ahh yes I do during double streams as well. I get WHM SS after mega flare (solo tank it)

Reading this was amusing!
I'm no expert (Turn 4 XD) but "DET>>SS team" have given direct and concrete explanations on how the game works.
I find them more useful than "You didn't understand what I meat stuff".

Finally a question. If parry increases the chance to parry with shield, i suposse it affects de chance of use shield swipe then would help to mitigate your TP consumption.
Am i right? is this useful?

Finally sorry about the grammar and stuff (say it before somebody uses against me XD), but im from Latinoamérica.

Gracias por las respuestas y Mijin deja de trollear a la gente.... ¬¬

Party doesn't effect block rate.

PLD main over here. Cleared T9.
I gear my PLD with maximization on skill speed. Ignore parry.

No TP issues, no problems tanking, no problems holding hate. I am on bard in lodestone now but when i switch it back to PLD. You guys can check out my gear.
Alot of gil is needed to maximize skill speed though.

Curious how you accomplish a speed "build" logistically when most of the left side doesn't even have speed as a i110 option. Or rather what the point is.

There are players who dislike skill speed because it makes them run out of TP faster (because you are using more attacks in less time due to faster cooldowns).
However, let's remember that raids such as T8 and T9 are time limited.
i.e. time allocated is fixed for the fight.
So, it makes perfect sense to squeeze more attacks into that same amount of time.
There is also the side benefit of being able to activate abilities such as shield swipe (which does not interrupt a PLD's rotation) and shield bash more quickly.
These abilities cannot be activated when your other weapon skills are still in cooldown.
Let's not forget fracture also.

As for your question on how to accomplish the speed build, please wait till i reset lodestone to show my PLD which i will do when i get back home.
